HOW I FELL FOR MY DRIVER

It is true when people say, “you can find love in the most unexpected places.” The feeling of being madly in love is so pure and gentle, even when you are surrounded by restrictions and obstacles that’ll prevent you from finding your happiness. But love is so motivating that it persuades you to fight for the one you love and want. But is it all worth it at the expense of a sacred marital bond?

My father married me off to Roshan 3 years back in 2019.

It was a grand ceremony in Kanpur and everyone gushed at the grandeur and how much my father had spent on this marriage. It was an arranged marriage and I had hardly spoken to Roshan before all this. He seemed nice, comforting and shy, so I didn’t push his buttons too soon. I wanted to be the perfect wife to him. But on our wedding night, as I sat on the bed waiting for him to come so that finally we could have some time together, I got hugely disappointed. He came to the room, smiled and said a few things and then soon, we consummated our marriage. We didn’t talk at all and then slept. I figured it must be the exhaustion from the wedding ceremony.

He drove me to my classes every week and was very sweet and kind. He has dark skin and is well-built. He's in his early 30s and he is super friendly! At the beginning itself, he never made me feel alone when he drove me to my classes. We talk about different things on the way it has now become the best part of my day. I wait every day for those classes to drive with him. He makes me feel comfortable enough to have a good laugh.

One day, I wore a white salwar-kameez and he instantly brightened up and said, “madaam, aaj aap suraj ki tarah chamak rahi ho (You are shining bright as the sun today)” I laughed and sat in the car. But inwardly, I was gleaming with joy. Finally, someone had complimented me! Not even my own husband but my driver made me feel beautiful. And that was the day I fell in love with him.

I look for instances to be alone with him, besides going for my classes. I had invited him for tea to which he refused many times, but when he did come in, I sat with him along with my other servants so that nobody can be suspicious.
