Managing something called "Marriage"

I was at work, in a great mood for a change - and i get a call. Its from my friend - i pick up the call and i hear that my friend just got engaged! Congrats to him, good for him!

Thats where i started thinking - it spoilt my mood and completely disturbed me. And i know why its disturbing me - not because im not getting engaged - but the people are gonna start asking me why im not getting married. What is the issue? blah blah...and ma so called friends think that i dont really have a great reputation. U know why, coz i have friends who are gals. AND its completely not acceptable by my community!!!

What the hell man, cant i choose the way i can live? Or can i really? I dont know...but im definitely not liking the fact that somebody else is dictating on how i should lead my life!

Twist in the story...I just got a call from home. And guess what - i got a proposal too. And mom is too excited about it. Im excited too, for them. I hope this one works out for good...i hope i lik the girl...insha allah. Will know soon!
