#207 …when you think he may be "the one."

Growing up without parents isn’t easy. Ever since we shifted to Rishikesh to our granny’s house after our parents’ demise, life has changed. Though everybody else was always around, we – me and my sis - always missed them. As we grew up, Granny took hold of our lives and when it was time for me to get married; I gave her the power of attorney to my life. My sis was totally against the idea. She asked me then and there, “What about Dr Manan?”

“What about him?” I said walking away, trying to calm my heart that had started beating faster.    

She followed me out and held me by hands.

“Do not avoid the question,” she said.

“If I had to decide, he may have been the one. But there’s no question on who’s to decide that. So dump that question and look ahead.” I said bringing a fake smile to my face.

Though I shut her up, I couldn’t shut up my mind that kept asking if I was doing the right thing… I had no answer. I wondered what I saw in him that still stirs something in me.
