Radhika was a beautiful young girl from a small village in India. Her parents arranged her marriage to a wealthy businessman, but she was unhappy with the match. She longed to marry for love, but her parents did not listen to her wishes.

On the day of her wedding, Radhika felt like a prisoner being led to her execution. She sat silently as the wedding rituals were performed, tears streaming down her face.

After the ceremony, Radhika was taken to her husband's home. But she was never accepted by her new family. Her mother-in-law made it clear that she was not the daughter-in-law they had wanted. Radhika was ignored and neglected, and her husband spent most of his time away on business.

One day, Radhika overheard her husband talking to his friend about their marriage. He said he had never wanted to marry her, but his family pressured him. Radhika was shattered.

She decided to leave her husband and start a new life. She packed her bags and left a letter for her husband, explaining her decision. She left without any regrets, knowing that she had made the right choice.

Years later, Radhika became a successful entrepreneur, and her business flourished. She was happy and content, living life on her own terms. She had never regretted leaving her husband and was grateful for the opportunity to follow her dreams.
