Got this story as a forward. It is just amazing and I wanted to share it. It starts from next paragraph.
She was getting engaged and all I could do was stand by and applaud along with all. I didn’t dare open my mouth for the fear of saying something stupid, something like “I Love You”.
I remembered the other day when she had come to me with red eyes. Her ‘best friend’ was going away. It had never bothered me that her best friend was a guy. I thought I was above such things, but her tears awoke the sin of jealousy in my heart. Fighting it, I had consoled her and given her chocolates to eat. She proceeded to rest her head in the crook of my arm and promptly fell asleep. I chuckled at her baby like innocence.But now, as I applauded, I felt something stabbing at my heart.
She was getting married.
I saw her come down the stairs decked up in her bridal finery. Never had i seen her this pretty. I saw her taking the seven rounds around the sacred fire with the man I had come to hate, holding his hand. I saw her exchanging garlands with him.
She was a total stranger to me now.
I was standing near the car when they both came over to me. I wondered what they wanted. I wondered how to say farewell when they departed, nevertheless as they touched my feet, I blessed them. She was openly crying. I told her not to worry and that I’ll always be there for her. She responded by hugging me and I was not able to stop my tears anymore.
Wish you a happy married life my dear daughter.
