FATE ( A Short Story ) FATE : This is not the way I wanted my life to be. Never once did I even wonder about this present possibility. I grew up dreaming like any other girl about my goals and life partner and now , everything seems to have ended so soon ! I was in my intermediate when my father came to me oneday, only to show me a photograph of a stranger and tell, that in a month to come , I would be marrying him. I was not to question anything. I din't even know I should or I could. All I can tell you is that , my marriage dint make me happy. But I thought it was my duty to accept my fate and go with the flow and that is exactly how I got married at the age of 17 to a man aged 35 not once wondering if I deserved something better ! I was now a wife, whose duty it was to clean , cook and work according to her in- law's wishes. I did the same, not once complaining about my fate but accepting it . My In-laws where my superiors, who ordered me about the chores to be done and my husband was someone who loved my body more than me .
