Proposal...All this time we were thinking along the lines that we will meet in December and then decide if we are good for each other. From the day I told her that I love her, I wanted to get married to her. December all of a sudden lost its importance. All that was important was to be with her. We decided to get engaged in December and get married in June/July 2005.
Mom knew about Fatee. She knew that I was in touch with a girl from Pakistan and I had shown her the pictures of her. She like her a lot but she did not give her views. She wanted me to decide on my own. I was still thinking about when to ask mom to call ammi and talk about our engagement in December. Then one day Zainab, Fatee's sister, pinged me. We use to talk a lot when Fatee use to sleep early because of a tired day at work. Zainab and I use to talk for hours together about how important Fatee is to her, their childhood memories, their fights, them sharing all the shoes, makeup, clothes, etc.
The more you hear about the person you love from others, the more you get to know about them. When you directly talk to the person, you get to know what you want to know. By talking with others, you get to know their point of view about the concerned person. It adds finer details to the portrait you have.
Zainab was supposed to go for a picnic and wanted to tell all her friends about her sisters engagement. It was now necessary to talk to mom for the formal and official rishta. Mom called ammi on 9th October to say we would like to do the engagement in December. WOW the feeling was unbelievable. Fatee and I remember this date so well because it was Maryam's birthday.
So, December it was...
