Little Lily approached the bed slowly, watching her mother as she slept. She softly called out, "Mama, please wake up." Her little hands reached out to Ruby, who opened her eyes and looked at Lily, trying to fight through the pain. "Mama, please wake up," Lily pleaded. Ruby’s head throbbed with pain. She gently put her hand on her head, trying to gather herself, and then sat down on the bed, wanting to be there for Lily despite her discomfort.

"My dear, what would you like? Mama, could you please take me to the park? Please, Lily said. Her eyes were wide with hope. Her little legs bounced with excitement, tapping the floor eagerly.

Ruby sighed softly. Tied her hair, the thought of getting out of bed Felt overwhelming. She couldn’t disappoint Lily. She struggled to get out of bed, but she pushed herself to freshen up. Lily was already at the door, ready to go, and she looked so excited. They both walked together, feeling the cool breeze on their faces. The fresh air seemed to lift Ruby’s spirit high. Lily happily moved Ruby’s hand and her face filled with all smiles. when they finally entered the park, Ruby and Lily sat on a beach under a tree, watching as children played in the grass. Ruby noticed that Lily seemed eager to engage with the children, but it seemed like she might be looking for something different.

After a few minutes, she ran towards a corner. When she found puppies, she ran towards them. Stood near them and watched for some time. She opened her pouch and fed the puppies. The mother dog watching from a distance. Ruby too watching from the bench.

After some time she happily returned. Mama let’s go home.

Go and play with the kids”. Ruby said.

“Mama let’s go home” Lily pulling Ruby’s hand.

For the puppies you came hear.? Yes, mamma.

Ruby seemed to be upset for a moment. It’s understandable to have strong feelings about puppies. Can you share why they’re so special to you?

"Mom, they’re just like us, without a dad. I feel sorry for them."Mom, they’re just like us, without a dad.

Ruby’s senses gone., Every minute she sees Lily her past flashes in her mind. Now Lily’s words ignited healed wounds. when Lily grows up asks about her father what answer she will give? In the name of freedom, she forgot boundaries or she was the victim of someone’s desires. She too had her role in this tragedy. If she failed that doesn’t matter but Lily lost a secure, dignified family. what the introduction she will give Lily about her father. She was born without wedlock, her boyfriend refused to accept the Lily.

Even though their parent’s marriage was arranged, they gave her a secure, beautiful, and respectable childhood. She still longs for it, but Lily’s life will be a stigma. With these thoughts her head started throbbing again. She didn’t look in the eyes of Lily. Again Lily’s words are becoming.” They are like us, without dad”.

With a firm grip on Lily’s hand, she vowed to instill a deep understanding of the significance of the institution of marriage.
