The Newly Wed

The Newly Wed

It was easy to adjust with my new family, 

said no newly wed ever! 

She did not sign up for all this, 

She doesn't even have a say

Not even in the minutest decisions whatsoever! 

And if once in a while she tries to do something on her own, 

She gets owned like never before! 

Her new family was supposed to adapt to the fact 

That sooner or later there shall be an addition in their family 

Whom their very own beloved son shall love!

She, on the other hand, tries her real best to adapt to her new home. 

She wants to be loved and taken care of. 

But what she receives is taunts about how things she does is wrong! 

Not different, but wrong! 

They were already opinionated about her;

That she won't be able to fulfil their expectations,

That she is very lazy and careless,

That she's just good at work and not the welfare of this house (?). 

Yet, she kept trying to please them. 

They were impressed at times but would never appreciate her 

Unless she asked them about their opinion. 

Yes, change is not easy; 

it comes with it's own tag-alongs 

including disagreements, misunderstandings and what not!

But here, bringing about a change "by her"

Was more difficult than climbing Mt. Everest!

If she stayed of the opinion that it's OK; 

I'll adjust, which most of the times she did, 

they'd say "she's supposed to do so". 

But if she rebelled for a good change, 

she was shushed, not only by them but also by "him". 

He who brought her to his home in the first place..

Hypnotising her about how her life was going to be perfect!

But now, he has his own doubts. 

For he has been hammered by his friends 

That he'll be the one who'll be sandwiched all along. 

He chose the easier option of keeping his "love" quiet, 

Rather than getting into an argument with his Dear "family"

Difference of opinions are a part and parcel of one's lives. 

We talk about it and then we move on with our daily routine. 

Whatever she tried to inculcate, went unheard,

Unless he shall come forward and have a word,

She shall never get her place in her new world,

And thus, she now is no longer a newly wed,

And still trying to figure out what went wrong?

should I make some babies instead?

And thus they lived happily ever after..

My head started spinning..

"Stop it! Put that TV Off!" I said to myself!

How lucky you are to not be one of those 

"Newly Weds"!

You, for one have always received 

The privileges of a Daughter, perhaps more!

Because, they have regarded you as one!

Not since today, not since yesterday, 

But since their Son told them about you both!

How lucky you are, you Queen!

Not being judged for every move,

Supported in your Professional Life!

Liberated in your Personal Life! 

All because of the one you love and loves you back!

He is the one blessed with this lovely family,

He is the one who keeps it unconventionally cool!

Today is the day when you shall thank him!

For giving you the perfect family one could ever imagine!

So instead of crying on others plight,

Wake up, empower them, to make their choices right!

Hey guys, please give this prose-poetry that I tried your love by sharing and commenting!

P.S. I love you Kushal! For being my Mr. Right!

Love!
