The thick dark clouds had covered the morning sky. A tiny ray of sun tried to get through the clouds.Once upon a time Meenakshi used to love this weather. Now she hated it as it depicted her life.She was lost in dungeon called problems and there was no door of hope to let her out.
All she wanted in life was to be loved and respected. But her desires left her trapped.She stood leaning on balcony ledge with thoughts of how messy her life was. " How I wish people could understand what I am going through!" she sighed.
"Meenu!! I need water." her husband shouted from his bedroom. She rushed to him with glass of water. He was on bed where he tried to stretched hands. “Don’t!! I’ll help you.” she said. He had been paralysed from below and had been unable to walk for four years. Doctors had tried for years to get him on his feet. Nothing worked. Meenakshi’s savings had got exhausted due to huge expenditures on his medicines. Even the night shifts and odd jobs couldn’t help her to meet the expenses.
She sat there next to him while brushing his hair with her hand. She was remembering the beautiful life before her marriage. Her parents had big plans for her. They wanted her to be a doctor. They had spent a lot on her education by sending her to good school. But life changed when she met Amit. They were total opposite-she was all rounder while he was complete loser. As it is always said opposites attract. It took time for Meenakshi to fall into charms of Amit.
After two years of dating, they finally decided to elope and
marry. They were barely eighteen. They made such big decision in haste. They didn’t
care for anyone and believed their future lied in each other. Meenakshi was
happy to step into new phase of life with her husband. However she was unaware
of what lied in her future.
