“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
-Mignon McLaughlin
My sister often used to ask me... " ei joker tar sathe biye kore khusi thakbi to?"(will you be happy with this joker!?) ......
I used to nod say no never i hate him.........but in my heart i always knew this was the guy for me....... a guy my sister looked upto as big brother ....my ma and baba.... never said no to this relationship ......they knew he was an uncut diamond...... my amma got a grandson in him......
and for me i got a lifetime best friend in him....... the best gift god gave me!
The other day i happened to bump with one of my school mate after a gap of ten years.......(she is neither on Facebook nor on twitter) so no contact at all.... ....she hugged me..... seeing the noa( the iron wrapped in gold bangle a must for Bengali married women) the usual questions popped ....how are you? when did you get married? whom did you get married? and all...... she was alone she asked whether i am free to have a cup of coffee with her..... we sat in a coffee shop in the mall we were both visiting..........we were talking about school days and how life treated us till date....
Suddenly she said ..... " dekh chleta toke sei kokhon theke jhari marche"......( see the guy checking you out for such a long time)
I turned back to see ...... saw a guy in a white shirt and black trouser...starring at me with those puppy dog eyes.......awwww
She said : we are turning thirty this year and its nice that guys still check us out........giggles
I said: hmmm feels really nice( i was blushing)
After that she asked: hey you were waiting for your husband nah? where is he...after seeing your husband.... this guy will be heart broken ......and chuckled...
After a few moments the same guy who was checking me out was headed to our table......
my friend warned me: "dekh amader table er dikei asche"( see the guy is heading to our table)
As the guy came forward he asked whether he can share the table i said yes...... and did see the alarmed look in my friends eyes.....( you got married and its been just a year!! and whats all this?)
after a few odd moments of silence....i said: hey meet my husband..... hahahahah(laughs)
It was great to see her reaction...shocked, amazed.....fully taken aback!
It was great to see her reaction...shocked, amazed.....fully taken aback!
life changes after marriage ......for me too it did....from a good boy friend to a super great husband!
