This house has been lit up like this for the past 6 days. It's the groom's house. He married his 17-year-long sweetheart. The boy, who had promised to marry her since childhood, is now a barrister. His wife is a doctor. They're successful. Behind their success stands the boy's father, who supported them.
The father was protective, ensuring the boy didn't get involved with anyone else, fearing he might stray. He even enrolled his son in university and would drop him off and pick him up. He treated the girl like his own daughter, never allowing her to visit the boy's house until the wedding.
The girl's parents had secretly finalized everything with the boy's father. Neither the boy nor the girl knew. It was as if they were cautious to avoid any immoral relationship. The girl loves her father-in-law dearly.
After everything, their wedding date was fixed last Friday. Their wedding arrangements left us mesmerized. The girl is exactly what the father-in-law wanted - perfect in every way. He personally shopped for everything, taking his would-be daughter along.
He planned to fulfill her every dream; his biggest dream was to bring her home. The wedding lights would stay on for seven days at his house! He had finalized everything, including centering all arrangements.
A week before the wedding, everything was set. On Tuesday morning, lighting would begin at home. But on Monday night... the boy's father passed away before seeing his dream come true! I was stunned by the news!
The girl was senseless, and the boy was frantic! All plans, arrangements, and dreams were shattered in an instant! A beautifully decorated car was supposed to enter the house - the wedding car! Instead, a hearse entered... Stroke took his life in just five minutes!
Is all worldly planning an illusion?! The boy got married last Friday at the mosque with the imam. The bride didn't wear a saree or dress up. They spent the whole day beside his father's grave.
Oh, life... The house has been lit up since Saturday! The boy intentionally told everyone to keep the lights on!
The boy married last Friday, and they're still grieving. The wedding decorations still stand, now a poignant reminder of the father's passing. The boy's words echo: "Keep the lights on."
