chapter 2: cruelty ..

We all know we call this world a "fast-growing world," and it is indeed; but I think even if this world grows to become very powerful, there are some things they will never control or change in every human's thinking, nor for any particular person.

There are always both good and bad people around our surroundings, and it is our fate to accept them as friends, partners, or in some other relation, and then we leave them too after spending some time with them when we come to know that person is not good for us and move on in our lives.

Or perhaps they are close enough to us that we don't even choose to leave them, because in that relationship we don't even have other choices to avail.
But there's always a way, though no one teaches us or tells us that there's a way too. Even if someone tells us and guides us, by the time we reach that point, we don't have the strength and courage to do it.

So you wait for good days with continuous struggling but in a wrong way.
And yes, that relation is somehow between parents and their children or a wife and her husband.
The world is educated way more now than in our past years, but some people still believe in old rituals, and in this way some races are still on the line of destruction because of a single wrong person.

And that relation is a husband-wife relation or a parent-child relation; bad parenting and a bad partner can ruin everything and lead to massive destruction, and it changes the lives of many in different ways.

There was a small town, and the people who lived there were also very kind-hearted and beautiful.
There was greenery all over the houses. They had their own cultures and traditions, and it was the late '90s.

There was a house in the town, a small house; there lived a happy family (a father, mother, and their six kids).
It was a normal day in their lives, and at 4 p.m., one of the friends of the kids' father came to visit him.

They served him tea and some biscuits. The father and his friend had a good conversation; later, that friend revealed the main reason for his visit: he had a marriage proposal for his elder daughter.

He pulled a photo of a man from his wallet and asked the father to call his wife because it was something important.

He called his wife, and the three of them discussed the whole thing about the proposal. Actually, the family of the man had lied about everything.

The man who was about to give their father a marriage proposal, they lied about his age, status, and nature.

So the father and mother agreed to that proposal, even though their daughter's age was not even for marriage; she was only 16 years old. But her parents thought it was the right decision, so they said yes.

And it was the time when daughters were happy with their parents' decisions.
They didn't even know what the right decision was, and no one guided them, and she was at an age where she didn't even know the meaning of the word "MARRIAGE."

After a month, both the man and the girl married (the man was actually 38 years old).

Their age gap was 22 years; she was just 16, and he was 38 when they got married.

Married life was already a struggle for her.
