A day is at its sweetest at dawn. The pink hues with hopeful birds chirping away to pleasant pastures and the silence of the calm skies as the breeze brushes through the leaves of confident trees make life blissful. The pursuit is not just of happiness, but of peace. Peace which warms the heart. Peace which imbibes hope. Peace which creates security. And peace which makes one feel blessed and loved.

My life dawned a few months ago as I met one piece of peace. A piece that completes me in a way I never thought I could be complete. A person who accepts me for everything I am, which I must admit, is a big ask. A girl who is as cheerful as a bright rainbow and as caring as a soft lullaby. A star that shone for my dawn.

We got engaged to be married on the 28th of November. And I eagerly wait for the day we start living together. My life – check that – our lives will never be the same. May we be blessed with all the happiness and love. May the Almighty keep every evil eye away. May we be together till our dying breath. And, for us, may everything be better than what we wish.

Ameen.
