The Wedding
Words 100
“Say cheese!” Rupam clicked the newly-wedded couple’s picture. “You both are looking great. You can frame this photo.” He turned to his kids. “Come and touch your mother’s feet and say goodbye.”
“Isn’t Mother going to live us anymore?” Sukhi, their five-year-old asked. “And who is that man next to her?”
Rupam hustled his children. “Let’s go. Your mother has a new husband and she’s going to live with him from now on.”
“But seriously Rupam,” his friend frowned, “how you can get your own wife married off to another beats me.”
“Much better than having them bump me off.”
