So all this started when... okay the truth is that I have no idea when all this started, anyway the beginning is a spark of an idea in Rukku's mind. And I have no clue how things churned to this on that side. For me it started when I got a call from her after all these months. She asked for my full photo. Since the term full photo is totally associated with a marriage proposal, I didn't think twice to reject the same. But somehow she managed to get hold of it. As many other events of any other day, I forgot about it when the sun rose up high the next day.
Apparently a lot of things were happening on the other side.
I got shock when my father came down to India and while having breakfast revealed the real intention of his visit. After the initial shock I laughed, I thought he was kidding. He said the proposal was really ON. And their people wanted to meet me. And my mom would be coming down soon. I sat there processing the whole thing inside my head. I don't remember my reaction, whether I said a no or simply sat there, now I only remember my feeling. WHAT IN THE WHOLE WORLD IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE? Baps said he is gonna go there and meet them before they came down here. And again I simply sat there. Baps was going on and on how this is a very good proposal and we could trust this as it was brought by someone we know and care about.
That entire day the thought was boiling in my head. I saw all that I had planned coming down the hill. I had planned to not think about all this until 23, by that time I would be halfway doing my masters and then I would have an idea about what I am gonna do professionally. Then that night I got a call from Rukku, she asked me if Baps told me anything and if I had seen his picture. I said Baps told me the basic details.
That call kinda did half my decision making. I decided to let them come and go(for her sake and my parents). The truth was till she gave me a call I wasn't thinking about anything related to the groom or the family. I was simply thinking about the idea of me and being married. I don't think I can fully process the idea until I am actually married. She sent me a picture and asked if I like him. I laughed and said how can I like him without even meeting him.
The next day baps and bakerka (baps closest friend) went there. When he came back he was happy and said he liked the family and all. NOW, this freaked me out completely. This means it was happening. The infamous ritual of penukanal.
