[ Child Marriage is an imprecation in the updated social system of consciousness ]
Tumpa, a beautiful girl of class VII
Used to love Pritish, a growing boy Who reads in class IX...they loved
Each other with their passionate
Child heart...they are from very
Humble families in a poor hamlet.
Their eyes are tinted with imagination,they have many colourful dreams in their mind.
It is crowning glory for them if their
Genuine love wins each other in a
Marriage...but they have hardly
Touched 18 years to be considered
Mature...hence their marriage will
Never be accepted and recognised in
The society....knowing very certain, Their marriage won't be approved
They decided rashly to elope to a far
Away hamlet and they hardly realised
Truth is stranger than fiction but their
Cherished dream corroded by stern
Practicality...the boy began to serve as
A bonded labourer driven by sheer
Poverty..sheer pain..intolerance..
Both they ended their lives by
Swallowing up poison.. The childish
Love of crowing glory turned a futile
Love of thorny crown...
A dented immaturity .
