THE CROSSROADS

It was my final semester of Masters ,had a MNC job in my kitty and everything looked perfect in my life when my mother told me that I have to get married.

She kind of manipulated me to get married fast to any Tom Dick or Harry because she wanted her sons to get married to their long timed girlfriends.

I trusted my mother and had no ideas of her plans .My father loves me a lot and is very close to my heart but we are not very vocal to each other especially in these matters.In our country Parda system and gender biasness dominates any love.I obeyed my mother because she started talking and loving me suddenly for all these favours.I was deprived of her love since my childhood because I use to live with my grandparents when I was 8 months old and later after grade 6 onwards I have been in a boarding.

Within a month I got married and unfortunately my marriage night function was a big flop because my parents could not plan and spend well. Boys side people were not even served food and lodging and as a result they didn't welcome me wholeheartedly.

Fortunately my husband is an amazing person and loves me selflessly. Thank God for making him my life partner.

After few years my mother again came in my life after getting her son engaged and married within a year.Now she forced me to have kids so that in society they have a good name that my daughter is well settled.This was the greatest mistake of my life.I had to leave my job ,my life,my peace of mind because I was blessed with a baby who had special needs and I had no mother to help me,she denied help outrightly .Now she wants only formality based relation as my in-laws have ( which was genuine).

Moral of the story is do not trust anyone.God has given me courage, patience and an amazing husband to take care of my child alone.

I will never leave him as my mother left me for her sons.I always use to pray to God from my early childhood and he s my only support .
