I have waited my entire life for the moment when I would meet Hamir. It was like a dream that came to life. ¨Have you seen him?¨ I asked Dadi one day. Hamir is brave, noble and strong. I can wait to get married and live my entire life with him. My sister, Shabanu always was different than me. She always had to insert her opinion than sitting there and being quiet like she was supposed to do. Some days I wish I was as brave as her. Others I wish she wouldn’t talk. She tests dad’s patience and it scares me. Somedays I think he will strike her. Well, let’s not dwell on the bad.
Dessert is especially beautiful at night and I love sitting outside to wait for the sunset. It might be the same sky that I see every night but when my husband to be is so close it feels different. I must go to bed but I just can’t wait until I can spend my life with Hamir. Goodnight.
