Beginning of a story part 2 (the girls version)
During the meeting , where there was an interval at thinking-the girl would glance sideways to gather more of the guy sitting next to her. A glimpse of his resting hand revealed that he was a nail biter...aahgh!!! So much for always thinking that I want to marry a guy who wears nice shoes and has neat hands. What now? Cant tell my parents I cant marry him cause he dosent fit the packaging criteria. A look at the shoes...regular, black lace tie ups. Hmm....very usual. Small talk between families. He seems friendly, tried making conversation, maybe he wont mind my male friends. Maybe he and I will be best friends...?
Oh, he turns around and talks to her about her interests. "photography you said...is it work or hobby?
"passion" she replied with a smile. hmm....maybe he wont be a boring businessman afterall. More of talk between families. He asked for a soft drink instead of tea...is he not a tea drinker? Tea to me is what oxygen is to plants...maybe hes addicted to caffine and nicotine?
A fake smile danced on her lips. The guys mother talks about how nice it is to see females getting into professional education and pursuing their careers.
"Oh, maybe my working after marriage could be a possibility."
Too many maybes-too many hopes-too many unanswered questions!
An hour passes. The guys family gets up to leave. Exchange of greetings and kisses. A flow of smiles and nice meeting you's. The girl stands on a side, looking down and can actually feel a quick up to down xraying by the guy.
Thank God its over...oh not really...maybe its just a beginning...What next? What if they do propose?
A mixed array of emotions. Relief, anxiety, happiness, a sinking feeling. Forget it!
Live for the moment. The second the family is out of door, the girl grabs a plate and fills it up with the goodies. Sighs relief, sits cross legged on the floor cushion, smiles a half smile and enjoys the delicassies.....maybe this is the end of the beginning....or the beginning of an end...!
