Life at home...

I am at home happy as can be. I will be home for a month, take a nice long vacation and then new job and blah blah. Now for the hot hot news! A proposal had come and they - the guy and his parents - were coming home. That’s right, I went screaming out of the room (in my head) but I just smiled at my parents, let’s not scare them now shall we. Later I wailed to a few pals… they thought it was funny. It’s always funny when it happens to the other guy. Ha ha ha whatever!

So he came home, and no saree or salwar kameez! Plain jeans and shirt would do since wearing a Tee was a definite no no by mommy. There I was, sitting, smiling doing the grown up routine (vee would know what I am talking about here). Then it happened; we were to chat alone. Bleh bleh! So we did yap for like…two hours. No, this is not where you say “soul mates” and “ting”. After the first ten minutes… I was bored. I mean he was really nice and sweet but not the kinda guy I would wanna marry! Then why stretch the convo for two hours you ask? I thought dad would come and rescue me. Turns out that dad thought we were getting along just fine! Communication gap I tell you.

Finally, they left. I was confident I had scared him off… but guess what??? They called and said ‘yes’. They liked me. Panic attack!

After a huge fight and lots of crying my parents decided to say no. Turns out they were not very sure about the boy in the first place and I did all that drama for nothing. Like sitting on top of the hill and crying (coz I didn’t want mom to see me cry). Then my parents thought I had run away. Dad came back from work. Thank God I had my cell with me…I was pouring my heart out to AFJ. Then dad called all concerned saying he was just gonna inform the cops, and I climbed down and went home, and mommy was unhappy because I had left like that...kinda scared her and stuff. Finally they told me that they were not happy with the boy. Phew!

I am going for driving classes these days and it’s been great fun so far. Long time no see people… hope everything is going fine with the rest of you. Bye for now.
