Ilakiya sighed as she gazed out the window of the car, lost in thought. She remembered the day that her parents had first introduced her to Suresh, a man they had found for her on a Tamil matrimony website. At the time, she had been hesitant and resistant to the idea of an arranged marriage.
"I don't know, Amma," Ilakiya had said to her mother, shaking her head. "I want to find someone on my own, someone I can choose for myself."
Her mother had placed a comforting hand on Ilakiya's shoulder. "I understand, Ilakiya," she said gently. "But your father and I only want what is best for you. Suresh comes from a good family and he is a successful man. You should at least talk to him and see if there is a connection."
Ilakiya had reluctantly agreed, feeling a sense of duty to her parents. She replied to Suresh's text on her messaging app and, to her surprise, she found herself enjoying the conversations with him. He was kind, intelligent, and supportive, and Ilakiya couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards him.
Ilakiya was overjoyed when Suresh proposed to her one evening. The two of them had been together for a while and she never thought the day would come when he would pop the question. But it came so suddenly.
"Ilakiya," he said, looking at her straight in the eyes. "Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Tears of joy sprang to Ilakiya's eyes as she realized what was happening. She couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Suresh," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "Yes, I will marry you."
The two of them hugged and kissed, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Taman Jaya park where Suresh had proposed. It was a moment Ilakiya would never forget.
After they had shared their happy news with their family and friends, Ilakiya and Suresh decided to have a small, intimate engagement ceremony. They invited their closest loved ones to celebrate with them and exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment to one another.
As Ilakiya slipped the ring onto Suresh's finger, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. This was it, the beginning of the rest of their lives together. She looked into Suresh's eyes and saw the same love and joy reflected back at her.
And as they celebrated with their family and friends, she couldn't wait to see what the future held for them as husband and wife. However, Ilakiya knew that they would have to wait a while before they could actually tie the knot.
At the time of the engagement, Ilakiya was still studying for her law degree. Her dad had always placed a strong emphasis on education, and he had made it clear to the people at the ceremony that Ilakiya needed to finish her studies before getting married.
So, despite the excitement of the engagement, Ilakiya and Suresh had to put their wedding plans on hold.
Ilakiya was determined to achieve her life goals. As such, she had no problem with waiting until she had finished her studies.
