I reached chennai after a slow journey quite late in the night and slept with the excitement of knowing I’d meet Becky tonight.
We met at church and the service was awesome.
Back at home we sat and discussed the invitation cards and made out the format and the words. It felt really good sitting with her and talk about the wedding. The whole day was awesome – lovely lunch by Amma, a looooong chat on the terrace about marriage, kids, the future, work and lots more….. and suddenly it was time for dinner and my train. We cosied up in the backseat as Appa drove us back to the station where I got off and bid her goodbye. That emptiness gripped me again as I was not even sure when i’d see her again.
The SMS I sent Becky after that kinda reflects the feelings….”So here I am… alone again on a train… feeling the ache of saying goodbye to you now… and the joy of knowing we’ll be together for eternity…”
