Brought into a new house, made it a home. Introduce to a new set of people, made them a family. Face all the hardships, learned living away from her parents and made every possible sacrifice. For what? To be treated like a slave? To be disrespected? To be broken so badly? That when few pieces of her are left unbroken, she starts feeling happy?
She didn't ask him to marry her, She didn't ask him to bring her to his home, she didn't once tell him to title her as his "WIFE". Did she want all this? Yes. Did she force him? No. All she ever expected from this man was love and happiness, not a penny more. And all she got? Lies, false commitments, and mere parasites eating upon her in the name of the family.
This man, who in the first place should not even be called a man, cheated on her, his wife. Not once, not twice but thrice, years after years creating a never ending vicious cycle of lies and cheating. What did she do? Waited, waited patiently, hoping a day would come when her man would come out of this havoc and come back into her arms.
She could have left, she could have fought but she didn't. Why? Because this man and his cannibalistic family filled fear in her soul. A fear so dark and deep that she feared speaking out her thoughts, giving her opinions, fighting for herself. She was a strong and independent woman, a woman who was once who was no less than art. How? She was a woman whose eyes lit up with joy even at the smallest of things. A woman who was fiery and calming at the same time, a woman who smelled of poetry and literature, a woman whose embrace felt like a trip to heaven, a woman whose smile and laugh brought a sense of fulfillment, and true happiness. Now tell me, what else would you say of her, if not art?
But those people mutilated who she was and made her life a hell she has no escape from, only till the day she decides to burn it down along with her culprits, who scarred her,
Lastly, do a favor and don't ever ask why she remained silent all these years, she was not silent by choice, she was silenced.
