4 weddings and... another one!

One of the things that I have begun to dislike is attending weddings of complete strangers(to me!) without having someone to accompany me throughout the course of events. Earlier on it was always my sister along with me and times weren’t so boring and of course me attending it came naturally without a “why??” “do I have to???” “who are these ppl anyways??” “hmmm..ohk..alrite”. it was infact kinda fun. We used to stick together all the time not caring about a single soul and used to carry on with doing the single purposeful task at hand-eating! Cant say we have been heavily into it,snacks used to be just about it sometimes but well these places gave us our space,a bunch of new faces to look at,a place where we could talk endlessly without being interfered with and well to us it was like a night out! where people found theses gatherings a nice place to socialize and interact I wouldn’t really rate us anything even close to being social butterflies!
Occasionally a few adults would approach us with a million problems regarding us “ghar kyon nahi aate ho beta??” and a few embarrassing ones like “college main mummy ki zyada yaad aati hai ki papa ki??” now what do I say to that. If I dare say “dono ki” pop comes another question “nahin ek kit oh zyada aati hogi” why did I even think arguing was an option. Anyways that constitutes a very small part of our time there. Not enough to hamper our seclusion!
But now things are different…for the first time. I have to go to these weddings alone- ie without my sis- my support system!now my sole aim lies at walking around with a friend I happened to bump into or calling frantically just about anyone I can reach! I really do miss her. I miss our times together at such places where nothing holds any concern. i miss all of that. Atleast I know how she felt the entire year when I was not around. For a moment it makes me happy that after a few days I’ll be off to my college too and wont have to face these occasions without her but then well inside me I want to! So well definitely during our next holidays together we’ll be definitely back together. Hopefully then there will be a wedding to attend!
