It was on the 25th of April...I was busy in the office...that outa the blue my fone started ringing...I was like gosh. This fone of mine can never stop ringing. And as if people get ideas that im in middle of sum work that they disturb me...finally got my hands on the fone under the papers on my desk.. Without having a look on my fone I attended the cal n said hello in not so polite way...n hello meri jaan came a sweet voice n I forgot what I was doing n the caller was none other than my mum...n not to my surprise but shock my mum was like im thinking of getting Ur younger sis engaged..I had a loud laugh On this....
I said: mum u need to grow up...im so busy in office n do u really think this is the right time to crack a joke...although nice joke but wrong timing....
Mum: do u think im a fool I would disturb u at this time to crack a joke...Im serious...Im thinking of this since pretty long time...and I have short listed a guy...
Me: shortlisted a guy. hahahaha... Maaa. do u know her age...she is s kid...
Mum: 4 u.n btw do u know her age...she is well matured to get engaged at least.
Me: maa give her some time...and on top of that u say u have some 1 in Ur mind. I flunk to understand...
Mum: flunk to understand what baby...u'll never understand. She is of the rite age...May b a yr or so less...but this time the guy is really gud. Moreover she is ready..
Me: she is ready.4 what. did u speak to her...
Mum: yes i did...
me: hahahahah... c i told u she is a kid. Otherwise she wud b knowing this is not the right time to get engaged...
Mum: she is mature n u acting like a kid...this is end of discussion...and if u wanna know about the guy..most welcome otherwise im also busy...
Me:ok temme everything in detail....
Mum:ok listen his name is Nayeem...
me: Nayeem...old fashioned name...(I wanted to end this topic here only as I seriously thought she is tooooooooo young 4 al this...)
mum: now listen...he is working in Dubai in a bank...
n on n on n on went my mum...about him, about his family n all...
In the whole conversation I was trying to figure out 1 point against them so that I can just save my sis.... I was serious about her being young...
When mum hanged up the fone the first thing I did was I called my said n enquired if she was happy n ready 4 al this...to my utter surprise she was...
At this time I made my mind to go with the flow because I thought whatever happens she will always remain younger to me n it will always remain in the back of My mind that she is younger to me...
The guy is in Dubai n she is in Delhi. Means they won’t get to meet...but they figured outa way...they called each other n exchanged the pix n did video chatting...
N finally both of them said yes......a yes......u know...
Means my naughty lil sis is going to b a bride soon...bride. I still don’t believe this. I still remember her playing hide n seek n teacher teacher...n her fighting with me..n her all lil things and my running after her...she would never study without me by her side. And would make fun of me at the end..
On every of my special occasion she would not gift me a gift but would in turn demand a gift for herself..
Finally the date was fixed for them to get engaged…10may..
10th of may was the day for my nautanki baaz lil sis to b a bride.. aaaaaaaa..
I was nervous I was excited I was on the cloud 9..
I was so busy preparing for the engagement…I wanted not even a single stone just to b left unturned…I was busy shopping for her dress her jewelery and yet managing my office…I was in constant touch with my parents to see that all the preparations are going well on their side…
Getting a day off from office was pain in the neck…somehow managed to.. Had no other option…The occasion was worthwhile taking all the pains..
Saturday I flied to my home town after office.. Reached home… so much work was pending… and with a nice excuse my mother said we were waiting for you to do all this so that u don’t blame us if I don’t like it…
Blame them.. Please it was already 7pm…when was I supposed to do it…and when was I supposed to attend the mehndi function… I had directly come from office and then the flight had also been delayed.. I was tired.. “Still anything for my sister…”
I don’t think even my sis was so eager to see her would be husband as I was to meet him…
The day was Sunday and we were supposed to meet in a hotel at 3pm… I Guess I was supposed to take care of my sister and see that she is looking beautiful.. Her makeup is done perfectly.. But I was busy with mine.. I had to look good aswell… There were so many cousins and frnds around my sister so I thought it is better I mind my business and look that my husband is comfortable…
Everyone got ready and left for the hotel… We were waiting for the groom and his family at the reception only.
And ………………..
And……………………..
Here they were…my jiju… Dressed up in a black suit…looking perfect.. with his innocent smile on his face…
I was relaxed… he was good looking, down to earth ,Caring, honest,.....over all a "nice guy"…
That was the time I was fully satisfied… because down in the heart of hearts I was a bit scared.
The function went well.. And everyone was happy..
I wish both of them a very happy life...love u both....
