My marriage was an arranged one with future in laws asking for a lump sum dowry.Till the last 2 weeks of marriage they gave a good image as sweet people and then asked for dowry .My father some how managed to give that.
From the day one they kept on taunting to get more from my parents i.e dowry in what ever items they can like furniture, dresses etc.My family kept on giving them. Fed up with their taunts and greediness , I went back home ,only to return when I got the green signal to join husband abroad.
On reaching back the in law home which I affectionately call THE DRACULA's BUNGALOW ,they continued their crap of insulting , taunting etc.They made me go back home to get a gold chain which I left at home .Those days of torture ,sleepless nights makes me weep even now.
After reaching UK , I thought will change my husband's greediness, help him to be a good human being.Past 1.5 yr I kept on advising him to change his cannibal ways of life , to respect fellow beings, care for others, be polite etc.
Yesterday on the day of our wedding anniversary ,I knew my past 2 yrs had gone waste.He was sitting in front of the desk counting the gold ornaments that I had got ,turned and said you didn't give me the said amount.I sat crying into my blanket remembering the words he had once spoken when I told his parents treatment towards me....
" I didnt marry you for the gold and I don't care about it"
Now I knew somethings cannot be changed!!!
