Being a wife was never an easy task, and it was not so in my
case as well. When I was in college, I never wanted to marry for the fear of
losing my freedom. I was having a ball in my life when I started realizing that
the pressure to get married was building up. Since I could not dodge the matter
for too long, I began meeting guys. It was utterly unexpected from me that I
would fall in love with someone so smoothly in no time. I met a person in a pub
in Delhi, who had come to meet me in Pajamas. I was awestruck to meet such a
person who would not care what people, especially a girl who might become his
bride, would think about him. He was least bothered with his clothes, but his
personality and speech spoke volumes about him.
Within half an hour, we both realized that we were heading
in the right direction. He also wanted an independent female who would not
depend too much on him or cling to him at all times. We found each other just
perfect for each other, and I knew from Day One that I do not need to pretend
anything in front of this person. He will let me be however I wanted and
support me in pursuing my desires.
One of the main things that I never wanted to leave after
marriage was travel. Roaming around in different cities and countries is my
favorite thing to do, and I still had a lot of things to accomplish on my
bucket list. After a week of talking to this amazing person I had met in my
favorite city, I told him about my wish list. I was not surprised when he said
to me that he also had such a similar record, and we shared many of the common
interests.
We did not have to convince each other too much to do the
matchless things we had thought of doing. He also wanted to live his
bachelorhood after marriage just like me, so we decided to live like singles
for the next 3-5 years. No doubt that he lived up to his words and he never
forced me to follow the orthodox traditions of Indian society. The first trip
was, of course, our honeymoon, when we went to Bali. The first naughty thing we
did was to steal food from someone else's table in a restaurant. Many other
such incidents happened when we fathomed that none of us had lost the freedom.
By getting married, we had just found a stable life partner in each other.
