Sacrifices

It was now the 12th of January,

I didn't know why they choose this date; this was the exact date when I attempted to take my life.

I still remember that date.

It's been 7 years since that horrible night when I tried to take my life. I thought my family had forgotten about that.

I was looking like a princess in my deep red colored wedding dress, wearing beautiful bangles. I was wearing high heels. My makeup was so perfect.

Everyone was praising me and my beauty.

I was happy to see my parents and family celebrating but I was not happy inside.

It's time for my wedding, they took me downstairs, I was walking on a ramp, the spotlight was on me.

There was a light net curtain between my groom and me.

I was about to marry a person whom I didn't even know.

I was a bit nervous but I was so shocked when I heard.....

I heard the voice of my marriage officiant:

'' Ms. Meesha khan, do you accept Mr. Sol as your wedding partner?''

When I heard Sol's name, I raised my eyes toward him to confirm was that Sol.

It was Sol, I had been praying for 5 years not to see him again in my life.

I was shocked to see him as my groom,

The priest again said,

'' Ms. Meesha khan, do you accept Mr. Sol as your wedding partner?''

I felt so unreal at that time.

I remembered all those prayers I made to get him in my early university days, and

I also remembered the prayers; I made not see him again.

The wedding officiant again repeated those words,

My father and brothers came to me and ask what happened.

I was so worried because they didn't know his real face,

They did not know what he said to me during my bedridden time.

I looked at my mother and father, they were so happy,

I didn't want to hurt them again.

All of them were so happy and I didn't want to ruin their happiness.

All family and friends were there,

I was so numb at that time.

The priest again said with a little bit of furry in his voice

''MS MEESHA!! DO YOU ACCEPT SOL AS YOUR WEDDING PARTNER?''

I did not want to create any drama for my family.

I sighed.... and replied

"I DO

I DO

I DO"
