LIFE AFTER MARRIAGE OF AN UNEMPLOYED

The Evil Minded Kanba

Hearing about Karim's illness left everyone, including Ram, in a state of shock. He had just turned 48 years old. Discussions about Tanvi's misfortune took place in the village. What a pity! Poor Karim, Poor Tanvi, Poor Children—that girl is very brilliant. Who will take care of her studies? Who will help them? Only God can do miracles. Oh, God! Please be kind. Shower your blessings on them.

Sirus had promised Karim that he would guard Tanvi and his kids up until the day of his demise. "Are you sure about my death?" Karim questioned. No one can foretell the death of themselves or of others, Sirus informed him. Only God has the authority to decide. I hope for the best. I had to tell you that because I owe you and your family protection in any circumstance, no matter how dire. I am your older brother, too. I owe it to you, man.

Kanba, how about it? Since she is Karim's mother, everyone will assume that she will go insane. No, the situation was not like that.

When she learned of Karim's illness, she was the only one who laughed. She became such a wicked person. Only out of jealousy for Tanvi; she was so delighted to lose her son. "I have predicted this—that you will suffer one day," she stated to Tanvi. I truly wanted to see your tears, even the ugly ones that make me giggle uncontrollably and drive me insane. Thank God for putting my curse into action. This is my curse, and I will keep cursing you until I die. Get lost.

She firmly retorted to Kanba, "You will also have to suffer for all of this. You will never laugh again. I'm going to curse you for your mistakes. You might have to count down your good days because they will soon pass away and you will have to deal with misfortune. This is because you are a poor lady with a broken heart, and you will suffer as a result of your misdeeds towards your son and daughter-in-law. One day, perhaps, you will have to rely only on me for your survival and day-to-day life, and I can picture you in anguish...

"Get lost. This is my house. You have nothing. We have given you nothing. You get out. Get out of my house," yelled Kanba, becoming enraged.

Who are you to tell me to leave my residence? Tanvi retorted. I am formally married. This is my husband's home. We have no way out of this place. You can file a lawsuit and find out who will prevail. You have made extensive use of my goodness and frailty. Time has since changed; I've got time. I'll be residing here. You make every effort to eliminate me.

What else Tanvi can do? She had to become bold - the misery of the wife of an unemployed man.
