a cage of gold
Like most of the girls, Gauri was twenty two years old, an ambitious and hardworking girl. She used to live with her family that includes her parents, her younger brother and a grandmother.
Gauri wanted to be an independent woman both financially and emotionally as she had seen her mother since her childhood to be dependent on her parents initially and in laws lately. She was a student of law and a first year college student. Like any other girl, her eyes had seen so many dreams for the upcoming life.
But there can be nothing more uncertain than life itself. Sometimes what you have planned is exactly opposite of what is planned for you. Likewise, Gauri's family was a little conservative and strict.... Strict with their own rules and thoughts. They had their own plan for her that was going to give a new direction to her life.
What was that? How did Gauri deal with it? How her life appeared miserable to her in the beginning and nectar in the end.
Gauri in her college was doing great with her studies. She used to travel to her college with her friends in an auto rickshaw since the college was quite away from the place she use to live in. Her best friend was Naina and she was Gauri's neighbour too. Once there was a birthday party of a family friend of Gauri in the new model town, His father was invited with his whole family to attend the party that was in the very beginning of the upcoming month.
Gauri had a test in the college on the same day that they had to leave for birthday party. She was more willing to go the college instead of such family functions. But as her father insisted her to join them, she couldn't refuse and she had to leave the test and go.
