Manju's mom, her happiness knew no bounds. This was the day her little girl was getting married. The little girl she saw crying the day her father left them alone. Both hugged each other to assure their support. She was so happy that the day finally arrived to have a timid little shy girl become a wife, a daughter in law. She has been alive to see this day come along.
Manju got married and was happy, her life had taught her struggle, she knew sadness and hard work. But life didnt gift her luxuries without the price tag. Her husband was rich and the house had every luxury money could buy. However the husband wanted a wife who can be displayed as a trophy, and who can be at his service like a maid. Manju was the right match. She obeyed every command without a word and did everything that was asked. She also smiled on every function and dressed her best on a party. She knew her diamonds and her gold. But she never forgot the bed tea at 6. Years passed by, she had kids and she taught them well. She taught them to respect women, both her sons were patient and obedient, they knew elders should be respected. They didn't argue on if they deserved it. Manju had served her husband well, and now the husband had passed his boiling blood and become a matured individual who loved his kids and knew its only because of his wife that all this family had stayed together. He had a guilt for treating her bad for years. However he had a ego that didn't let him accept that guilt. After 15 years of their marriage, Manju was the final word, she had a smile before saying yes. She never held any arrogance, every elder in the family blessed her, and all the young once loved her. She had smiles all her life from there. But they were not free. She had held her breath for 15 years to get these smiles today, what made it possible for her. When her husband treated her badly, she said to herself, "I have to keep this family together". When he took her as a trophy wife. She said , "I am his pride and no one should think bad about my husband". What did she do when she got upset. She didn't let tears come through. She only thought, "its my family, and who will scold me if not my husband, I will just try and do better next time".
Normally people call this a typical Indian women, However only this typical Indian Women can create families and a good foundation, it is her hard work that makes it all possible. It is this women's sacrifice that makes it all happen. Her tears form the foundation of a family. It is no once job, no one except for this Typical Indian Women can make it happen
Rita and her mom spoke on the phone after 2 years and both broke down in tears, her mom asked one question at the end of it. Why did you have to do all this. "We only wanted what was good for you", She agreed without a word and said, its true I should have listened to you. I should have married the one you selected for me, instead of running away like this.
Rita her left home with a bag full of clothes and a face with attitude, her father warnings and mother tears meant nothing to her, Amar and Rita did a court marriage on the same day, Rita as decided took up her job and Amar continued his work. They rented a flat and started to set up their house. Days passed by in love and happiness, the no mattress in the beginning did not seem a pain as they both were in love. Rita didn't cook and Amar didn't mind as they both were in love. Weekend were in restaurants. The house was partially clean and she was lying down every morning after Amar got up. Amar and Rita had smiles on their face. Amar didn't say much and the less talking turned in silence days and stretched to silence nights. Rita didn't bother and started being distance from Amar, they didnt discuss anything, as they Rita never felt an issue. She arrogance and ego knew no borders. Now she was upset as there was no TV and she was upset that the mirror was small. The bathroom was small, and water only came for a few hours. The arguments started and she realised Amar was angry because she didn't do any work at home, because she was not cleaning, cooking, washing. She immediately kept a maid, and assumed the problem was solved. However there were times when she realised she was over shadowing Amar too much and he felt like her pet at times. Rita got depressed by the minute and fought back like a tigress and reminded Amar, how he never got tired of praising her before marriage, and now he wasnt doing enough. They were not spending enough time, He wasnt making enough calls as before. He wasnt paying attention to her. Amar said he has to work, he doesnt have that much time, and now they were married there was no need for that that anymore. Days passed by, she realised Amar thought she was the one who wanted to get married and everything that held them together, started breaking down.
2 years of marriage, had its moments but life was not as they had known it. There was debt and Rita felt Amar didn't make enough money. Amar felt Rita was not a wife. She still wants to stay as a girl friend.
This is 5 out of 10 love marriages, why this happens is because after marriage, reality hits people and love like a vapour blows away. Real life comes in places where love was place before marriage. Had Rita chosen to work on her marriage as Manju. Life would have turned its course on her as well. Reason being her hard work would have been flourished with their pre existing love, and that love would have become real life love from the infatuation it was before marriage. But people fail to see this, they feel love will feed them and love with fill them. Hardwork is what makes every marriage a good marriage. Its not about the type of marriage you have, it can be love marriage it can be arrange marriage, the important word here is marriage. Marriage is a union of two unknown beings from two separate section of one spices. One is a male and other is female. Both don't have the same habits. By rule of thumb there will be friction, however what love does is love makes you work hard for the person you love. In an arrange marriage love is assumed. You are suppose to love the person you marry. In love marriage, the problem is you expect and you have a lot of expectations that you want fulfilled because you gave love to this person
Just give it a little time, All marriages work, one has to work on them
