Fiction

All about her!

She was all alone in her early twenties. Two sons, yet very young to understand what their mother is going through. It was not that, her husband succumbed, rather he was very busy making money, which he ultimately lost in the near future.

Presumably, she never liked her husband, because he indefinitely blackmailed her to marry, and why shouldn’t he be doing so, when she is so beautiful, and tried to listen to her parents, but couldn’t resist the infatuation which led to a lifelong relation.

She was a runaway bride। Her parents didn’t accept her, and her father declared her to rot। Was it fair with her? The story should explain or the reader should guess—because every coin has two sides, and I believe the one which is mine is right-it is fair! May be, may be not, but ironically this is how our society and life has been scrawled into.

Every woman, dreams of a family of her own, and the in-laws she will be going, will be cozy and warm, rather not chunked with people to criticize and abuse her. The day she stepped in her in-laws, she had new relations, hot and cool, however, her lover’s love was now distained. Because the hero, her husband has received the boon of his life, the woman he dreamed was now only his.

She had a kind loving mother-in-law, who is a friend of her mother, but in very short time she expired in an arson, which left the house crumbling, but, soon after sometime her father-in-law married the maid of that house whom he was dating long before his wife was alive. Now when the maid, became the step-mother-in-law, it became difficult for her.

Her agony was unfathomable. May be many women in our society had to go through such or similar proximities in life but many accepted the norms and have a tendency to carry on, and every woman has a distinguished reason for that-I believe. And her reason was her children.

Yes, deep inside her, she did not hate him, but also didn’t like him. She had patience having worry for her children—it came to the situation, that her father who once left her, offered her to come back with her child and she’ll arrange to have her marry someone good.

But she wasn’t an opportunist, she was a mother. She later felt good, slight good about the despaired relationship and God blessed her with more children, she found herself busy with them, and making their life possible unlike hers.

She would blankly look through the window, and ponder on the odds of her life and the possibilities. Her parents would have married her to a wealthy man. She would think dissolve in solitude.

Her husband never cared for her when she was pregnant. She had no friends, but she was strong.

She had a neighbor, who was a runaway wife, she was close with her, and she left because she couldn’t bear her husband, and settled in America with another man. She had a girl and a boy, may be she thought of them, but she couldn’t help herself.

Her neighbor did something she thought she would do, when her husband often started beating her for things—her husband was good at breaking household things as good as he was breaking her bones.

Well, my question is why did she remain silent?Now, she is still there, but she has her own house. Her husband changed. He is good now. She is yet not attracted towards him, but she enjoys her family life—it’s her family now.

The kids grew, they all chose their tracks, she encourages them to good but never subdued them, her only daughter got married to a responsible man—even though they fight, and she mitigates things as a mother would always do.

She says to her children, “you are free”. May be because she knows the importance of being free, she lived and still is living a confined life, may be of her choice, may be not!

likewise, life goes on until death subdues the soul.
