Anticipation...Once the tickets were booked and we knew the date (11th December 2004) time almost stopped to a stand still. Days felt longer and nights seemed non-ending. We both were busy with our shopping and traveling preparations. I had to buy clothes for my engagement and for the nikah but after having a look at shops in Green Street and Wembley, I decided to do my shopping from Bombay.
My parents were still not able to decide on dates for engagement and nikah. It was still not decided if it was to be done the same day or a day after. These talks didn't bother me at all. All I was thinking about was meeting her for the first time.
Along with the happiness and curiosity, there was also an element of fear. Somewhere in my heart, I use to think about what if she doesn't like me in real life. You can know a person online, but it is so very different to carry forward the same emotions for the person when you meet them in real life. I was sure from my side about my feelings. I knew I would love to see her, talk to her and be with her in real life as I do in virtual life. But what if...
When you are in a state looking for answers, and in a state of confusion, day is like a heaven. You go to work and you get yourself involved in your routine activities and ignore about your confusion. Then comes night. All your questions comes out from their hiding in front of you. Bugging you and creeping all over you for answers. The most horrible of all the questions was... What if???
