Marriages Are Made In Heaven

by Neethu

This is not a made up story , it is the story of my from the age of 18 years ,to now,
In our culture , the parents always had arranged marriages for their children, but I was just a rebel in that case ,
I never listened to my parents , I always wanted what I want, and that’s how I learnt the hard way ,
I just finished school, and there goes my dad, asking people at social functions `to arrange a boy for me`

That used to irritate the hell out of me, so I just wanted to get out from that environment, so I started looking for my own choice,
And that’s when I got fooled, I worked for a Collections Agency , and I used to call upon clients to get their money arrangements for their accounts,
When I called this one guy ,he was the Manager of the person who I was trying to get hold off, and he sounded charming, adorable, everything a girl wants hear ,his name was Kevin, he had a great job, and when he sent me his photo , he looked fabulous as well,
So we started meeting each other and got to know each quite well, it was as if I loved him so much to an extent that I lied to my family , he wasn’t my religion, he was the opposition, and that just thrilled me,

We started bunking work and spending time together at the beach,
When my dad comes with news that there`s someone interested in me and that he is coming to see me, so I informed Kevin about it, and he said that he would come home and visit my family , and arrange for us to get married, so I was the happiest of all,

I told my dad about my relationship with Kevin, and he was utterly disgusted, he nearly have a heart attack,
What was I to do, I loved my parents but I also loved Kevin,
So with due time, my dad has accepted Kevin, and asked that he come to visit,

Since we stayed like oceans apart , so he had to stay at a hotel when he came down,
He came home, and although my parents didn’t like him, they accepted him to make me happy,
But my mum did tell me, that ` sweetie, u know we love u , and we want u to be happy, and if he makes u happy then we will accept him but we do not approve of him;’

And so with that confirmed , I was on top of the world , when Kevin`s parents called me to their house, and said that it wasn’t
