Married away..

Title: Married Away...
The matchmaker yelled out loudly" We are here to bring the bride to her in-laws place" With the sedan and loud instrumental music in place, everyone was out to join in the happy occasion..

Back in the house, the mother and father looked tearfully at their daughter.. A furry of emotions ran through their hearts.. They knew it was time for her to leave the nest, to pursue her happiness, her future.. At the same time, they feared for her ability to adapt in a new environment..

The daughter gazed back at them, tears falling down her face.. Today marked the day of her entry into a brand new world.. a whole new game.. She wondered if she was ever going to be back home again anytime soon..


Mother and father spoke" Dear gal, this will always be your home. Do not hesitate to come back, we will welcome you back with open arms at anytime. We believe in you..You will do us proud and bring glory to us."

The daughter attempted to reply but failed.. She was too emotional to reply.. For the first time, she did not feel like leaving.. She wanted to just stay here forever yet she knew in order to grown and learn, she had to leave..

Slowly, she made her way to the sedan with her parents by her side.. She prayed that her in-laws would love her for who she was.. She prayed that the husband would love her for her qualities..

In her heart, she knew she would pull it off.. When the time is ripe, she would return home once again to her parents and her nest..
