They Ask!!!

They Ask!!!

Her husband died in wee hours oh but look at the clothes she is wearing, forget white saree or salwar she is dressed in jeans.

Oh but why, they ask ?

She has a son, oh but look she did not allow him to carry the bier, she did not take her son to the crematorium ground. Her son is 10 years old, he is old enough to face the trailing media watching with hawk eyes her every move. Why did she being a wife had to do all the rituals herself.

Oh but why, they ask ?

She claims to be fitness freak always advising about healthy eating and exercising and even though heart attack can happen to anyone still she was posting on instagram just one day before the tragedy when in fact she should have been taking care of him.

Oh but why, they ask?

Even though there are tears in her eyes she is not wailing loudly,  after all she lost her husband, her companion of 20 years ,oh but look still she is keeping her composure.

Oh but why, they ask?

They expect her to follow age old patriarchy and when she said NO;

Oh but why, they ask?
