He looked slowly at me and kissed my hands and cheek
" No more crying Geet, this is the best night of our lives. We will only smile"
I knew from inside he was aching. I just wanted to embrace forever. Why do girls leave their parents house?
"Puthar the priest is here now, it's time for the ceremony, each step you take now will be towards your dreams. Don't look back because of us."
I held my dads hand tightly and moved towards the stage.
I remember jokingly telling him to not let me fall down and all he replied was never with a sense of pride in his eyes.
