GRAND FATHER

While playing 

​with puppies ​

 in the backyard ,

i 

​eavesdropped ​

my mother's conversation 

with her sister 

about the pregnancy of a distant cousin 

three months after marriage .

I asked my grand father

 

​hesitantly ​

​concealing my curiosity ​

"why do girls get pregnant after marriage ? "

He replied confidently 

"God takes care of everything "

​.​

​few years later ​

i realized ,

His confidence has done immeasurable harm to me
