Episode 1

...****************...

...... (Author's POV)......

What actually is happiness. Is it, something you feel when you get something you have always desired or Is it something you feel when your loved one has got something that they have desired even at the cost of abandoning you?No one knows what's actual happiness. Do we feel when we are happy or we feel, orhen our loved ones are happy. Nobody knows the correct definition.

In a small city in a great country but full of monsters ,India,a girl was born to a couple who had an arranged marriage and a huge age gap.

The couple never loved each other but still as during this period in INDIA huge age marriages and arranged marriages are common so they were married despite them hating each other.

As you all must have known during this period of time people used to have big families and lots of kids. So this couple also came from big families. Mr. Ram lal had 6 brothers and 2 sisters and Mrs. Darshana kumari had 4 sisters and 2 brothers. As girls were treated as a burden during the initial years (19s) so Mrs Darshana family made her marry at the early age of 15 to a man double her age (26) . So no doubt the girl will feel resentful ,but she can't do anything other than sacrificing her life.

After 2 years of their marriage in November 1984,

They had a beautiful girl. Their relationship was also going well They used to live in a joint family of 30 people approx. Her husband despite being big was good to her and supportive of her. They named the beautiful girl "Neena".

Neena had a good life .She was the oldest among her cousins and her parents also loved her very much . She was happy as a baby should. But happiness doesn't stay long. Soon the joint family split as every person started earning and the place was too small for all. Neena's family to shift. But all brothers live nearby in a community only. Her father built the house on his own in a jungle type area. Soon they started living in their small but beautiful place. Her mother started working. She raised cows and hens for selling milk and meat. Her mother loved this newly founded happiness. Her father was a truck driver,so he had to stay away from home sometimes.

Soon they welcomed a baby boy in their life.They named the boy "Vikrant". Neena was four years old, and now she is a big sister and the four started living their life peacefully. But peace doesn't stay long does it.Soon the young Neena of age 8 started noticing changes in her mother who started working in a factory from the last 2 years. She noticed her mother coming late, not paying attention to them, going outside even on Sundays, waiting for her father to go to work and fighting with her husband. Nothing can stay hidden for long is it. One day when she was going shopping for groceries with her mother, a strange man started talking to her mother, the things she didn't understand at that time. The man upon noticing her patted her hair and said hi kid how do you not be afraid I am like your father and her mother was smiling. She felt uncomfortable,, but her mother didn't comfort her instead told her to be good to that man. She stood still as her mother talked to that man. Then after sometime her mother told her to buy on her own and then go home, she needs to go to work.

Neena obeyed her mother.

Now started the series of her traumatic life where she started losing her trust in marriage. Fights become their permanent guest. Seeing your parents fight in front of you hurts right. Seeing people say bad things about your mom hurts right. Her mother being just 24 years old made many immature decisions. Neena saw how her mother would fight with her father then go to her mother's home leaving her children. Then grow a mother in the heart of a small girl of tender age 10. She without any guidance as at that time there was no YouTube started cooking just by remembering how her mother used to cook. She made pretty good food for her siblings a 6 years old brother and 2 years old sister named Arti kumari, right she had a sister too since 2 years despite having rifts a married couple can't stop producing kids right. Furthermore, she became mature at the tender age of 10 she started cooking which no one taught her she learned her own, she used to do all household chores, take care of two children and when her father comes back from long work trips she used to make food for him and take care of him too. Furthermore she even used to take care of her mother who used to come back from 1 or 2 months from her mother's home.

Fast-forward to 4 years, situations just got worse,so she started shopping for daily supplies. She became independent. She started learning how to do makeup to earn money. When she was 14, a big fight occurred in their family in which her father accidentally pushed her mother, her mother blamed him and started slandering him in front of all for martial abuse. It broke their family more. After all compromises , and her father begging on knees , it was decided they will live in a home but separately. They won't ever interfere in each other's matters.

Thus, started a wishful thinking and wish in her heart for having a normal and loving family of her own.

...****************...

Let's see if her wish will get fulfilled or not.

Comment your thoughts on this. I did the childhood story in brief as I thought it would be boring to stretch but I will write more childhood scenes in future as the story progresses.

The next chapter will start the love journey of Neena.

This story is going to be a short story for like 10 chapters. It is not a story written for popularity or fame or anything. Just for personal satisfaction.

This story will be completed till 15th Feb 2025 , if you wanted to read in one go .
