My Dreams, My Life

My Dreams, My Life Chapter 1 It was raining heavily. The dark clouds covered the whole sky. It felt as if the sky was crying, just like Saira. Today was the day that could change her entire life. The groom's family was coming to see her. But Saira did not want to get married. She wanted to continue her education. She wanted to become a doctor. That was her biggest dream. She had begged her family many times, but no one listened to her. Saira: "Mom... please listen to me just once." Mother: "Saira, I have already told you many times. I don't want to hear this again." Saira: "Please, Mom. I don't want to get married right now. I want to study. I want to build my future." Mother: "You are very lucky. You studied until FA. No other girl in our family was allowed to study after Matric." Saira: "But what is the difference? After FA, you are still forcing me to get married." Mother stayed silent for a moment.

Stop hoping for something that will never happen." Saira's eyes filled with tears. Saira: "Does no one care about my dreams?" Mother: "This is not the time to argue. Go and get ready. The groom's family will be here soon." She picked up a beautiful dress. Mother: "Wear this dress. It suits you. Put on a little makeup too." Saira: "Mom..." Mother: "Enough. Don't create a scene in front of everyone. Just get ready." Without waiting for another word, her mother walked out of the room. The room became silent. Only the sound of heavy rain could be heard. Saira slowly sat on her bed. Tears rolled down her face. Saira: "What should I do now?" "Should I fight against my family?" "Should I sacrifice my dreams?" "Or should I leave this house forever?" She closed her eyes. Saira: "God... please help me. I don't know which path is right." Just then... Someone knocked on the door...
