Maya's Pov:
Life is always unpredictable; we never know what will happen next. I've never planned my future this way; the dreams I've seen, the hopes I've built, the hard work I've done all these years—everything seems to be shattering for me. But that is what life is, right? While we are busy making other plans, something else happens.
Getting into a relationship is the last thing I've thought about, but see here, I'm going to get engaged in a few hours, and I'm not feeling any emotions in me. I don't know whether I should be happy because I'm getting married to the person I love or sad because this is not what I've planned. I know I should get married one day or another, but I'm afraid what if things go wrong?
I always had a crush on Avi, but as the years passed, my feelings for him grew stronger. Whenever we met, I always felt a strong pull toward him. I couldn't help but fall deeply in love with him. But I didn't have enough courage to tell him the same. So, I've just buried my feelings for him deep down in my heart.
Nothing is the same with the years passing by; I have lost myself somewhere in the clutches of the past. I've been shutting myself away from everyone, including my family, all these years. If it was back then, I could have just jumped for joy with this alliance, but now all I feel is emptiness. Letting him into my world, which is nothing but empty and dark, seems impossible for me.
He knows that I'm not ready for this big step, but he doesn't want to let me go. I remember what he said the last time we met: "I know my Bunny is not ready for the marriage, but do you think I will sit and see when someone comes and asks for your hand and takes you away from me? That's not possible, Bunny. So just prepare yourself for this marriage." I don't want him to enter this darkness. He deserves much better than me, but he won't listen to me. Such a stubborn man he is.
But, am I ready for this big step? A girl's whole world will change after her marriage. She has to go to a new house where she doesn't know anything about the people living there. But, in my case, I'm lucky, as I knew them from the time I started to see the world. But somewhere, I'm not content with the things happening in my life. Will I be able to give him the happiness he deserves? Oh God! Why is it so complicated?
I sighed and took a deep breath, trying to clear all those thoughts from my mind. I looked through the window of my room, towards the horizon. It's getting dusk. The sun is casting long shadows and splashing vibrant colours across the sky. It's looking breathtaking with the mix of orange and red hues. I always believe sunsets have healing power; they make us believe that endings can sometimes be beautiful too.
I looked down in the garden; there is a hustle-bustle going on there as the engagement is going to take place there.
I just hope that everything goes well. Today is an important day for me, him, and for us, and I don't want anything bad to happen. Let's see what destiny has sorted out for us.
Maybe it has planned something beautiful for me.
Keep smiling and take care ❤
