Tara Pov:
My life has been changed since that night in the restaurant. I have no idea what I should do next. Two days ago I was single. Now I am married. That too the person I love but I don't happy on this. He forced me to marry him.
I used my family to threaten me. At least if he said that he loves me I could have thought about marrying him. Yes, I am hell scared about his Mafia kinds of stuff. That doesn't matter when you love a person.
I don't know when I started to love him this much that I am ready to accept this dangerous life. Yesterday night I received a text from him. Somewhat I am happy but scared at the same time.
I am really scared of my life. He doesn't love me. I don't want to fall for him more where I can't hold myself. I feel like I am his new toy. Once he gets another toy he might leave me.
It hurts to know that I am just his toy. If he thinks of me as a toy why does he marry me? He said that he is serious about me but he doesn't love me. What on the earth does my life get into?
My sister came to my room to take her bangles which she has given me yesterday to wear. I look at her for a minute. This one question is roaming in my mind when I heard she is gonna get married.
"Anika, Can I ask you something?" I said
"Yes, Chinnu. You can ask me anything"
"Are you happy with this marriage? You don't even know him when you get married to him. You don't love him right?" I asked her.
Her marriage is purely arranged marriage by my family. My family doesn't oppose love marriages. They have given us full freedom to decide our life.
They always tell us that if you choose something for you then you should be brave to take responsibility for any problem you face.
She smiles at me and sits beside me. She holds my hand. "I don't love him before but I love him now. The way he treats me, respect me, and the way he is considered towards me makes me fall for him, Tara" she said
"That's after marriage. I am asking before marriage. You don't know him then how did you trust your life with him, Anika?" I asked her
She laughed and said "Okay, tell me one thing. You love Zale, before you love him do you know anything about him?"
"No, I don't know about him," I said looking down. Still, I don't know what he is capable of.
"You like something that makes you fall for him even you know that he has something you scare. But, you can break this relationship whenever you want. This is the advantage of this relationship" she continued
"Arrange marriage is similar to this. The only thing is your family will find your better half and after marriage, I am doing the same. I am taking the time to understand him. We are going on a date.
The thing is I can't break my marriage that easily. Here we have commitments, trust. I will do everything to work out this marriage. Till my last string falls, I hold unto it to make it work. if that string falls then everything falls. Like you say break up" she said
"So, you are saying arrange marriage is better than love marriage?" I asked her
"No, idiot. I am saying whatever marriage you do, you should put your hundred percent in your relationship. Marriage is a beautiful thing. It will work depending upon how you truly want the relationship to be with your partner. Not only you, but your partner should also give his hundred percent to build a beautiful future" she said
I nodded at her. "Thanks, Akka (sister)" I said and hugged her.
"Wow, you finally know that I am your Akka," she said and pinched my nose.
"Ouch!" I gave her a fake glare.
After our little talk, she went to her room. Tomorrow I need to leave. I sigh and lay on the bed. Should I give my marriage a chance or should I escape from his hold?
I remember my Amma used to say "Woman has the power to build a beautiful family and also, she has the power to break the family into pieces. A woman holds that power. So, if we use it wisely then our married life will be happier"
My mom is my good adviser. Because of her, I love this culture. I don't know if my decision is right or wrong. But, I have decided to give a chance to this marriage. Now that I am married to him, I should do something to give value to my marriage.
"I will make you fall for me, Zale" I smile at my thought.
She doesn't know that her Fate has other plans in her life. Not everything will go as we think.
