Be careful what you wish for and be careful what you don’t wish for. Confused right? I know. I was too until life happened to me unexpectedly. I am strong believer of the saying that things happen for a reason, whether good or bad but most definitely for a reason. I also believe that good things happen to good people and to those who wait. I am a good person and patient person. At least, in my opinion I think so or thought so.
We all learn as we grow and I am no exception. I have learned many things the hard way just like everybody else. Learning the hard way not just educated me but also made me a wiser and better person. You might be thinking if what happened to the turning point. I exactly could never figure that out but I assure you, there will be many turning points as you read. After this your life will change too. You will thank me for this.
I am a married diabetic person. No, that is not the turning point of my life. I wish that could have been it but remember what I said before? Be careful what you wish for. I was a diabetic before I came to my normal senses. I grew up with it and I am OK with that. I have sufficient knowledge on the illness and can take good care of myself. It never bothered me it never became an issue. Therefore, it could not change my life either. My whole life turned upside down in seconds, not even minutes. When I say seconds, I mean the rocket launching seconds. You know, it just happens and you just watch it go up.
Unfortunately, it happened to me when I was not watching and whatever after that became a world class act. A platform for people to scrutinize my life even more. I did not know things could change this fast without any indication. I also did not know you could get involved in not just love/ hate triangle but a love/hate quadruple. Yes, exactly, that is the turning point of my life - a love/Hate Quadruple. Let me give you a scenario and see if you can figure this out.
The Scenario: Mark, a 33 year old married man, diabetic and lives alone in
He is ready to send this e-mail to her and hope this does not hurt her. If it does, there is nothing he can do about it. She is and will always be hurt so he does not care about it. He just wants normalcy in his life. He is not asking for his wife's permission. He is just letting her know that if she does not come back soon, he will get married and then he will not need her at all. The wife agrees under the pressure of her family and the husband files for divorce. He informs his family as well allowing them to start looking for a girl.
The news soon spreads in the extended family. On one side, relatives show their sympathy for him. On the other hand, they suggest him to marry someone in the family. He listens to everybody and agrees to whatever they say believing they are thinking of his well being. To his surprise, a proposal comes right from the closest of relatives. Both families meet and decide fate of their children. He is also allowed to meet with her to be bride and discuss future plans. They both agree and events start taking place but official wedding date is yet to be confirmed.

He starts e-mailing his friends from out of town telling them about his tragic life. His ex girlfriend Janet also gets the e-mail. She always wanted to marry him but due to certain personal differences, they never went ahead with the idea. They both however loved each other very much. She replies him back with much kinder note than anybody else. Mark finds her reply as signal of hope to get his old love back. He decides to meet her and they start leading their life where they ended before. Mark finds Janet to be his perfect life partner. She will have to wait until the divorce is final.
Sonia notices that Mark is avoiding her and confronts him for an explanation. He smartly tells her that his family has found a suitable proposal for him and soon he might get married. He also tells her about his ex girlfriend Janet. She finds Mark's story untrue and threatens to destroy his married life if he gets married to someone else. Mark gets scared of Sonia's aggressive behavior and admits to marry her as soon as his divorce is final
His family finalizes a date and starts planning for the wedding. He shocks everybody by telling them that he is getting married with his ex girlfriend.
