As I was spinning 2 fine threads that are destined, I asked my sisters," When would we find love?"
My sisters gasped at my question. Lachesis,the one whom measures,answered me ," Dear sister, you do know what you are asking right?"
I nodded. "Yes. We see people falling in love everyday. Why cant we ?"I asked.
Atropos, the one whom ends the life of others, told me ,"Clotho, youre beautiful that I assure you but ...love was never meant for us. We were given tasks and we do it but falling in love was never a task of ours. Never."
I sighed and nodded. This is my life ,I should accept it . That's what they mean.
