People usually believe that after so many struggles two lovers meet and end up getting married, that is what happily ever after. There can be different definitions according to different people and different stories. But my Happily ever after started after I got married. We both knew each other for 14 years. 14 years is a long time. We were not just strangers, we were engaged with each other. Our fathers were friends of each other and they turned their friendship into a relationship. No one asked me whether I wanted that engagement or not. I used to hate this relationship. I had never liked this alliance before we got married. I never felt that connection between us. He used to text me, I used to ignore. For me there were so many other things in life then just to get married. It's not that I never tried to accept him. At a certain point, I also thought that maybe I was overthinking about him and his family. I was a city girl and he belonged to a small town but then shifted to a city for his work. He had accepted me with all his heart. I was unable to accept him. I had literally prayed to God to prevent him from entering into my life. I couldn't tell my parents also because as a member of a noble family, we could not break our promises. Therefore, I used to manifest in front of the God that please do some magic and change everything. I don't want this relationship. None of my family knew how much I had cried every night and how heartbroken I was.
Only 1 year had left for my wedding, 13 long years had passed. Kudos to the man who was still engaged with me even after my ignorance. I used to believe that he also belonged to a noble family, that's why he was still with me, otherwise, he didn't love me either. But I was so wrong.
I had heard somewhere that when we are going to get birth in this world, destiny already decides who will be our life partner. After that, it doesn't matter how hard you try to get rid of that person, whether you want him/her or not, you will get married to the person who is written in your destiny for sure. I had also realized this fact that it doesn't matter how much I try, I have to do what's written in my destiny.
In the end, I gave up and persuaded myself to accept it with all my heart. And we went somewhere together for a photoshoot, where he held my hand for the first time, and that touch of him was so gentle as if he was telling me that don't worry, I'm there for you. He was not forcing himself on me, he was accepting me the way I was. At that moment, I felt something very beautiful for the first time. Every time, he was asking for my concern.
That man was already great, but the fault was in me. It was difficult for me to handle the situation, but it became very easy when I accepted. From that day, I truly started to believe that God actually has a greater plan for us. We sometimes don't recognize that gift. I felt like I wasted so much time crying for something useless. Everything was already fine. I was worrying for nothing. This experience always reminds me of a video in which a man was dancing like he was really very happy in whatever he had. With closed eyes he was having his moment peacefully. There was solace on his face and under that video a beautiful quote was written and that was,
‘Life when you start accepting instead of expecting.’
I was like, it literally goes with my life. I had a lot of problems when I was only expecting, but when I found no way and felt exhausted, I accepted everything the way it came in my life, and suddenly my life became beautiful! That day I realized that everything is in our mind, it’s our perspective which makes things beautiful or ugly, otherwise things are already beautiful, we make that difference of good or bad.
Afterwards, we finally got married. After we got married, his behaviour with me was so good that I can't even express it properly. Silently he used to take care of me, without any mention. The way he talked to me was so overwhelming. I was so emotional! I felt that do I even deserve him? Earlier I was unable to accept him, I had no reason to love him but now he gave me so many reasons to fall for him. And I actually fell for him so hard that a lifetime I want to keep his hand holding in all his ups and downs. I am so lucky to have him and he was so unlucky to have me, but it's enough, now I want to make his life beautiful even more than he thinks.
