But It's My Choice
BUT IT'S MY CHOICE.
Papa, Mama.
They say marriage is a private affair.
Time without number, you've asked of my better half.
He's here today.
Look mama, he's king of my world.
Papa, do not look down upon him.
He's a deligently man.
Working day and night to ensure our decent future.
I love him papa.
He loves me too.
Every single day you've asked for grandchildren.
Mama, he's not a royalty I know.
But nobody was born with riches.
We'll strive together.
I'm certain we'll excell.
Give him a chance mama.
Listen to him.
Without fear of your retaliation.
I can say papa was not the way he's today.
He was a struggling lad.
Grandma told me.
That up and down you went.
Along the meanders you negotiated.
Papa, please accept him.
A hero is not judged by the number of calfs.
I know him better.
You'll be our judge soon after our wedding.
I'm ready papa.
Mama I'm ready to carry the burden.
If things wont work as you say.
But a great certainty I have.
You'll come to praise him.
I'm aging mama.
The world is on a transit.
I can't be stagnant forever.
Allow us to tie this knot.
Papa give us your blessings.
From his side we got.
Do not subject us to torture.
Do not disrupt what we've planned for years
Do not doubt my choice.
Do not be rigid

Tha Formidable Cheru.
