A Secret Heart - Part 11

Maya and prithvi started to chat with each other unknowingly.
Prithvi: Hi, I don’t want to go long in our chat. I just want to know one thing from you. Are you really interested in marrying me? Do you like me?
                Maya dint expect such a question in an initial chat. She resumed the chat after a couple of mins.
Maya: Yes, I am interested. What about you?
Prithvi: Frankly speaking, I came to chat with you cos of my mom’s compulsion. Have you seen my photo?
Maya: No, I haven’t seen you yet.
                Prithvi wondered.
Prithvi: Then how you said ok to marry me?
Maya: Just for your name.
Maya’s reply surprised prithvi. He thinks, how a girl agreed to marry him without seeing him just by knowing his name only. He felt something.
Maya: Have you seen me? What’s your reply for this proposal?
Prithvi: I am ok too. Till now I dint even know your name and nothing about you.
                Maya thought, how come a boy accepted to marry her without knowing her name even. They both feel different. Meanwhile prithvi got a call and he disconnected from the chat.
Maya: I am maya. Atleast now you know my name.
                Maya saw her message is not delivered as prithvi went offline suddenly. She too logged out.
                They both informed to their family that they are ready to marry and proceed further. Prithvi’s mom called maya’s parents and told her they will come to meet and confirm the marriage proposal next week. Maya’s parents are happy.

I Am A Doll

Just like others
I was born & tested,
Dressed & decorated
For a fresh start
To the journey of my life,
Chosen by many,
But left as an option,
I was longing to go,
On a fine moment,
I was handed to my possessor,
My life turned on,
 I was happy,
When pampered & hugged
Cherished moments on roll
Happy days follow,
With time I fade,
Lost beauty & charm
I failed to admire my possessor,
Time to time,
I faced kick offs
And some throw away,
I cried & screamed
In much pain & agony
I left to be alone & ignored,
I prayed & questioned god,
Why am I suffering?
God replied,
The answer is within you,
Me? I looked at my reflection
Then I realized
I am a doll
Without feelings,
With some parts missing!
