Puppets Of Destiny | Pranbir [Poem Story] ✓

[[ 04 ]]

It had been a quiet and quick affair
something she still couldn't process
it still felt unbelievable,
getting hitched to a complete stranger!

Had it not been for the symbols adorning her,
or the little bundle in her arms curled,
she would have brushed it off as an absurd dream,
for it never had seemed a plausible reality!

She had no expectations of love anymore,
marriage was a far off shore,
something she couldn't attain,
far before reaching which she would fade away!

Yet here was she
and such was destiny
she had attained the shore,
be the circumstances of their marriage whatsoever!

She knew there never would be love between them
Yet she was content
For she was willing to devote all her love to her little one,
wasn't being a mother a greatest gift for someone?

It had been a quiet and quick affair
Just the way he had needed
it still felt mildly weird,
getting hitched to a complete stranger!

Yet it was something he found himself accepting of,
quite early considering himself after his past,
there was just something about her so distinct,
something he just couldn't place a finger on!

He had no need of love anymore
For he had loved once and had been left alone,
marriage was something he had decided on,
solely for his little one!

And here was he,
such their destiny,
bound together all for their little girl!

He knew there never would be love between them
And he knew of this, she too was aware
Yet seeing her content being just a mother,
Was enough to wipe out any doubts or regrets!
