I had a very beautiful childhood with loving parents and a troublesome but a very caring brother which I understood only when I grew up, until then like any other sister I used to complain about my brother to my parents and they would end up scolding him for the only mistake that he was born a year before me. Anyway, that is a temporary problem which every eldest child must tackle in the society, I am sure everyone would agree with me.

My mother used to believe in horoscope and used to visit them regularly, during one such encounter a fortune teller quoted that “your daughter will go out of your hands, please take care of her, especially her marriage, she may not have good life”.

My mother though got little disturbed hearing this, she started laughing after a while and said these things will never happen, “my daughter is very obedient, she will marry only a person whom I ask her to”. This incident happened when I was 13 years old, I found it very funny and forgot all about it. After 8 years I finished my college and I started working. While working I met the love of my life, it was love at first sight. I did not realize it in the beginning, we were friends for 2 years and then one day he proposed, and I accepted without a second thought. It was like god was asking me to just say yes. I am from a very conservative family and my husband’s family were not, so they readily accepted our relationship. 

It was a very hard time when I broke this news to my family, they like any other parents kept me under quarantine, just that it was house quarantine, it was a great chaos for at least a month or so and I had also sent an email(which I somehow sneaked out and managed to send from an internet centre) to my husband asking him to forget me and take care of his life. I said this half-heartedly, I did not know to persuade my parents, this went on for a while. I got a job in Bangalore and looking at my gloomy face, they let me go believing that I would not contact him again. After I joined the new office, I contacted my husband and you know what he did, he left the biggest offer that he got and joined a smaller company in the city that I was working in. He did not want to leave me at any cost. That is the day when I promised myself that I will always be by his side.

I was not sure about his finances, but I was sure about the love that I am going to get from him, after lot of struggles we got married and are living happily together with 2 beautiful children. I always wanted a loving husband who would take care of me very well, I did not have any other dreams at all, Yes I am living my dream, Thank you god for giving me this miracle life. Now, all of us are happy, me, my husband, my children & my parents, and the most important thing was the fortune teller was wrong!!! So, I believe in god more than anything else in this world, as many miracles are still happening in my life.
