It is not usual that i attend marriage ceremonies. One day, i was in a marriage ceremony of my neighbour's daughter. The atmosphere there is scintillating with all the somersaults, lullabies for making the small children asleep. Watching them i felt a strong euphoria to go back to my childhood... :-(
I was sitting on a chair in the hall, while my eyes were on a small child & a father sitting beside me. The child was playful. She had a cute smile, cute voice and i liked to live that moment. She was indeed beautiful in her dress. Her father was playing with the child saying "you were not born to your mother. We found you somewhere. ".
Listening to her father, the child was thinking eagerly and she lost all her glow on her face. Mean while we all left for dinner in a jiffy. The child followed her father to dine.
I could not stop myself playing with her. When i asked for her name, her reply made me awe struck. her reply was, " I don't know what my name is, i was found somewhere to my parents". She left the place saying those words.
After dinner, the child asked her father that she wanted to sleep. Her father arranged some chairs in a row to let her sleep there. It was midnight and the child got up. With a pale face she asked her father if he was sure that her parents found her somewhere.
My eyes were moist then. Her father hugged her tightly and his eyes were moist too. How deep a simple thing went in the girl's heart!!! . .
Crushed and crumpled in pain,
i see her tears pouring like rain.
In the sea of tears, i was submerging then. How i wish i was good at mending!!!
