I really don't know if i liked her so much or if i had fallen in love with her.. I had just met her two or three times personally before.. Have spoken to her over phone on a few occasions but nothing so intimate that i could end up getting swept off my feet.. All i got in return during my conversations was being called "The biggest flirt she'd ever encountered", which i personally don't think i am :)
But there was something about her.. Probably the fact that she was a malayali.. This factor according to me was the main culprit.. For the first time in my life.. I had thought about marriage.. I had seen a girl now in my life, whom i could probably go ahead and get married to. Never felt this feeling for anyone before her. I really dont know how to put it all together cos i am pretty sure i was never really in love with her, but i did want to marry her if that could be made a reality.
Eventually when i did tell her that i want to marry her, she just laughed it off as a joke :( I asked her not to jump the gun and get married immediately and pleaded to give me a year or two's time. But all i could hear at the other end of the phone is laughter. Nobody really takes me seriously when i tell them i like them, do they??
Those few moments together when i gave her a red rose, shared a glass of red wine and dedicated "Nothing's gonna change my love for u" for her will remain the most memorable moment i spent with her and the very last time i met her :)
And after a month or two i get a call from her telling she's getting married to this so and so malayali bugger from KERALA(somehow cant stand these kerala born and bought up malayali GUYS now settled in bangalore. Come on dude, bangalore gals just dont suit ur taste and lifestyle. When are u ever gonna realize that and start marrying gals from kerala??).
No i did not get depressed when i heard that. For a matter of fact it didnt even take a few days for me to get over her and move on in life. But i just could not take myself to go and attend her wedding and have to look at that damning sight of someone else in a position where you wanted to be in. But i made that clear to her when she invited me for her wedding. She thought i was acting cocky but when are these gals ever gonna understand that we guys too have a heart and that heart too has feelings ;)
So the first girl whom Sandy really thought about marrying will be officially someone else's wife today. So all the very best to the two of you and wishing you a happy married life(Honestly after feedback from all my dear and near ones i've come to the conclusion that he actually looks like your younger brother when both of u stand together or probably i am just jealous)
As they say, just before my last few moments in this world.. When my entire life flashes in front of me.. Among all the happiness and sorrow and family and friends and wife and kids and football and basketball and trophies and accolades and success and failures, there probably will be a split second where your image too flashes by.. But mind you.. Just a split second!
