ADITI POV:
All of you must be thinking about me.. Like - what the hell is happening here and who is this girl roaming around.. What is happening with her life and why?
Myself Aditi Rai, now I am 26 years old. I belong from a Brahmin family.. Well Now I am an orphan as I am legally kicked out of my house and family, and also abandoned from my family and property. As this act is done by my father and as a result he himself declared me as Orphan after the day of my marriage and I was asked to sign the papers, which declare that I'll no more be a part of this family and things/property belonging to them, and I won't have any right to go back to them once I'll leave this house after my marriage..
Also If I tried to contact with any of my family members I'll have to take approval from the court for the same, I am not allowed to go near my home at my hometown..
Well, you can say that from past few years- maybe like from last 3 to 4 years (approximately) my life has never been as easy as it looks..
But if from now. I talked about 1.5 years ago, there was still a lot of hope in my life when my marriage was fixed with a stranger and I was asked to accept this as my destiny, and if I talk about now, I am a freelancer, working in the cyber security chain profile and taking advantage in earning money as I have a good knowledge and command over cyber networking and hacking...
I am thankful that I am able to do my PH.D regular from Central university of Karnataka, Bangalore.
So If I talk about my career, it's completely smooth and I am loving it because whatever I am doing is the same which belongs to my Passion..
As, a PhD in mathematics was a dream for me which I wanted to make true for myself.. Well I tried hard to get into IISC Banglore, but couldn't make it, because the interview level was very tough.. But you can say that I was very hard working and as a result of that I was able to go to IIT Delhi, and could have taken admission there, but I didn't have courage to go back to Delhi after all, I had decided to get rid of from all my past which is connected to Delhi and at that time it was a big needed change for me to start everything in a new city.
So somehow I manage to crack the exam and interview here through CUCET in CUK, and I am really happy about it..
Also to continue PhD from a good university it requires courage to face the toughest interview, and also requires a lot of efforts, which somehow I managed to do, but the important part was how I am gonna make money for my living, as I was getting a PhD scholarship... But was not sure If I'll be able to make it..
So I started working as a freelancer and as I had never been in working in such a custom of only work from home on projects and go and look for online work and all, so I thought that I won't get any opportunity, and may face problems.. But it worked well, I started getting projects over there and started earning well, and in starting it takes more than expected effort and hard work too, but along with time it only gave me benefit so I made a team of 5 people thinking it should work very well, and believe me it really did, I was hell excited from the starting the day I got all these 5 member Team of -KASAMS which include -
Karthik, Aditi (Leader), Suraj, Aarushi, Manyata and Sagar. Now my team is a famous one as we have created few strategy that how we will work with the client and how much client we will work at a time.. All of us together takes decision, we are equally participating in decisions and have two straight rules -1. One for all and all for one, 2. No work without trust, if any client will show any kind of trust issue, we will cancel our contract with the client.
It's so much turning point I have seen till so far... The first horrible thing that I saw was the life of my sister after marriage and then the pressure of my marriage, then my arrange marriage and then today again I dream of becoming a bride which was a crime more than a dream..
Sometime I thought that how cool it would have been if I don't exist.. But you can't change as the fate is written with the list of karma you provided to it.. Sometime I remember how cool life I had 3 to 4 years ago.. But that one incident changes so many lives...
FLASHBACK STARTS:
Around three Years Ago:
Author's POV:
Aditi belongs from a Brahmin family and she was the youngest one in siblings. Her brother was the eldest one in all the siblings, then she had two elder sister before her. Her father was a businessman, not a big one, but their family was called in upper middle class not in rich one. Her father was a very hard working person from the start and he made all by himself. In that small city they had a good reputation and everyone always praised Aditi's father hard work and the way he did things like giving opportunity to girls equally and value the same education as boys were a big thing in society that too from belonging from an orthodox family and in a small town. So Aditi and her sisters always respected these things made by her father. Whereas on the other hand, her Brother Ajay always believed that this is his right and what his father did was nothing more than completing his responsibility, same thing goes with his wife Nalini bhabhi. She always believed that whatever money her father-in-law spend on her sister-in-laws that was completely the waste of wealth, and if this has already been done, then her sister in laws should never ask money or should not be given any % of the property.. As when Ajay Bhaiya got married till then Aditi eldest sister (After Ajay) Sandhya, was already having her good life with her husband and in laws, and her father had given some small plot (land) to her as a git near his factory..
Since she had some bad time during her pregnancy and her marriage was arranged so her father took it as his own responsibility and do this thinking good for her future purpose. But later things got resolved in her in-laws family and she is a happily married woman now.
After that Ajay Bhaiya got married and slowly Nandini bhabhi started interrupting in the decision of her father in law, when it came to sending Aditi and her 2nd eldest sister (Shuchi) to send out of station for study together.. She was not ready to accept this and keep on asking for them to deny this plan because for her it was a matter of money which will be spent on their studies for Aditi- going for engineering admission, though she got seated in a government college, and Shuchi got selected in reputed institutes through CAT examination. But somehow Aditi parents along with Aditi Brother took a decision that they (Aditi and Shuchi) should go and study further and there are some rules that have to be followed as per their pride and both of them can take it as - it will be counted as the return price of their studies.
Aditi and Shuchi did as per their parents wish, and after the completion of their studies, first Shuchi got a job in an MNC in Delhi and then after completing engineering Aditi also settled in an IT software industry in Delhi with her Shuchi di.
Now, as it became a big issue for Nalini bhabhi so she clearly mentioned that they will be restricted from giving any other property value like land or money or anything.
Their marriage will be final and last thing that will happen as expenditure. No one in the family had any issue with that..
Now came the time for searching groom, Nalini bhabhi again set another plan of saving money and that was Shuchi's marriage.. Well, Since Sushi was not so beautiful and not fair like her elder and younger sister, so she knew that she has to go through it..
When it's been quite a long time for her parents searching groom, but couldn't find a suitable match. So finally a family with good reputation came into the picture and ask for less dowry, which was accepted by Shuchi Family and this alliance was firstly asked from the groom's side - Dikshit family, so no one can deny the offer.
So Aditi family accepted this alliance and announced the marriage to be taken place asap. Aditi found it suspicious as it seems to her that her father is taking a decision in a fast forward manner which was not good, but no one listens to her.. After some time the marriage takes place and Aditi attended the marriage, but found that the groom - Vinay Dikshit was not at all good in behavior towards girls/females.. She found his gaze all time with her while marriage rituals take place.. But she was helpless to do anything and had to accept this as a fact that this guy is going to be her brother in law.
