The Day...I wasn't able to sleep properly for a couple of nights. I was thinking all the time about how I should say those three magical words. There was also a tussle about whether I should say the four magical words first or the three: four being Will you marry me? Four words, not counting the question mark :-)
On third October 2004 I told her. The words I was holding back for so long. The words I wanted to tell her long time back but was not sure enough or rather I should say not brave enough to say. I told her that I love her. She was silent. Not a word from her. I asked her again and again. She replied back but I could feel the emotions she was going through. It was the most beautiful night in a long long long time :-)
On the bed, after talking to her, I went through all the things that had happened in those three months. The journey from 'Hi, this is Fatima' to 'I love you too'. The journey from 'I am from Rawalpini' to 'Where we will live after marriage'. The journey from 'I have one brother and two sisters' to 'We will have just three kids'. The journey from 'It was nice talking to you' to 'Thanks for coming into my life'. I wasn't able to sleep again, not because of indecisiveness but because of the calm, because of relief, because of lightness I was feeling. The Sunday of third October changed the way we talked on phone for ever.
Now all I had to do was ask my mom to call her mom and send a proper rishta :-)
