She stood in silence staring at the glowing fire that was lit to witness her union with her husband. They had slowly walked around the sacred fire six times as the priest said some mantras and explained the significance of each round. They were about to take their seventh and last round, which according to the priest, is taken to promise that they would be true and loyal to each other, and remain life-long companions. Life-long companions? She smirked at that idea. Who were they kidding? All this tradition happenings meant nothing to her.
1 year later, she stood again staring at the glowing fire that was lit to witness Priya's union with Adi. She looked lovingly at the cute couple as they circled the fire. As they had taken each round, Adi would turn ever so often to look back at Priya, who refused to look up and had her eyes fixed on the ground. The scene brought back memories of her own wedding, which lets just say was very different. She had no emotion attached to her wedding day. It was done more for ritual purposes than anything. There was no affection. There was no love.
