That person whom I don't know looks young in age. He is in a pink colour kurta which has an elbow length sleeve and on that, he has a light pink colour coty and white colour pajama. He has a black thread band on his wrist on the right hand and he has a watch on the left hand. He has worn Mojadi on his legs. He is tall, handsome, and has a beard. He takes the mike and starts singing a song on the love of daughter and Father in the Gujarati language. Music is playing in the background on the stage by a music band. He sings beautifully and we all listen to it carefully. The lyrics of the song are amazing and Meera starts crying while listening to this song. I hug her and try to calm her down. I also cried while I was listening to that song and other people in the audience also had tears in their eyes. Me and Meera both cried and people who were trying to calm us also had tears in their eyes. Meera's father and mother are also crying.
Lyrics of that song are about when a girl goes to in-laws house she misses her home and the garth where she used to live at her father's home. How she as a child used to request her father to eat Roti made by her and how her father missed roti by hand and now couldn't find a test of that kind roti after travelling many places. How about being a child and playing a game to become a grown up and have the responsibility to change her life.How she complains about her father while living in the house that ' is that too hard to afford my meal' and her father tells her that 'Don't say that. It's not like that but you can't have a meal in this home your entire life'.
I don't know what is the exact reason that we all get emotional. We get emotional because of the lyrics of the song or because of his singing which forced us to feel the lyrics.
Tomorrow after the wedding Meera will leave the house and this song makes all of us feel the pain of a daughter who has to leave her own house.
After seeing all of us emotional he finished a song and told us that 'I love Meera and she is my dearest sister so I wanted to sing this song at her wedding. This song has amazing lyrics that show the love of father and daughter and that's the reason I choose this song to sing. I want to represent the love of father and daughter by singing this song. I want to change all the audience moods and especially Meera's mood and want a smile on her face so the next song is for you my dear Meera '
And he starts singing a second song. This time he sings one beautiful Bollywood dance song. Everyone's mood changes again and they smile and they all start enjoying music. Meera is now relaxed and enjoying the music. I'm happy because Meera is now happy. His performance ended and everyone clapped for him.
I'm not sure why I feel that his singing makes Meera cry or the feeling of leaving home tomorrow is the reason. And I'm also not sure about the reason for Meera's enjoyment of the song again because of his singing or his choice of song.
He tells us that he is Meera's brother. Meera is the daughter of my uncle. (My Mother's brother) I don't know anything about him, not even his name. I even saw him today in this Sangeet Ceremony and I didn't see him yesterday nor even him at Meera's home before her wedding when I came to her home.
He attracts my attention to his wonderful singing. I love his singing.
After his second song finished, my uncle again took the mic and announced that now please give a big round of applause for all the performances given by Meera's all brothers. He announced that the break is over now.
Again the singer on the stage starts singing and this time they sing a song for Ghoomar's performance. So me and Meera are the first to start Ghoomar, then other females join us.
After a few minutes, I again take a break for drinking water and I notice that the same beard guy comes with a sword in his hand with a smile and confidence on his face. By this moment I know that he has the skill to play with a sword.
So females who are doing Ghoomar stop when they get tired and again all sit on one side of the ground. Me and Meera sit together with our families.
On the centre of the ground that beard guy comes first and starts playing with a sword and then my brother joins him, then my other cousin brother joins them on the ground and music is playing in the background. They all do it very carefully and beautifully.
I observe that he plays with the sword very skillfully like he was doing it for many years and I am simply amazed by his talents.
Who is he? Who can answer this question? I can't ask this question to my auntie because their questions will make me feel dizzy. I can't ask my brother this because they would start giving me the advice to focus on my own business. I can't ask my uncle not to my parents also. Only Meera can answer my question without judging me so I will ask her.
He has made everyone emotional by his one song and by his next song he made everyone happy and danced to that song and now he entertains everyone by playing with the sword.
After a few minutes, they all stopped playing with a sword and everyone gave them a big round of applause.
Then we all start playing Timali to the beat of desi Gujarati songs, and then we all dance to Bollywood songs.
End of this ceremony is done by Ras on the Gujarati songs.
So finally the Sangeet Ceremony ends. It ends at 2 a.m at night. Music is now stopped. We all are now returning home. Me and Meera are the first ones to reach home from the ground while others are coming in a group doing gossip.
Today is an exhausting day for all of us but still, we all enjoyed it a lot.
My whole body is exhausted and still my mind does not stop thinking about him and it still has one question: 'Who is he?'
