"Ma, could you please give me a glass of water?" the bride-to-be asked,
The mother complied, smiling, without a word;
The brother pulled her hair, screaming, "Mumma's girl!",
The father looked on at the girl who was his world...
It would be a matter of two days and she would be gone,
Life wouldn't be the same, but it would have to go on.
Whose lively voice would the household wake up to?
Whose favorite food would now be cooked?
Who will the mother scold for licking the pickle from the jar?
Who would sneak out and use the car?
Who will the brother annoy and disturb?
Awaiting whose arrival, would the father stay up?
Who'll fight over the T.V. remote in the living room, henceforth?
Who would munch on chocolate happily?
The daughter of the household would change soon,
the groom would be taking away the family's moon.
Whose hair would the mother oil and comb,
now that she would shift to another home?
Will she remain immature and naive?
Or would the responsibilities make her grow up and change?
Will she be able to wake up without her mother's screech?
Can she manage alone, without her father's speech?
Who'll care to know her problems and pain,
without her brother to share it all with?
Will she be able to cook more than just Maggi?
It never mattered here, as long as she was happy...
Crossing the threshold of her maiden home, she would enter a new life,
The young, immature, much-loved daughter would become someone's bride.
