Old friend

Old friend

Today, N visited. She is marrying a boy of another religion, much against her father’s wishes. The decision and event has caused much havoc in her home. Not only does she have to face tantrums, she told; but, face family members’ indifference, too (backed by society’s curiosity). She broke down weeping in front of me, however, heartfelt(ingly) regained composure and mentioned the pain.

I am reminded of old days... Times she’d visit unexpectedly : either at lunch times (which I tease her about till date), or to discuss plans. Career, friends, teachers and cities... Ever green topics... ever green memories...

May she stay smiling and may God Bless her!