It's 2:30 a.m at night. My mind is still busy thinking about him. I didn't think about this much in my past for anyone and not for someone whom I don't know.I want to give him a compliment about his singing. I want to tell him that I love his singing and his performance tonight.He looks handsome and I usually like a guy with a beard and he looks more handsome in his beard. I usually don't get attracted by looks. I got attracted by a person's talent, intelligence and character.In this matter I know one thing for sure that I'm attracted by his talent more than his looks. He looks handsome, but His talent is the main factor that made me think about him because I don't know other factors about him. I feel like I'm interested to know more about him.When I overthink, no matter how hard I try to sleep, I can't sleep easily and tonight I am thinking too much about someone who doesn't even know me.&
After seeing Meera I think that she would take my side and get angry at him for shouting at me when we both are responsible for this thing.When she sees me like that she starts laughing and that guy has an expression of surprise on his face and I know why she is laughing but I'm not in the mood to laugh.Meera told him to calm down and meet her later after that he left that place.I then entered Meera's room. I'm frustrated and my morning mood has just gotten spoiled.I asked her to please stop laughing whenever I spill something on me or spoil the work. She first checks that I'm alright or not and then she used to just laugh and her smile makes me forget what I did.But this time my Kurti gets spoiled before the ceremony and someone is shouting at me not for my loss but for the fear that it doesn't affect their clothes.She gave me another dress s
In the kitchen, she drinks the juice and this time my mother give her juice and when she gets to know that what happened before she doesn't have any shocks expression on her face and she told only that "Thanks to God you didn't spoil Aarav's clothes because if you do that what will he wear" I was like what?? My own mother has to worry about his clothes more than mine. So I get irritated and told that " Mummy you're worrying about him instead of me and this time my clothes get spoiled not his and he needs to look around also because if he was careful this won't happen" and mummy told me that " Oh dear it's not new for me that your dress gets spoiled because of many things and you looks beautiful in Meera's clothes now and it's perfect feet on you. "I'm not in the mood to argue with my mother anymore so I completely shut my mouth and my mother exited the kitchen. She told Meera to hurry up because the first ceremony is about to start.
Meera sat on the chair under the Wedding Mandap and I sat beside her to take care of her and her look.All the relatives are seated surrounding the Wedding Mandap. Children are running from here to there, busy in playing and in their own worlds.Females are seated in the groups busy talking with each other.Males are seated in groups and busy talking with each other.My brother and other cousin brothers, uncles and my father are busy with arrangements.I looked around the Wedding Mandap but I couldn't find Aarav. I feel relaxed and relieved that now I don't need to ignore him.I hope I don't see him again today and he also won't find me and talk with me.I have to stay away from him tonight only then Tomorrow I have to go back to my home. I will get busy in my life again.My cousin sist
He tells me that" Hey, listen, just drink this water if you need it."And in my mind, it's like many thoughts are going on like why is he offering me water now and he is the same guy who gets angry with me in the morning. In the morning he was behaving like an angry jerk and right now he is giving me water like a gentleman who cares for me without even knowing me when I get busy in thinking about this he seat beside me before I again get lost in my thoughts he gives me a glass of water again and this time I just take that without thinking of other things and drinks that water.He starts saying " I'm not good at giving company to someone and especially in this kind of situation but I feel like I should sit here and talk with you. I hope that you don't mind it".His words are much different than I actually thought about him and I'm feeling lonely in the house full of people including my siblings because today is the day wh
In the last, He says to me that " Goodbye and I hope we will meet soon"After telling him that I go a little distance and shout "I'm coming Raj" Because I know him. If I don't give him a reply he will shout my name again and again.If I take a long time after telling him that I'm coming he will surely start searching for me. So before he came here I told Aarav 'Goodbye'.I told him that 'we will meet soon' but I'm not sure if we will meet or not. But his reply that I hope we will meet soon makes me think that he really hopes that we meet again. I pray that his hope will come true. He is not a bad guy but he gets angry too easily.I want to look at him one more time before leaving that place completely because I don't know if in the future we will talk or not. We will meet or not without thinking much. I looked at him and smiled. He is still looking at me and he also smiled.
I wake up little late in the morning when my mother wakes me up and after taking a bath I get dressed up in Black colour simple Kurti and red colour leggings and tied up my hair in a simple ponytail and when I come out of the room my mother is not inside the house and my siblings are doing their breakfast. So I take my seat beside Raj. Everyone is about to finish their breakfast. I wish everyone 'Good morning' and they wish me the same.When I take my coffee and breakfast in a plate and at that time everyone has finished their breakfast and about to stand up and I'm almost going to say that 'hey please someone stop and gives me company till I finish my breakfast' and I noticed that Aarav is coming towards the dining table where I was seated and he seat opposite me.My all cousins say me that " You're a late dear and our parents are in a hurry because we all have to leave so we have to go for doing the packing of bags before leaving from here
When I reached outside the house my mother and brother were busy putting bags in the car and I went near to the car and put my bag in the car. My father is busy talking with my uncle.I noticed that after our car Aarav stopped his car and his family was busy talking with aunty.I can't look at him more because many people are around us. So I went near where my father was standing and later my mother and brother joined us.We spoke about how well my uncle organized marriage in the village and my father looked at the watch and said that" I think now we should leave from here we are getting late and I have to go to my job in the afternoon shift so we have to hurry." and after saying this my father sat in the car.My mother, brother and I hugged my uncle, aunty and my cousins brother and sister and told them Goodbye.My father also waved from the car.
