LEAP YEAR !!!

When there is a fire, break the glass. When there is a fire at your house and you have only 60 seconds for the rescue act, then which valuable thing will you pick up first? When the boyfriend of a girl is yet to give the marriage proposal to her, even after spending 4 years together; then it really becomes frustrating for her. Neither can she cry nor can she laugh heartily. Only a depression of their love relationship keeps on hovering around her heart. As per the Irish tradition, a girl can propose about marriage to her boyfriend only on 29th February. Well, forget about those Irish tradition, because, the real matchmaker is sitting at the top of the Universe to know about all your needs and wants which you may have not explored or discovered yet.

She was not a realtor but a stager. Her profession was like that of an Interior Decorator in Indian context. Her grandma proposed her grandpa on 29th February. So, she also decided to put the proposal of marriage to her lover on 29th February. She started her journey from Boston. Only the married couples were eligible to get good furnished houses in Dublin. Due to an underestimated storm, the plane landed at Wales airport.  Anna hired a boat to reach Dublin, but again due to bad weather, she was forced to land in Dingle. At Dingle, she entered inside the Caragh’s pub. The customers of the pub were all drunkards except that cab driver. Long time back, Declan, Kaleigh and their friends started this pub. Declan loved Kaleigh but it was one-sided only.

The wallet was inside that cab, but, alas, the cab fell into the mud water. They started walking towards the Railway Station. The train was about to arrive after 2 hours 30 minutes. They visited the castle which is one of the 7 wonders of Ireland. Declan told her a romantic story. Well; the history gets repeated itself. Who knows; maybe, that story gets applicable for these two innocent souls also. Aah! She missed the train. Where to spend the night? To get entry to a hotel, they had to act like a married couple. Heads you win, Tails I lose. She understood the trick only after taking a nice bath! Or was she too smart enough! How can you enjoy a lovely dinner without a tasty Chicken dish! If Jeremy was a good cardiologist, then Declan was an excellent chef.

When you kiss, you should kiss with such a passion that it should look like as if you are kissing for the first time and the last time. Though, it was an awkward situation for both, but, kiss is always an enjoyable moment. They slept together on a bed. Their mind kept on questioning themselves, but, physically, they did not dare to act as it was too complicated at that scenario. As per Irish tradition, never start a journey on Sunday. That’s may be a superstition for that American lady, but, that Irish guy was happy to hear that on Sundays, there are no trains from Dingle to Dublin. He thought he was bad at wedding party, but she was worse. Being humiliated at the party, Anna kept on drinking and started saying about her admiration towards his beastliness. 

Next morning, he accompanied her to Dublin. In Dublin, Declan took back his mother’s ring from Kaleigh. Jeremy proposed her for the marriage, but, did that proposal came from the bottom of his heart, or was it just a deal. The fire alarm proved everything in that party. Declan’s Caragh pub started doing more profits now. Declan was amazed to see a customer in his pub who came from a place which is 3,000 miles away from Dingle. Now, she proposed him. My goodness! The man went inside to get something. Anna regarded it as an Irish style of rejecting a proposal. On that lovely Sunday, she was waiting on the riverside to hear one of the romantic questions of the Universe, ‘Hey, sweetheart, will you marry me in this “LEAP YEAR”’?
