Chap 30 A new chapter

Ghazal’s life had taken an unexpected turn, reducing her cheerful self to a sad state. Her smiles had gone for hiding. Most of the time, she was lost in her thoughts,as though in a daze. Her grandfather too had grown silent, not knowing how to cheer her up. All her friends visited her regularly, but no efforts on their part could console her. She had lost all interest in her life, taking care of her grandfather and her home, moving like a machine with no emotions whatsoever.
      Three months had passed, with no changes in her life and home. Then one fine morning, her grandfather’s  friend came to visit them with a proposal from a family known to him. They had seen Ghazal previously at his house at some function and coming to know about the sad incident, had sent a proposal for their youngest son. He was well settled with a business of his own and since the proposal had come from them, her grandpa was more than pleased. This seemed to be yet another chance to him to revive his darling grand-daughter from the sadness, she had enveloped herself in. Meeting was fixed and Ghazal seeing her grandfather smile for the first time after the tragedy, didn’t have a heart to refuse…
        Soon she was a married girl, in a simple ceremony with her friends n both the families attending the affair. It was the beginning of a new chapter in her life.
