Introduction...Here she was in front of me, in real. I wasnt in a condition to react. I was just looking at her blankly. I then brought my hand forward to say Hello!
She hugged me :-)
I was not in this world, I was floating somewhere else. After all these days/weeks/months of anticipation, here she was standing in front of me. My brother and cousin went to get the cab sorted. I hugged her.
On our way to hotel, we kept talking and never ever felt that I was seeing her or meeting her for the first time, in real. It was like how it is when I meet my parents/brother/friends when I visit India. It all came very very natural and normal. I thanked Allah for making her the way she was.
She had to do her Police reporting and stuff so whole evening we were together roaming around and going from office to office to get the reporting sorted. I believe it was Allah's way of making us more comfortable to each other and to make each other know better that He made us go from office to office. Otherwise if it was done in few minutes, we would have spent our evening at hotel with everyone else.
I took her out for shopping after the reporting was done. I took her to Metro for shoes and after lots and lots of insisting be the salesman and by me, she still refused to buy a shoe or sandal. But it was just for that day I guess, because a few days later she bought 4/5 pairs of shoes and sandals :-p
We spent two days in Bombay. Time went by so quickly. All the time with her, I was happy; happy as I was never before. But still somewhere in my heart, I was afraid. There was a fear of what if my parents, my family, my relatives don't find her as they had imagined. The feeling got worse when I reached my native place.
My parents were about to see their daughter-in-law...
