Emotional, Magical, and Powerful!! Marriage! The white light shone on her face with every whirl of her Sufi movement. She was excited yet unbothered by the Sufi dancer maneuvering around.. dancing to the tunes of her new soul. Her hands gracefully caught in his, with series of chanting from the relatives and dear ones around. It was shaping to be one of the anxious and hardest days for her, over-analyzing each emotion and worried how all this will change her life in a jiffy.
Sometimes her nervousness felt like the cork being pushed, splashing out the entire wine all around but the very next moment her confidence felt like it’s a beautiful gown just got ironed out from a clothing presser. These moments alternated with layers of confusion and panic sandwiched around.
The moment where all her joy, humor singing, and dancing took a step back, with mixed emotions venting out. The pampering of her mother, unconditional love of her father, and love-hate relationship with her siblings, all went through a flashback. Her mascara spread unevenly, with lips biting and steaks on her beautiful face appeared. Tears rolling down through each one of them as she took a step forward by bidding adieu to her parents and dear ones around.
This journey took her a step, not away but closer to both her families; the one which she would be nurturing through her love and understanding and the one whose values she would be honing the entire breadth of her life.
