amidst that elite crowd
he stood there to be divorced
allegations all he accepted
denials there was none
his lawyer thought
he had taken a dead case
no other child in this world
should be in his child's place..he thought
WHAT THEN....
YOU ACCEPT ALL ALLEGATIONS
YOU DID NOT DENY ANY
SHALL I GIVE IT AS DECLARED
THE DIVORCE
no sir
i want to live with them
i still have love for them
HOW WILL YOU
THEY DO NOT WANT YOU
HOW WILL YOU LIVE WITH THEM
i will sir
he said sending a chit to the chairperson
which just read
AS A GHOST
The divorced slid and fell
the bottle he emptied out was not just alcohol
as his eyes closed
his mom came to his mind
when he lost at school and cried
she told there is a life ahead
she stood there for him
