I wake up in the morning and when I open my eyes I try to remember what had happened just before I slept. I was able to remember faintly because I felt as if I had slept after crying a lot. A sleep after crying a lot is actually very relieving. I touched my hair and it was all well made. Decorated with flowers. Plaited neatly. When I looked at myself, I was draped in a saree. The white saree with a red border. A saree that is worn during the telugu wedding.When I looked a little down from my neck I saw a holy thread hanging. Which meant I was married. Married to whom??
I was married. I took me some time to realize that. I was trying to remember again what had happened yesterday. I had been to a wedding where some dispute happened and I was married to some stranger whom I had never met in my life. I never spoke to him. Something that I never imagined would happen in my life. How did my parents accept to this? Why did I accept to this?
I just peeped through the door and I saw the stranger, who is supposed to be my husband getting ready to go to office. This shocked me even more. A newly married couple would have so many rituals and celebrations, a series of celebrations in fact. But my stranger husband was going to office?!
I kept looking not understanding what was happening. He looked at me once, as if his eyes told me, “Take your time to realize the truth …. and even I need time for the same”.
I laid back on my bed and started thinking. After my marriage, why am I still in my house when I am supposed to be in my in-laws house. Even if I am in my house, why has this stranger come to my house? Probably he came because he had to oblige the situation. What next???!!!!
BANG!! I woke up from my bed when I realized this was all a dream. I felt so relieved and after sometime I realized that i had a very thrilling dream! :-)
