What is the point?
Your parents send you a number
"Talk to her", they say
"It is time you got serious about getting married"
and you think to yourself
"She's not gonna like me at the end"
so, what's the point?
Next day, you get a call from the same number
"My parents asked me to talk to you", she says
and then opens herself up to you
like a never ending book
and you think to yourself
"She's probably always like this"
so, what's the point?
Now you've decided to do a video call
"You're late and you don't get a lot of chances with me", she says
and you spend the next three hours
talking to her who is instantly feeling comfortable with you
and you think to yourself
"She doesn't really like my sense of humor"
so, what's the point?
Now you're being pushed into meeting this girl
because your parents like planning your life for you
"It would've been better if we'd met before everyone meets"
she agrees with you when you least expected it
and you think to yourself
"Well, maybe she just wants to make me feel better about it"
so, what's the point?
Now you're at The Cheesecake Factory
your favorite place and your favorite dessert
"I remembered you liked cheesecake a lot", she says
which makes you feel like someone cares
and you think to yourself
"Maybe she's making me feel welcome"
so, what's the point?
Now you're talking to your parents about a situation
"We should have thought about this before coming to Boston"
they say and it makes you feel miserable about yourself
but you meet her at the end of that day
and she ignores everything and is ready to fight for you
and you think to yourself
"It doesn't seem like my parents will agree"
so, what's the point?
Now things look a little resolved
she's walking with you to the Charles river
"This is one of my favorite places", she says
and it feels nice talking to her
and it feels nice listening to her talk
and you think to yourself
"This changed too quickly to be true"
so, what's the point?
Now she's telling you that something is up
"I have never felt this way before", she says,
"I feel more relaxed around you"
"I wake up and feel less anxious because of you"
and you think to yourself
"It feels more like infatuation"
so, what's the point?
Next day you have a conversation with your parents
"It still bothers us", they look very concerned
"We want you to logically evaluate this"
"You will find someone else, no big deal"
"Let's just say a No to them"
and you think to yourself
"I thought this was resolved? But, looks like not"
so, what's the point?
Now you're fighting for her
trying to understand the situation better
trying to convince your parents
and every other day you have a conversation with her
and every other day you have a talk with your parents
and every other day you are rolling
into the coaster of the widest emotions
you never thought you would be experiencing ever
and she senses it, and they sense it
and anyone who meets you senses
that something is going on with you
and all you can think is that
you want to keep reading that never ending book
but when you tell this to her, she says to you
"What is the point?"

Hi There!
Hope you are doing great!
Thank you for taking a second to write down your thoughts on the stories that I write.
I would love your thoughts on how you felt while reading it.
I know for myself, that your kind words would inspire me to write more, and bring more such stories that you enjoy reading.
But, I also know that I would love it even more when I get a note which finds flaws, because I would take it as a challenge to improve in the next story that I write.
In any case, I consider myself to be honored to hear your thoughts while/after reading my blog!
Thank You!
