The conversation started yet again,
She wanted to disappear into thin air...
But this time it was more than statements,
There were questions hanging in front of her.
"What do you want? Have you found someone yet?"
"Or do we take it up?"
Her cheeks turned a shade darker, she could feel it,
They thought she had given up...
"You cannot stay single here!"
" Stop telling that you have to focus on us forever!"
"We need to know that you have someone holding your hand too"
They were not wrong she could see through...
She was focusing on the white washed ceiling,
Forming sentences in her mind,
She searched for words more appealing...
To stop further interrogation she mumbled.
"In love I am!
Its true it happened once again...
It took this much time,
But I guess that is fine!"
Big eyes exchanged glances,
with a loud shout the household shook,
They were the happiest,
As their mother had put on her shyest look...
Tears rolled down her cheeks,
As her children danced around her bed.
Its true, if not for her chicks,
Her courage to love again would not have appeared.
With love,
Sanjukta
