I don't love u anymore

As one grows up, in the Indian subcontinent, marriages are arranged. This story revolves around a boy, who was immature enough to get married, shoved into the rat race of work and earning money and before he could realise his goals in life clearly, he was put into an arranged marriage. As years go by, he though bodily matured, but emotionally still a boy gets involved into alcoholism, smoking, women, gambling. He took his arranged marriage as part of life's adjustments. I don't love you anymore is contradictory as he falls in love with his wife past 25 years of marriage, whereby he realises, friends who seemed friends actually, were enemies in disguise.He goes for rehabilitation, due to alcoholic tendencies but does not recover. He does not succeed in business world and feels all these bad things that are happening to him is because of his wife. She is the greatest bad luck in his life is what he feels. He never loved his wife, from the first day of marriage, took her just for sexual needs, made her his 24*7 secretary, beat her to pulp due to alcoholism and frustration. But she never left his side. As years go by, he sees his wife as the only strongest pillar of his life. So when at the age of 60, he thinks of telling her his true feelings for her, his wife says that she has moved on in life. Now that her children are grown up, she is tired of his bickering and fights. She confessed, I don't love u anymore and goes to enrol in an old age home, to live a life without any pain and emotional struggle. Even when you look at the book cover of two ducklings, here in this book, looking at opposite directions, this also has a lot of significance, as per the storyline. Both are in the same pail, as in marriage, at a young age, tied to the family, but both looking in opposite ways. One into family bond, taking care of in law's, children, daily grocery shopping, cooking and doing all household chores. The other has his life outward bound, partying around, drinks and friends, women, gambling, earning money and travelling distant lands, passports filled with visas of countries around the world, no strings attached to the family. As years fly by and things don't change in the scenario, the wife at old age walks out of marriage, to lead a life as per her choice, at 62 years, the man has now stabled up and looks forward to live his old age along with his wife, but here is the cliche, she simply walks out without looking behind to a life where she relentlessly always gave without any returns or favours asked. She walks towards an unknown voyage at old age where nobody expects anything from her and she does not expect anything from anyone, a house she would learn to call her home, an old age home..... This is my first attempt in weaving a story. I would appreciate for a genuine feedback from my supporters in the form of comments, votes and spirit stones. I was unwell for the past month and a half , so the speed has lessened, but I will not fail in weaving my thoughtsand pen them down at the earliest. Your genuine feedback will help spark my imagination.

The first look, sealed the fate

Ador, due to her charisma and wit, got her first job as Manager, Sales and Marketing in a pharmaceutical company, among the top 20, in the field. Her boss Ambar, was kind to her. He taught her the fineness and the loopholes in the role of a manager, and she grasped well.

In India, during the month of October, there is a big festival of Goddess Durga, worshipped by most of the Indian Hindu sect, as Navratri and specially in the eastern part of India as Durga Pooja.

During the four days of festivity, both d old and the young, plus children wear new clothes, eat good food and do a lot of pandal hopping in the day time as well as night, to see the Goddess and get mesmerised. Each neighbourhood has its unique themed pandal, where the deity is placed and worshipped. The most exciting part that people love about the Pooja is the light work at night and the creative skill of the artisans depicting the theme of their pandal. The street food during this festivity has a booming sale cause Indians love any type of lip smacking, tasty, spiced up food. There is competition amongst the pandal, as to which pandal is the best and the Municipal Bureau along with judges give award to the best themed pandal.

Adore got her first pay in the month of October and she decided to gift her parents, sister, cousins, Didun, Tukul and Ya, new clothes. During Navratri her parents came down from the hills and the entire family was engrossed in fun and frolic during the festive time.

On the tenth day of the festivity, in the matrimonial column came the advertisement wherein Bali, gave Dev's short resume of five lines.

" Wanted a Hindu Brahmin girl for 28 year old, 5'11" ,handsome boy, having his own Pharma business. Girl should be fair, slim, Brahmin, from good family background. Working women may also get preference, contact Box number 5409, Anandbazaar Patrika, Kolkata-1."

Anandbazaar patrika is one of the leading regional newspaper of Eastern India.

Tukul saw Kir reading the matrimonial site of the newspaper , and teased his brother- in- law intentionally, regarding Ador's marriageable age.

So just like that Kir wrote a few lines on Ador and gave his contact number at the end 033-51154995.

Three days later, a phone call came and an appointment for evening taken, for both families to meet at a restaurant, in the suburbs of the metropolitan city, Kolkata.
