He was pent up on marrying her
I just want to marry, only her
He said. His people were unhappy, mother wept, and sisters in
law couldn’t see her suffering..
He didn’t care for horoscopes nor clan or sub clan or kin
I don’t care, I wanna marry her,
That is all that matters,.
Bride’s parents and relatives
In fact told the chivalrous girl
That it is ok, as they say:
Find someone or be someone’s
Love of life or reason to be..
Long time later, he tells her
After her kids are grown and married..
That the reason he wanted to
Have her for his wife was,
Since she spoke so sophisticated,
As though she paid no attention to his words,
She said, “pardon?” when he said something that was different
from her lingo
He decided, then and there
To teach her what it costs
To not pay attention, when he said.
To have her bound in a marriage and take his liberty with him..
No questions need be asked
Why she is what she is today…
No matter how much he rationalizes
In holding her back, her creativity, her knowledge,
Her verbal abilities,
Despite all, she said
He is who is taking care of her,
And He would show her to open up, and show her creativity, if
one thing closes
He shows ten other ways as well as abilities, for her
To be self sufficient,
Tolerant, understanding and forgiving, despite him saying
Things that could offend her for
The rawness, that just made it clear to her, why he married her…
She to him may be anything
Yet it cannot be called a relationship of respect… or love..
It may be superior to that..
That he is a person who just wants to be loyal to his ego,
And feels his life miserable, if it is ever hurt..
So they are married till this day, as she knows, in heart he
is
Not yet liberated from his ego..
Or need for dominance!
Praying every minute
To forget the time and
Keep going as brightly
Brilliantly as ever, thankful
For all things in life, always!
