" HOW DARE YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME AGAIN?" He shouted. his grip on my hair was strong. " I WILL TIE YOU, DO YOU GET THAT?" I was shaking from fear.

****************************************

I was standing there in front of his house shivering as the december breeze hit me. I was trying to get hold of my heavy dress and the veil. A newly bride was not allowed the entry to enter the house. And that bride was me and i didn't know even the reason. Suddenly , the door opened and he was in his casual outfit as if we weren't married just 2 hours ago.

" You can come inside. But learn to be out of the fairyland. I don't want to be a husband that you have dreamt of. " he was looking straight as he told me all that. " you can't leave. i mean i don't like to let go of MY things ."

But i didn't dare look up. i can't leave him. i knew this thing . My parents are orthodox . They will kill me.

He went inside the house leaving the door open. And i slept on the couch.

I want to leave but i can't . My father is a very reputed priest and Sarpanch of the village and he will kill me rather than allowing me to divorce him. And here this man has other plans .

Oh God! what to do now??
