Thorns and Petals

A marriage is like a rose; a romantic keepsake having the combination of thorns and petals. The red hue of the petals symbolizes love, and passion and is soft to touch. The thorns that lay on the stem, however, represent adversity and sacrifice.

Destiny had something else planned for two individuals who were least interested in the idea of marriage. The opposites desired love, but nothing near to marriage. But, their roads converged due to their parents.

One believed in love but feared it.

And the other didn't have time for it.

Descriptions never do any justice.
