Contract Marriage

Present time-

Here today is the last day of this contract. Which contract you all might be wondering, well contract of six months marriage and my happiness. Yes, my marriage was a contract marriage. Of course not my first marriage but this marriage is from all of my heart. I am now writing a letter to bid goodbye to my so-called husband. Yes I don't have the strength to hear it from my husband's mouth that our contract is over and I have to leave. Because I can't say I fall for him in these six months but I can say I fall more and more everyday for him. I loved him before I even met him. I have finished writing my letter and put that half wet letter, my fake marriage ring and a box in which I have put the gift I wanted to give him. I picked my luggage and for the last time looked over the room in which I have so much to remember, memories I can live my life with cherishing in my heart. I let out a heavy sigh and left the house.

Priyadarshini's p.o.v-

I am Priyadarshini Majumder Sen, 28 years old Indian precisely a bong girl. Already married once previously and had a son of 3 years. Yes I am a mother too but divorced now and gave the custody of the child to my ex husband, Akash Sen. Akash and I were high school sweethearts, going strong together until a tragedy happened in my life and my life took an unexpected turn. My dad unexpectedly met with a fatal accident and passed away. Me and my brother became half orphaned and my mother became totally lonely. I was still in college completing my honor degree in Indian classical dance, I was in last year. I took a year of coz internally I was devastated but didn't show it for the sake of my mother and my brother. My brother works for a small company so we somehow manage to survive. After completing my degree next year I also started working for a small company but as my mother was the sole guardian of us she always used to be very stressed about my safety and dignity so she wanted me to get married. At first Akash's parents were not ready for the marriage but later they understood our situation and we got married. I am a talented dancer so I started to teach dance. But after marriage I came to know that his parents don't want their daughter in law to work. They want me to concentrate on the house, not on my career. But still I continued. I will not say that Akash was also against but never showed any interest in this matter. He became very careless. It's not like he was cold but not the heart warming husband that I wished for or expected.

I was already on the verge of depression. I understood that I needed help as I was slowly losing myself and my emotions. But I didn't have the courage to say anything as it is considered as a "taboo" to have a mental issue. I was losing interest in everything. I also was slowly falling out of love with Akash. I thought that maybe everything is becoming monotonous, that's why maybe my love for him is becoming lifeless. That's when I thought about having a baby so the charm of our relationship will be back once again and that's when my son Aviksit came. But nothing had changed. I love my son wholeheartedly but I can't express or feel coz I am becoming numb emotionally. I don't know how to express myself anymore. I don't feel the urge to meet or even talk over the phone with anyone. I started avoiding everyone as much as possible. Working household chores and taking care of my son like a machine. It's not like I am blaming anyone or not a good mother but I lost the warmth within my heart. I haven't cried my heart out since my father passed away. I always have a problem when it comes to expressing my emotions. But after my father's death I just became numb and depressed.
