She sat there quietly not knowing where her life was heading. This man who now was her husband had changed her entire life. He had killed her hopes and aspirations. Her future life was now in his hands. She knew coming from a male dominated society a woman was an object for a man. A woman always needed a man. But her brother, her loving brother doted on her. He knew the village ways were backwards. Hence he had allowed her to study and he had taught her everything himself after studying from the big city Delhi itself. Geet herself was not illiterate. This was the one thing Maan did not know. Geet was home schooled by her brother and he had taken her to examination centers in Delhi where she had got her certificates of passing her school years hence understood basic english. Her dreams to study further were halted. Her life was going to take the pleasant change. Her brother Tejinder Singh Handa had been in the city leaving Geet alone sometimes for months but always calling her. Leaving her in care of his neighbors, Suraj and Tanvi. A married couple who were Geet only friends. He had been planning to leave the city with Geet. He was going to sell the land and take Geet to the city for a better life but before he could convey that to her. Maan Singh Khurana had taken that happiness.
'eh hello sunno ladki' Maan said clicking his fingers bringing her out of his thoughts. His idea of Geet was a timid shy and scared girl who knew nothing about the city.
'jee' Geet said quietly because it was true she knew nothing she had no one. Her brother was with her when she came to the city before but she knew no one.
'ghar anewala hai. Aur tum meri marzi ke khilaaf ek awaaz bi nahi utowgi samji warna muj se bura koi nahi hoga' Maan said with authority like he owned her. He knew now that in villages the male owned the female.
'jee' Geet said seeing the strict tone and anger. She had never sensed this type of behavior before always getting love. She was alone with a man in a new city without anyone to call her own
