I was stressed out but managed to stepped inside the ceremony. Many of our relatives were invited and I was continuously thinking about my parents because if anything went wrong, our prestige and reputation would be insanely damaged.
"Hello Mom" I said it with a smile , managed to hide my fear inside a gentle smile.
"Hi baby, how are you ? I'm happy to have you here , let's meet everyone" Mom hugged me and suggested to meet others.
We met almost everyone in the ceremony and then also I didn't find his sister, thats why I was glad Raj's sister was not there.
"Hi dear how are you?" I heard it from the back , me and my Mom turned back to know who was greeting us. All of a sudden I was freezed because its non other than Raj's sister who greeted us.
"Oh ! Hi dear , we are good , how are you?" My Mom replied to her but I stayed mum. Then my Mom looked at me strangely with little bit anger in her eyes as I was not greeting her well.
"Hi dear sister , how are you?" I asked quickly.
"Everything is going well and how's your studies?" she queried.
"Fine "I replied shortly. Then she talked to my Mom for some minutes , then she asked to leave us and meet others in that ceremony.
"Glad to meet you dear"I added.
She smiled and walk away , I genuinely didn't feel any change in her behaviour. "Now it could be two things either she is a good actress who knows how to control her own anger and showed a fake smile or she didn't know anything about us and Raj was ultimately lying to me" this thought confused me after I met her .
During the ceremony, Raj arrived at the venue and I was completely shocked to saw him there.
My Mom saw Raj and started talking to him as he was her son, I kept staring at Raj without uttering a word .My Mom again felt awkward because of my behaviour towards Raj and asked me to greet him .
"sweetheart, didn't you know how to greet your elders?" she questioned roughly.
I left them without answering to my Mom because thats not easy for me to greet my own love as a stranger. I stayed in a corner alone and started gazing at Raj .
At that time many thoughts waved in my mind making a joyful song of our past memories.
"He is there in my laughing, and in my crying.Is there anything left for me to go crazy?" I asked my inner voice.
"Why everytime when he meet , the same magic repeats itself,everything inside me gets better , why?"I repeatedly questioned myself. "You are going crazy, did you realise that ,within a moment, you have created so many new memories, you are laughing so much that your eyes get teary " ( MY INNER VOICE) noted.
"You know right what happened those days , my eyes had no time those days,all my day went in looking at him and then, when he touched me slowly and passed, my heart slowly melts in his flame , so how could I control myself from not being crazy for him ? I still love him" I said to my inner voice.
"But you have to control yourself because you are no more in a relationship and now you are in a ceremony with your parents, did you forget that ?" (MY INNER VOICE) advised me and made me alert.
At the mean time, his sister came near me and asked me.
"Did you like Raj ?" she asked.
