The headache was unbearable. A splitting one was what I would call that. The cause?Thinking or was it overthinking? Yes, I was in a dilemma. Should I say 'yes' to him or should I say 'No'? Full story in caption The headache was unbearable. A splitting one was what I would call that. The cause?Thinking or was it overthinking? Yes, I was in a dilemma. Should I say 'yes' to him or not? The 'him' here being my classmate from school Ajith. We had been the best of friends from school through college. Both of us were working in different companies. Now, as adults our respective parents were pressurising our respective selves about marriage. Me because I was 25 and a girl and it's considered 'too old' to wait longer. He, because his grandmother was not keeping well and wished to witness her grandson's marriage before anything happened to her. Now, out of the blue, Ajith proposed to me saying he couldn't imagine a better person as his life partner. The more he thought about me getting married to somebody else, the more he was convinced that he had taken the right decision. That exactly was the cause of my headache. If I said 'No' would I regret later? After all he has been with me through thick and thin. He understands me perfectly well including my tantrums and mood swings. Fortunately the question of 'caste difference' didn't arise for our families to oppose. Everything was in our favour. Come to think of it most requirements matched. Isn't it better to get married to your best friend than to a stranger who knows nothing about you. Was that a gamble I was willing to take? The pros and cons playing on my mind, I drifted off to sleep at one point thankfully. I woke up the next day and was totally confused. Was it just a dream? Did I get a headache in the dream or outside of it. I laughed sheepishly at myself. It was merely a dream. Maybe I was watching too many movies and romcoms during lockdown. #yqbaba#yostowrimo8#headachestory#story#YoStoWriMo
