It took some time for me to actually realise what he said and respond to it. My face became pale and I was not able to think or react. I froze. My jaws were open and could not even blink my eyes. In my head, again so many questions came up. What is happening? Did I hear him correct? Is he serious? I think he is just checking me. What should I answer? What do usually the actresses answer when such questions are asked by actors? Did he really say that? Is he proposing me? Why did he propose me so un-romantically?
He asked looking at me smiling, as if he is proposing me, “Jane, what are you thinking? You don’t want to?” I swallowed the lump in my mouth and said, “I don’t know, I need to ask my dad”. And I walked off.
I kept thinking, why did I say this? Ask Dad? What made me say that?
Next morning was as usual, he came up with a smile and greeted m “Hi”. I said “Hi” and continued with my work. We spoke all official things and ended the day.
Months went by with same official stuff, clubbed up with a couple of “sorries here and there” and “I did not mean to hurt you” days passed by.
One fine day he came up next to me and said, “I have resigned, and I will leave in a months’ time. I would be travelling abroad.” I eyes wide open and could not realise that I will be missing this smart, tall, dark, handsome, funny guy.
On his last working date in HP, I was upset the whole day and could not control my tears. Ganesh was my love. I will not be able to concentrate on my work. What am I going to do? Farewell time, all spoke wonderful words, but I was only left with tears. He knew I love him, he knew I will miss him, but he has to move on.
He went for his first abroad trip. I was left alone with his memories and waiting to see if he calls me in his busy trip. Yes he did one day and I was on cloud nine, after talking to him for even 5 minutes.
After 3 months, he came to Chennai with a surprise and made plans to meet my parents directly to let them know that we want to spend the rest of our lives together as the “Man & Wife”. My parents are the best parents and very supportive of whatever decisions we take. They agreed and also met his parents. All went on fine!
He is a Hindu-Marathi & I am Tamil-Roman Catholic, we expected huge amount of drama at both places. But, the compromise was huge from both sides to make sure their kids are happily married.
I was finally in the arms of my “LOVE”. The only and the best person, who understands me totally. I can be myself to him. Ganesh is one person after my parents and brother who has seen me angry, sad, happy, moody, crying, depressed and what not. He is one person who I know will never leave me. When I shed tears he catches them and turns them into pearls and diamonds. What more would I ask from this lovely life of mine.
The name “Ganesh” is the LORD, son of the creator of earth “Shiva”. In every hindu family, lord Ganesha is worshipped before any good things.
I worship my husband, my soul-mate, with whom I began this journey as a Married lady!!!
