Shades Of Thirteen

A Try - X

Naina's POV:

Dad: Naina stop, I SAID STOP...

Me: Silently crying and looked back at Dad.
Bobby: Don't you dare to listen your Dad Naina, say sorry to everyone. You are going to stay with me and my family not with your Dad and D.

Dad: Naina stop I said, you have no need to say sorry or doing this rubbish things by touching their feet's.
Bobby, don't forget my daughter is not yet an orphan, I am still alive. She is your wife, treat and respect her like a wife and not a slave.
Who did this sort of behaviour with a five days old bride Bobby, disgusting.

Bobby: Suddenly (behaving like he got some avenger powers) replied to Dad, she did wrong and she has to ask sorry. Or if she and you will not obey to us, then you can take your daughter permanently back to your home.

Dad: Naina, get up & stop this nonsense right here, and let's go back home. You need not to stay in this pathetic family. All are uneducated filthy people.

Me: But Dad,
Dad: Stopping me in between, no more if and but, leave this place and come with me. You can't stay here, they are monsters, insane and inhumane. I am telling you Naina, don't worry about anything, anyone or society, I am here with you, I will face all, I will protect you, don't think about anything Naina, it's not too late beta. Before it's too late leave him and his family.

Sister in law no 3: Yes yes, happily take your daughter back from here, no one will stop you and my brother will also get rid of this burden.

Dad: What ? What just have you said? Burden ? Are you for real ?
My daughter is a burden for you all just within five days of marriage???
Naina do you think this family will keep you happy life long who already have started considering you as a burden ?
What you're thinking Naina, let's go. I will not let you stay here with this family.

I stood up after touching everyone's feet's, wiped my tears and was standing silent.

Me: (Thousand of thoughts, negative and positive and consequences of every word was boggling in my mind, I replied) "No Dad, I will not come with you".

May be unintentionally, but I have hurt them all, by locking the wardrobe and may be I shouldn't have done this.
And you and Maa only taught both of us sisters no (me and D) that, when you're wrong don't hesitate to say sorry but if you're not then never bend down.

So I am wrong today and if saying sorry by touching their feet's is something that gives them satisfaction, I am OK with it. Anyways they all are elders, touching their feet's are blessing only Dad.

I touched Dad's feet's too and with tears in eyes I said him, go back Dad, I will not come with you. It's a marriage, that too five days old, I can't break it. I want to give a chance to this marriage.

Dad: Mark my words today Naina, you will regret this decision one day, these people will never love or respect you neither they will consider you as their family members. They've already started treating you as their servent.
They all will kill you everyday slowly slowly.

I am still saying you Naina, come with me beta. You can't survive here.

Naina: No Dad, let's see what God has wrote in my fate, I want to see what next I have to face.

Bobby: I guess this drama is sufficient for today. Your daughter is enough clear and confident with her statement, don't force her anymore. She will not go.

Sister in law no 3: How can one leave this rich life who have never experienced it before, she will never go leaving this relished life back to that dark poor life with you uncle (sarcastically with Dad), better you go home back alone.

Dad: Silently looked at me for few second and left Bobby's house without wasting one more minutes.

I was seeing Dad going towards the gate, leaving me behind and was silently saying him sorry. I was so happy seeing my Dads concern for second time in life and equally sad for disobeying his words. When I know all his words were true and I was aware about that brutal truth that this marriage will not be the "Happy Marriage" or I will never be happy with this family or with Bobby.

Knowing all consequences too well, still I can't take any chances to become a burden to my parents anymore. Entire society will question them what happened, within a week of wedding you bring your daughter back home? Did she have done anything wrong? She will get divorce with Bobby ?
What you will do or how you will face this world with this divorcee girl ? Do you think anyone will marry her back ?

No one asked those questions to me, but suddenly I am become more mature and my brain was feeding these genius questions when Dad was asking me to come with him. It was no one else but was Me VS Me...

I was only thinking what the entire world will think about me, they all will say, I can't adjust with my in laws or I am not a good wife? Have I even tried to change myself for them? Have I tried to accept this marriage or haven't I took decision so impulsive?

From childhood I was deprived from father's love just because I was not a lucky daughter for him like D.

Now society and family members will believe and tagged me neither I am good child, neither a lucky daughter and nor a good wife.

I didn't wanted this tag on me at any cost. I want to prove this world that I am a good human may be I am not lucky. I was a good daughter and I will be a good wife too.

With this thought I wanted to fight but also my Naina-Brain was knowing that what misery's I have invited for my future.

That day, if I could only think about my future and my life, I might called a selfish girl,but I won't be living a life in limbo, if I could listened to Dad that day, my life wouldn't be this what I am living today.

If that day I have heard my inner feelings and listened to Dad then might be coming 9 years of life would not be that horrible and I have might not lived a life what a girl can't even imagine about,

But I did ...
