Me: But what?

Dad: He has a wish, which you have to fulfil.

Me: What?

Dad: He wants to witness your marriage as soon as possible. So ... it is best if you agree for marriage with ... Krishna ... Soon.

{Why is the whole world trying to get me married? Is this another stupid dream, like last night?}

 I pinched myself. 

{No, not a dream. Is it some kind of emotional blackmail? The whole world has conspired against me. I am trapped now. I have no other choice.}

Me: Hmm ...

Dad: What?

Me: Do I have another choice? You people have already decided it. Anyways; for grandpa, I am agreeing.

I sighed. And entered the ICU. The sight of my good old grandpa, lying unconscious on the hospital bed, melted my heart. I never expected that I would see him in such a condition. That moment, I realised how much I missed him.

{I will never forgive myself if I don't fulfill his wish.} I gently rubbed his forehead with my palms and exited the ICU.

 I then went to the washroom to wash my face. But I ended up crying my heart out for good 15 mins. I finally washed my face and returned to find HIS family chatting with mine. I sat at a corner, far away from them, replaying the day in my mind and pitying myself. Krishna came and sat beside me.

He: I can understand your worry. It does not have to be me. I mean ... if you don't like me ... You don't have to force yourself. If you want, I can speak to your parents ...

Me: I don't have another choice. And don't worry. I am fine; I think so ...

I stood up and headed towards the garden to have some fresh air. By the time I returned, everything was fixed. I was about to get married, the next week in a temple, in a simple way; with just few relatives attending it. I was glad that it did not involve much excitement. {Simple is always the best.}

That moment, when I exited the ICU, I had to prepare myself so that, 'I SEE YOU' as a husband.

I did not know then, that;  I exited one ICU to enter into another ICU.

A short update? I know. But I had to stop here, so that their marriage can be descried in a fresh chap.

A turning point in the life of Radha.

So what do you feel?

Hopefully, next chap will be sooner than you expected.
