Stand By Me - Part 1

Rohan and I have been married for a year now. Ours was an arranged marriage, love was absent so to start with. However, there was never a gradual chance of anything remotely linked to love happening between us.

Growing up in a small town, I was conditioned to believe that parents are the best people to find a match for you. All you have to do is follow them and get married, rest everything will work out.

No matter how smart or educated, you haven't achieved anything eventually if you don't qualify as a good wife, was my Granny's advice to me. I had just started college, still had three full years before the marriage circus premiered.

And then Rithvik happened. It started like love but ended with scars - physical as well as emotional.
