The Engagement

We were about to board the train. I was busy carrying the luggage and she was on her cellphone and talking to her bhabhi. For a moment my eyes caught her cell, completely unintended completely natural. She was deleting his messages. Why would you do it? I asked her the next morning and she said she didn't remember. Clearly not something forget in a span of less than 12 hours. She said maybe she didn't want others to take a look and know of things. I agreed.

Finally the day arrived. It was about to happen. The moment we were waiting for the last 5 years. It was going to come true and yet here I was still thinking if she was happy. I wished I did not drag her into this. However she had always been clear on her stance. Maybe I was thinking too much. The guy would still ping her and say how beautiful she looked. Yes I felt bad. Why would he not stop pinging her? Even now?

It was all done. We were happy. I wish she was. She was always good at hiding her emotions. But surely she would not for such a massive thing. I could have been happier at my own engagement. But the last 20 days did not let me. We went for a personal photoshoot and came close. She said she loved me. Yes I felt happy. I wish she said it more often in the days to come. It felt good. Maybe our relationship had matured but I needed it.

It ended well. Only for more troubles in the days to come.
