A quick tale 32

A question of love

All her friends fell in love and married their lovers. Her parents found her a match. For a while she wondered why no one had ever loved her enough to ask her to marry him. But soon got over it. The man she married made a good husband. They had children and grew old together. This must be love then, she told herself.

    Aaaah! The irrelevance of love to marriage and conversely... Well captured. Really.
    I wonder if people realise this in their lives and see a goat for a goat and a buffalo for one... ;-)

    How true! "Happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have."
    All of us yearn to be loved... and it's good that your story's character realized that she had received her share of love in the end!
    I was just curious to know about your reading habits - so, I've tagged "U".

    Hi Ammani,
    its amazing to see what you could do in few sentences..... most of your tales shows how much deeply you are connected to your roots....
    Keep it going.

    Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't..but if she thinks it is, then it is indeed !
    Love's often projected like a one word answer and it's hardly that simple ! One thing I don't quite understand..you agreeing with her when she thinks that's love ? or are you chiding for thinking that it is ?

    I know everyone loves your quick tales but could you take the time to finish your post about why you fell out of love with Chennai, please :-)

    And all the short-shorts fans, don't get mad, I think some of them qualify as poems/kavyam mmyself.......

    and she may still be wrong...! Who knows what true love is! The "glass is half full" types believe that what they have is true love, while the "glass is half empty" types believe that what they do NOT have is true love.

    In the end, marrying a person you know is just an insurance against the 'unknown'. Nothing more and nothing less.
