She was getting engaged and all i could do was stand by and applaud along with all.
I didnt dare open my mouth for fear of saying something stupid like, "i love you".

I remember the other day when she had come to me with red eyes, her best friend was going away. It had never mattered to me that her best friend was a guy.I thought i was above such things. But her tears  awoked a sense of jealousy in my heart.Fighting it, i had consoled her and given her choclates to eat as i always did. She proceeded to rest her head in the crook of my arm and promptly felt asleep. I chuckled at her baby like innocence.

But now as i applauded i felt like someone stabbing in my heart.
She was getting married. I saw her come down the stairs decked out in her bridal
finery. Never had i seen her looking 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 to the departed.

Nevertheless as they touched my feet,i blessed them. She was crying, i told her not to worry and
that i would always be there.
She responded by hugging me and i could not stop the tears any more
