The family was cheerful as the dessert was being served. Everyone had come together for the first anniversary of the couple. They had had a long day with the celebrations and greeting all the family members, but were still looked as cheerful and fresh. Once everyone had left, they went to their bedroom. He lay down on the bed after changing into his pyjamas, and she joined him by his side. Neither spoke as they stared at the ceiling, before sleep came to them. A year after their marriage they were married by day and were strangers in the night.

Oh that is sad!! They need a good shot of romance in their lives. Great take on the prompt. ♥
An arranged marriage? It is sad. Maybe another year…..
Interesting post. Wish things improve for them, soon.
Oh 😦 Sad.. But a good take on the prompt !!
Oh, no, just a year? That’s too, too sad…
sad but good take on this 🙂
How unfortunate is this… 😦
It’s sad when people have to put on a mask for the sake of others and not live for themselves…great take on the prompt!
A really good take, a sad one though.
Again, very much a reality than we would like to accept.
This happens to a lot of couples who get forced into arranged marriages and turn zombies living a forced life for the sake of everyone else except themselves. 😦
Sad.

It’s upsetting to read and realise, this must actually happen too…
Indeed sad! They not have consumed their marriage! Interesting take on the prompt, Hrishikesh:)

A facade that they put up for the family and society but it is sad.

Reality bytes. Well articulated.
