Marriage- Union of two hearts filled with Luv

Like all others even Aravind had no idea until he met Arthi in his life. Aravind an engineering graduate never gave much importance to the fact of marriage in his life.
He fared well in his engineering that he got a very good job through campus recruitment. But he had to go through loads of tough times to reach this level. It’s now nearly 6 years since he started working and is now a network administrator. This is his dream job, where he wanted to work and come up in life. He had to go thru a tough periods to reach this position; his dream job. He was one of the youngest network engineers to have reached this position. He is a wonderful team member people always loved to be in his team.
He is the only son to his parents. After his sister’s marriage when he was settled with a good job his parents wanted to do his marriage. But Aravind wasn’t of normal kind wanted to achieve his dream of becoming a network administrator and was dead against marriage till he achieves his dream. He convinced his parents saying they can proceed when he reaches his goal.
Now he has the dream he wanted to come true has come. It was a week since he got this designation and was so excited and contented. His parents as per his decision started looking out for a bride for him. The process was going on in fast pace. He had no clue as what was going to happen who it was to be. He was so occupied with is work for so many years that he literally forgot the fact of a life partner a family of his own. Now its time he has to think of it but he didn’t know whether he was prepared for it or not. But was pretty sure he had no other go and can’t drag this marriage concept any more as his parents wont listen to him any more. Out of compulsion of thoughts he started thinking about his life partner but was too confused as the only thing bothered him was will the girl understand him. Thoughts about life partner led him far from where he was he started to dream loads. At a point he started feeling like it should be more of a love marriage rather than an arranged marriage. But he feared telling this to his parents. Not because they will be dead against love marriage but because he felt too shy and didn’t know how he will go tell them. Actually his parents were open to anything they just wanted their son to be happily settled with a family. Still something stopped Aravind from discussing about his views to his parents. Nearly 2 weeks passed by and look out for a bride for him was done with first step of horoscope matching. His parents where discussing mostly about this day and night.
This raised a kind of excitement and fear in Aravind about his life and life partner. His inner heart wanted to know who it will be as by that time he was almost living in his dreams. He didn’t know whom to discuss this with. He wanted someone to share his feelings. He wanted to see his life partner.
Dreams about his marriage filled in his time. He wasn’t able to do his work. One of his close friend who was married understood it and asked him “Excited is it? Hmmm you must be. All the best” the more he dreamt the more he feared his life. There was always one thought “How will I know my dream girl?”
It was morning and when he was about to start to office he was tying his shoe laces sitting in the sofa. Then he sees a card lying on the floor. He picks it up to see a photo of a girl. She was very cute and was smiling. Aravind ignored it and left for office. Though he had ignored his mind kept reminding of the girl’s face he got so disturbed and wanted to ask his parents; but how. He tried to think of some reasons but he couldn’t.
When he made up some reason he dialed his home number to speak to his mom. Before he could say anything his mom told him “ Aravind unakku oru ponnu pathirukkom, ava romba azhaga irukka, engalukku avanga familyum pidichirukku naanga proceed pannalamnu irukkom”. He didn’t know what to say…He didn’t even feel like asking his mom who is she or what is she doing. He just replied “HMMM” even his mom never gave any detail beyond that. After the phone conversation he was not normal. Something troubled him is that the marriage talk or the girl. But he thought I made up my mind for marriage then what is that troubling me. He questioned himself and found out there was one thought which was troubling him the GIRL. He has never seen her. He doesn’t know who she is then why. Questions popped up in his mind but only answer he got is he liked her. Aravind never believed love at first sight but now he felt may be this is love at first sight. Something in his inner heart told him he wants to marry her. He felt some intimacy within himself thinking about her. He knows nothing about the girl still his mind wanted her.
Aravind couldn’t stop his dreams and thoughts about the girl he wanted to make them all come true. He started back home. While driving back home he kept rehearsing how he is going to speak to his mom about his views. At last he reached home. Today the journey from office seemed to last for hours for him though it was just 20minutes. Back at home he saw his dad watching TV and mom seriously cooking in the kitchen. Aravind always felt more comfortable speaking to his mom. So he decided and went into the kitchen to speak his mom. Seeing him his mom asked if he wants to have something and how was office. The conversation goes by but every time Aravind tried to tell he finds himself unable to. Then he returned to his room to refresh. His mind kept thinking about his marriage and wanted to know who that girl was. He came into the hall and searched for a while if he could find the photo of the girl but his bad luck it was not there.
Seeing him being restless his mom asked him what was wrong but Aravind dint know how to open up the talk. He wanted to speak but something kept troubling him. It was dinner time and they were all seated in the dining table that’s when his mom started speaking about his marriage and about the tentative date of marriage. They wanted him to ask something about his marriage but they didn’t know he wanted to but wasn’t able to. Mom then opened up the topic about the bride what she is and what’s her qualification and all. Aravind showed no reactions towards their talks. He just wanted that photo girl.
Then his mom gave him a photo and asked him to look at. Oh my god it was her; the girl who troubled her from the morning. He was feeling so happy he smiled like ever. He didn’t know what to do that he got up from his seat and hugged his parents and said “Thank you so much”. His parents had no clue why he is reacting like this suddenly. That’s when Aravind explained them all that. His mom after hearing all this just said “Enga kitta kekka unakku enna da avalo vekkam huh….. Un sathosham than engalluku venum… “ he didn’t know what to say further. He was so proud that his parents had found the girl of his choice. Later that night he couldn’t sleep that he went and woke his mom and started asking some questions about the girl. Then only he came to know the girl’s name to be “Arthi”. He felt beautiful name Arthi, my own Arthi……thoughts really were flowing inside him. His mom didn’t know what to say. She was so happy to see his son being so romantic.
