Ink In My HEART

8.HER LIFE

When she was born, her mother had tears in her eyes,
Beacuse she was a girl, and her father broke the tie.

He said to her, if you want to stay with me,
Give me a boy next year, then only you will have a relation with me.

Her mother agreed and next year, she gave birth to a boy,
His father never cared for his daughter as she was considered a mere toy.

When she was 5, and her brother was 4,
Her father slapped her for a mere reason and she fell on the floor.

The reason was, she wanted to play with her brother,
But her father didn't wanted them to play together.

Her mother rushed to her, saved her from his rage,
Her father told her, that she can't play as this is not her age.

He wanted her to learn household works,
He slapped her so hard leaving the marks.

Her mother asked her not to cry,
She told her, she can't change her father's nature, no matter how much she try.

When she grew old, she had an urge to study,
She asked her father, but he said you are meant to make puddy.

But she didn't gave up, and used to study from her brother's book,
She made a promise to herself, to get educated  by hook or by crook.

When she was 12, once her father saw her studying,
He beated  her with a stick and said that her only aim is working,
Her only tool was rolling pin,
And not that pen.

After 1 year, when she hit puberty,
Her father cutted her hairs just  because she looked pretty.

He said, by looking pretty you are inviting boys,
She wanted to scream, she wanted to argue, but she hid her voice.

Why don't this society made their boys learn to respect girls,
But they will not, as the one who is wrong is the girls.

And one day, something worst happened,
Her own brother tried to molest her.
When she told everybody about his deed,
The society said, what is his fault? Even he has some need.

They said, you must have gave him some signals
They asked her father yo marry her off as she is the root of trouble.

At a mere age of 16, she was married,
The groom departed with the  young bride,
She entered another hell, thinking she cried.

That 25 year old gentleman man tried,
He asked her not to cry, he will be always by  her side.

soon, they became good friends,
But the story does  not ends  here.
The society again intervers in their life.

They said, why you didn't gave birth to a child,
After all its the sole reason to bring  a wife!

Her husband warned the society, dare if they came between them,
He said,  before wife, she's my friend and no one can separate them.

Everyone was shocked, how can a man support is wife,
After all, a woman serve her husband all her life.

She had tears of joy,
Her husband didn't took her as a mere toy.

He himself was a barrister,
And thus wanted to save her from the society of the sinisters.

He made her a educated and a bold woman,
So that she can be a inspiration to all the women.

Gradually, they both fell in love with each other,
But he didn't want to force his love on her.

He asked her to choose her life partner herself,
But as she also loved him, she chose him for herself.

Finally the day came when the souls became one,
At the age of 25, she gave birth to a son.

Now their family was completed.

                              ☆☆☆

She came back to the present,
And compared the past with the present.

She rememberd how her own son killed his father just for the property,
And how he treated his mother.

She would always be guilty, for unable to make her child a   good human.

She remembered the day when her son left her in this old age home,
But after all, a old age home is really not a home.

She was on her death bed,
But remembering  her old memories of her life.

She is happy that finally she is going back to her husband,
And then she closes her eyes and finally unites with his friend.

A friend who always stood by her side,
A husband who always loved her and considered her as his PRIDE.
