My Sister's Wedding!!!!!!!


It was 4:30Pm ,12th July,i got a call from my eldest bro while i was sleeping.he woke me up saying that TIKI's(my sister) wedding is tomorrow and you have to come as soon as possible.i got shocked and asked what the...........He just told me to come to home soon and we'll talk about that. my train was 5:30 Pm ,so i got ready and caught the train and reached home at about 10 o'clock in the night.when i arrived home,i just noticed everything was set for the marriage and the groom's family was coming to home for a small meeting just for formality and to get the engagement done.i asked everyone whats going on and what does it need to do it so soon?but my mom and dad gave no reply and my eldest bro just told me that everything has been decided and the marriage is tomorrow and dont ask me anything else.what i know from my sister is that my mom and dad has decided all this and they want this marriage to happen as soon as possible.when i asked mom ,she didnt reply me anything just telling me to shut up.my family has 7 members including me. we three(me,sis and my elder bro) was on one side and on the other side there was my mom,dad and eldest bro.we were opposing the marriage and the other side was supporting for the maarigae.Actually when i saw the photo of the Guy ,i didnt like him ,he was looking like a typical village hero and my sis even didnt like him , and my elder bro didnt
want the marriage to happen like this in a hurry.he was not against the groom but he was against the way the marriage was going to be happened that in a hurry. but i wanted my sis to get married to a handsome guy and in atleast a higher middle class family ,though my sis looks a little fat and doesnt look that good. nothing was according to my choice.the groom's family is just middle class where his father is a headmaster of a school and the guy is working in Mumbai in Visha Retailing Ltd as an accountant incharge of salry just 10,000 rupees. i was completely against the marriage so was my sis.but none was listening to us.Actually the thing was that there was no tithi(the better astological date) for marriage for next 4 month and the groom's family wanted the marriage to happen as soon as possible anyhow.so my parents agreed on their decission as they didnt want to miss this good rista(relationship)
At about 1:30am in night ,the groom's family reached our home and met my sis and had some traditional typical question answer round.then they gave a ring to my sis getting pleased with ehr answers and then the engagement. and finally the marriage was decided to be taken place at a temple near our village 15km away from both of our village(groom's village and that of us).at about 4 o'clock they left our home and everyone in our home just got themsleves busy in arranging things for the marriage like hirirng cars,listing the things required for marriage and sarees etc etc. At about 8o'clock morning we all left for the temple with two cars,and three bikes .it was 140 km away from the paradeep.we reached there at about 2 o'clock afternoon and the groom family reached there at about 4:30 o'clock and the marriage started at the moment they arrived.everything was all set. it took almost 3 hour to get the marriage finished.At about 8 o'clock the marriage finished.i did all the traditional marriage work what a brother of the bride should do. trust me i cried a lot that day but i was trying to control myself because i wanted my sis not to cry a lot.after a long time i cried. she was the only sister of mine and i loved her so much.she was the only one who used to talk to me a lot in my family,she was telling me everything happened in family in my absence.we used to fight a lot in childhood. i will really miss her.....after sending her to her in-laws house,we returned to our home at baout 8 o'clock.we reached home at 2 o'clock.i was feeling so tired that i just fell asleep after a few minnutes laying on bed.the next day it was a busy house with the rest traditional marriage works on everyones head. the listing of things to be sent to the groom's family was going on at a high speed and discussion was also going on what will be the best and where these things should be bought from.
i also helped my family members to decide on these things. as i had work on my training project ,i had to come back to bhubaneswar.i will again visit my home very soon probably this saturday for "Ashtamangala".
