THE PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE


Mar8,2006 probably the most happiest day in my life till now. Many may wonder why? To start with, this is the day I was waiting for or I should say we were waiting for, me and my love.
It had been a very tensed atmosphere that morning at home. Mom came to know about him. No one spoke to me after that. I was scared, I started to cry. But suddenly stopped. "Why should I cry?" I thought. Is it a crime to be in love? Surely not. When I can love then, I can surely fight for it. This thought gave me strength, a strength I have never known that I possessed. I called him.
"Hello," I said
"Hai," he replied
"Mum knows about us." i said.
"What? What did she say?" he asked.
"Nothing. She dint talk." i said.
"Talk to her and convince her. I'll meet her if i have to." he said.
This put more confidence in me.
"Yes. I will talk to her. Don't worry. Bye." i said and i hung the phone.
I sat in my room waiting for the clock to strike six. My mum generally comes home at six.
Then atlast, after what seemed like ages, the clock struck six, mum din't come. Seven. She dint turn up. Then I remembered it was Women's day. There was some function at her office. She came home at 9, with her brother. They sat chatting. I sat waiting for a chance to speak with her. By the time everyone moved into their rooms it was 12, only when i had a chance to speak with her.

I went to her with sparkling courage in my eyes.

"Mama," I called.
"What is it?" she replied.
"I need to talk to you." i said with a firm approach.
"Even I need to talk to you." she said
She sat beside me and the question and answer round had begun. After half an hour, she seemed positive and I had a hard work fighting back my happiness(which was clearly visible on my face), however i tried to have a stern expression on my face.
" We will check both your horoscopes.If they match then it's ok otherwise.....99% we will not reject but 1% you must understand." she concluded.
"OK."I said with out any expression on my face.
She turned to leave.
"Mama," I called
"Hmm?" She looked back with a curious look.
"I love him a lot." I said( It was a bit shocking to hear such a thing being spoken infront of my mum...).
She left without a word, to my dad. I waited patiently, praying.
After sometime she came out.
"What did dad say?" I asked hopefully.
"He is a bit worried. But he said the same thing, horoscopes and wait till your sister's marriage, until then just be careful. "
"Sure mum." I answered gladly.
I immediately called him and told him the exactly what had happened. Our happiness knew no bounds.
But we still have another test to go through, the horoscopes...
Acceptance it is, though it be partial. We have done our job, the rest we leave it to god. Everything is in his hands now. All we can do is have our trust in him.
