Maya...

This was my first ever flight trip. Irony I never knew I would have this type of a trip. Sighing i pulled some cash to get something to eat. Something caught my eyes. A watch advertisement . It was something Vasanth loves. A brand I came to know because of him. Tissot. His favourite which he would say he wants once in his life. I smiled and walked into the advertisement. I placed my hand on the display to see how it looks on a closer range.

It was indeed looking so great.

Vasanth. He was like a fresh air in my dry life. He was not bad but that doesn't mean he didn't hurt me. We had our quarrels we had our differences but I still loved him. But when there is a clash between love and self respect I chose self respect.

Thinking so my mind drifted towards the period when I met Vasanth and how we ended up marrying.

Vasanth was very calm composed happy and silent person you can ever see. The minute I saw his face i knew he was the one.

We met via mutual family friend. That day i had a very big argument with my parent. I was never into marriage and i know how this shit works. I never wanted to be dependent on anyone. I have first hand examples of failed or miserable marriages in my life and I am NOT going to be a part of this scam called marriage.

The moment I saw him my heart stopped. He was tall. Neat and handsome. He was tall and at moment I realised I had a thing for tall guys. He was tall that was what my mind was screaming. When he came I donno why I felt for the first time in my life i belong to someone.

A sense of belonging a sense of peace a sense of happiness and a sense of love I felt in my entire life i channelised towards him.

He was like a breath of a fresh air a water to quench my thirst a blessing in hell and a rope when you are about to lose your trip in the hanging clif.

He didn't bring me a bouquet but a small bunch of roses which were more of a button roses. He pulled it from behind making me giggle.

Hiee came his soothing voice. His voice is now my new melody. I know I know it may be cringe but I can guarantee it is love at first sight. Never once I felt in my life I would fall in love let alone at first sight. He was wearing a grey shirt and blue pant. He had a back pack. I donno what it had in it. But he was there.

The irony is our first meeting was not in some posh restaurants or some malls but in a temple.

I want to think how i met him how he saw me and what he meant to me but what he had become now.

Madhi was my friend whose cousin is from a family where we came to know there was a family who was looking for marriage. Mom called me when I was working and said the same thing straight forward declined the alliance. No more marriage shit talks was what I said.

Mom left the talk as it is and months passed and no more irritating talks. Life was smooth even though the outside world was a war zone for me my house was a peaceful place.

Suddenly mom called me during office hours.

"Ma what happened ?? Why are you calling me in office hours. The month end is happening." She in a very hush voice said "there was a call..." She stopped in mid.

Who would have called ?? All the loans are closed all the money is paid so who is calling now ?? I thought in that gap of 2 seconds.

"From a family and they are interested to get you married to their son." I rolled my eyes. Here we go for next half an hour to convince her that I don't want to get married to him. Signing I saw my watch. Right one hour is gonna be very hard time. With the very thought I spoke to her in a very pleading tone. It went for half an hour and it was getting on my nerves.

"Ma I don't want to marry that too not now. Before you start to build a dream castle stop it. I don't want it and let that be final." I spoke to her and she explained to me how it is good to be married and have a family. Who is she kidding I know how it is and how it will end. So better stop before it even starts.

"Ma..." I started but before I could even talk further she stopped me with a demand stating " you are going to meet him and that's final. All are already fixed. This evening you are going to meet him so you better fix the venue. Also I'm sharing his number but your number has already been shared. So go and meet him today bye" She cut the call. She freaking cut the call. Sighing i slumped. Never in my life I went out with anyone let alone as a date. And ofcourse it is not a date but a meeting talking and getting to know who we are which is basically a date.

Throwing my hands and legs i cried silently not literally tho. Gosh from when did mom become this stubborn. Sighing i banged on my work table i walked towards my cafeteria.

"You ok maya ??" Came a voice. Jenni my collegue also I can say another victim of marriage.

"Not at all ok Jenni" I said and placed my head on her shoulder. She was like a sister to me and practically knows my problem also she is someone I can rely upon. " What happened ??" She said making me take my head from her shoulder. Mom wants me to meet someone and also she is stubborn for me to meet him and fyi today evening aka within 1 hour i have to meet the so called person mom got impressed upon." I said with a crying tone. She giggled.

"It's such a sweet thing aunty is doing. Comeon maya not all are bad." She said.

"Exactly not all are bad and I know my luck so I don't want to go and meet him. After all the trust issues I have you want me to meet a person comeon Jenni be practical." I chimned.

"Don't worry everything will be good. Now be a good girl and collect your bag and move your butt out of the office now. " She said and practically threw me out of the office.

Suddenly a text message notification blinked on my screen.

"Hiee this is Vasanth. I got this number from my mom. I was asked to meet you. Could you tell me the exact location to meet you??"

So this is the one mom is speaking about.

Wow what a gentleman. No how are you how you doing just straight to the point. What a... I couldn't get the word.

I just responded a single word.

TEMPLE....
