How do you understand the feeling of love? How do you know you love someone? What will happen if I fall in love? How will I know I’m in love?…

Too many questions come to our mine when it comes to “LOVE”. Like others I had these questions in my mind too. And believe me, I loved love story movies. I loved those songs and dreamed of doing the same silly romance.

In my heart, I would say to myself, ‘some evening, I’ll sing a soft romantic song sitting right beside to my lover holding his warm hands.’

I was only 15. A young girl who would tell everyone, she would go for an arranged marriage but dreamed of falling in love secretly in her heart.

All the years I heard, ‘ love is powerful, once you fall in love you can’t resist it. Blah blah blah…’. But didn’t believe it.

At the age of 22, I told my heart, there was no place for love marriage. I have to marry the person my parents choose for me. They know better. They know what’s best for me. And till 25 my heart obeyed it.

I didn’t look straight to any guy fearing of liking him, I didn’t talk to the person second time who proposed. I didn’t dress-up fashionable cause I feared if someone would like me, I might not be able to reject him.

But what is intended, will always happen. And then something happened for which I was not prepared. I was not ready to believe it, accept it. I denied it so hard that I felt like stabbing my heart by myself.

I FALL IN LOVE…

I fall in love with most loving person. At the very beginning we were just friends. Gradually we started to share moments. We loved to hear each other. We took care of each other with so much affection that made us more closer to each other.

I loved his good morning messages, his saying about being safe, his concern for me attracted him more close. I always reminded him of his medicines, always asked him if he skipped his meal. Always wanted him to be safe just the way he wanted mine.

These tiny little things made me so crazy, that I was sure about him. Then I understood I was in love with him. I was madly in love with him. I wanted him like I’d die for him. I cried all day all night just to marry him. I prayed all the way I could just to have him. All I wanted was him.

Guess what? In the upcoming few days, it will be our first marriage anniversary. Our love for each other is still fresh just as it was 2 years before.

Now I know, what love is. Its a feeling that binds you with a special person. A person who will make you feel, you’re the only person he ever lived for. He’ll love you more than yourself. He’ll love you in your every form.

Always wait for the right person, no matter how long it takes. Just wait. Love will come to you at the right time in the right form. And when you find it, cherish it. It will make you feel beautiful.
