Gurdeep
I went numb reading this letter which my fiancé once wrote. What a coward he was that he could not even come once and tell me that he cannot marry me. I know m not perfect for him or for anyone but still. Now I'm standing here waiting to get married. It's a shame for our family members now. For his as their son never appeared on the day of marriage and mine as my fiancé left me. What am I going to do?
Let me introduce myself first. Hi my name is Ashjeet of 26 years old. I like to read, dance and sing. My favorite instrument is guitar which I play. I belong to India but around 10 years ago we shifted to New York. I have completed my CA and doing job. I was getting married according to my parents which means arranged marriage. But now NO. My dear fiancé rejected me. How could he. I trusted him more than anyone and he played with me and my feelings.
"Ashy you need to calm yourself" Lexi, my best friend, told me.
"Dear we are so sorry. None of us knew he would do this to you but we don't want you to be sad. Amrita and Ishdeep can I talk with you for a moment" Dilpreet aunt, Gurdeep's mother told me. And the trio went to another room. Amrita and Ishdeep are my parents.
I was crying whole time and just needed to go to washroom and use my partner, my RAZOR.
"Ashjeet we have decided something. Regarding you." My mom told me.
"You know it's a tough time for all of us but please understand us. We want you to marry Rabdeep. He is a good guy and will keep you happy"dilpreet aunt suggested or moreover told me her decision.
Many of you must be thinking who Rabdeep is. He is my brother's best friend. I have seen him many times; his sister is my good friend. I have known him for quite good number of years. He is presently a doctor of 29 years.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked dad, hoping he will understand me but it went in vain when he shook his head in a no.
"Ok I'm ready" I told them.
After around 30 minutes my mom came and took me downstairs for marriage. It was a total blur. Soon it was declared that m married. We i.e. me and Rabdeep took blessings from our elders and I bid my bye to everyone as I was to leave my house and go to my in-laws now.
We sat in a car and moved to our in-laws. Car ride was silent. None of us were talking to each other. Once we reached his home, we were welcomed by his mom, dad and sister. There were few more relatives but that was done in a hurry but what can I expect.
We did few rituals and then my mother in law introduced me to few guests who were important.
"Dear, you must be tired here you should go and take rest. We can do other things in morning. Good night sweety" Avneet, my mother in law told me. She even ushered Bani, her daughter and my good friend to lead me to my room.
"Ashy don't stress out please. I have known you for quite a time now. Go and sleep. And please don't do anything that I will have to let my brother know" Bani told me.
"I will try. Good night" I told her.
Bani know about my cutting thing. She is the first and last person who knows about it. I never told anyone and nor did she. But now I won't tell her.
