I saw him talking to her
They was very close
he was almost into her face
I was standing right behind him
finding for some space
Newly married new bride
Nervous yet it in control
I tried to hide my tears as much as I could
as much as my eyes could hold...

It was almost two hours now
he didn't introduce me to her yet
I thought I was disturbing them
so without any noise
I silently left...
I had no penny
to take the rickshaw back home
So I kept walking as fast as I could
It was 12:30 at night
and I was scared
because the road I took
was empty and spare
with liquor bottles lying all around
the empty roads made eerie sound
the wind was flowing
and so was I
praying saying that I must fly...

Finally I reached the home
where I was always an outsider and always unwelcomed
but I had the pass to enter that house
because I had married their son
I ran towards the lift
hit the button
and as soon as the doors closed
I realised that I was forgotten
I reached the home
I reached my room
I closed the door and threw myself on bed
I didn't want to but I was crying
I enjoyed the warmth of the room
and thanked God for walking alongside that night...
I didn't realise when I fell asleep...

It was almost 3:00 am in the midnight
when someone hit the doorbell
It was him
he entered the room
and he roared
why did you leave me
atleast you should have told
I replied you were busy
your friends saw me walking out
I thought you would know soon
and come running to me
and hold my hand and we will walk together back home...
but I didn't know that it would take you three hours to know that I left
I guess she was more important than me...

He turned his face
and with arrogance he said
didn't you think even once
what people who saw you moving out of the gate alone would have said...
I have friends and I have many people
have some shame
than shedding your tears instead...
