"How will you survive in your in-laws house?Your husband won't be as tolerant of your laziness as I am!I have never once in my life seen a girl like you.For your qualification,no engineer or IAS officer will marry you.They will ask tonnes of dowry too.Honestly,how did you come this far in life?Marriage is a huge responsibility.I am sure you will divorce your husband very soon.Or maybe he will leave you, who knows?Women are all like that.So naive.So stupid.And you are no exception.Your behaviour,your qualities are nothing like people say.Girls are soft-spoken, gentle and caring,not cruel like you.You are a living contradiction! Boys are negligent.They don't care about parents. I never opened my mouth to speak in front of my dad!How dare you give me your opinions!Did I ask you for one?...."
Aisha stayed quiet.She cringed,his words caused the disgust.Her father kept talking.It wasn't a new thing in her house.As usual, her mother too was silent,chopping vegetables,not even looking in the direction where her husband sat.
From the moment she said she wants to go to another country for her studies,he began his prolonged discussions or rather one sided 'conversations'.She didn't understand why he picked her marriage as the topic now.
He suddenly got up,and hit her mother across her face."You are the reason for this!You spoilt her,never asked her to do any chores.Had you been more like me,she wouldn't have turned out like this."
Aisha was stunned by what she saw.She still didn't say a word,but was seething.This is it.This has to be the moment.
His hand rose into the air again,but it was stopped by hers.Her icy stare sent shivers down her mother's spine.So many years of anger unleashed,she gave him a murderous look.He was clearly taken aback.
"I have a job.I am working as a freelancer.I have my own dedit card.I earn my own money,enough for me and maa.I want to make my loved ones proud,not you."She said,coldly,looking into her dad's eyes."You are uninvited to our house.It's my queendom,I was busy building my empire.Thank you for nothing,Goodbye forever."
