Thursday

Invitation




"Why should this ever happen to me…why?” he gasped. He wished he was brought up in a different city or had studied in a different college or at least a different section or stream.” If only I had...,” he sighed. Then whatever has to happen, does happen, it is inevitable.

He restlessly moved from one corner of the apartment to the other, occasionally glancing at the invitation card lying on the center table. Though she had invited him, yet he had sensed her reluctance in doing so. He knew that she was requesting for his absence on the day and right now, he was obliging what she had left unexpressed.

"Why did I ever love her?” he asked himself. "Love has no reasons, if at all it has any, it is not true love...” he had read somewhere. However, nothing was able to pacify the storm raging in his mind. Over the years, he had worked hard to prove himself worthy of her hand and was succeeding in his efforts. His love for her had positively transformed him. He found himself as a better person each passing day, after all is not each man his own best judge? She had remained adamant on being averse to any relationship with him and today she was getting married. He looked at his watch, only few minutes were remaining for the couple to take vows.
