Deception and Healing.
I can’t believe it, the bastard just called off the wedding. The gifts bestowed on him by my family weren’t enough! I put my foot down and absolutely refused to ask my family for anymore. It’s something I never wanted in a man and I didn’t think that he could turn out this way. My family wants to sort it out but I’m done. Why now, why me, why why why. What have I done to deserve this? I want answers but I know I won’t get them. Right now I’m locked up in my room refusing to leave. I won’t eat and I can’t sleep. All I can do is cry and blogging helps to take my mind off what happened. Weirdly.
My family is devastated and can’t understand what has happened. They want to talk to me but I’m refusing to speak to them. I’ve been thinking about it for a few hours now and I’ve decided that I’m not doing this whole arranged marriage thing anymore. I’m going to go out and live my own life. I just booked tickets to Goa leaving tomorrow. I need to get away from everything here. I can’t stand it anymore. My bags are packed.
Let me start at the beginning. I was almost ready. My sister was putting the final touches to my makeup and mum had gone to get her jewellery set from the vault when there was a knock on my door. I was instantly filled with dread and had a feeling that something was wrong. My sister opened the door, and there he was, looking torn and distressed. He asked to speak to me privately and entered the room. He said that Papaji wasn’t happy that all he got was a car, a Honda Euro Accord no less, and that he was expecting more than that. By this time I know what it was really about. Dowry, really…? I don’t think so. I also know that his mom had put him up to this. I never liked that woman. I know my parents put aside more jewellery that I was supposed to take with me, but I wasn’t going to tell him that now. I already knew it was over and that we wouldn’t be together. He left and I’ve locked myself up in here since then, refusing to leave or let anyone in.
I decided to call my sister and she should be here any minute with the Ice cream I made myself last night for the wedding. I was to eat it with Suraj on our wedding night. I also asked her to get White Cherries as well, so I can add them to my ice cream for deception as well as some saffron for healing my broken heart.
Tomorrow morning I will be off to Goa to live my own dream and do as I please. I hope my parents understand but this is not the life for me. I am better than any man out there and I can take care of myself. I will see the world and one day I will have my own restaurants. I will be free. Spices stay with me. Help me rise and find new discoveries!
