My Decision: The Rich Man’s Daughter’s Story #2
Where the creditors have taken her, according to the report they
Have heard, she is being maltreated there, and has lost her beauty because
Of the maltreatment as if that is not enough, sometimes the creditor
Do have carnal knowledge of her. They do not want this to continue
With their daughter, they have made appeal to the creditor, to take them
Instead or take over their company for it is better to return to their penury
Status than hear those things they were doing to their daughter happening
To her, but those people would not listen to him, because what was in
Their agreement was that their daughter would bear the brunt if they could
Not pay back their loans as at when due. When those people heard this,
They do not want to become a slave with someone whom they do not know
And who would maltreat them for that length of years. They started saying
To themselves that who told them that they would also not be rich?
Why are they focusing her? If they work hard, they would also be rich
While some say, they do not know that her parents were not wealthy
That the fulcrum of their wealth hinges on loans from different places
How would they give their lives for hers, and for all you known given their
Lives, the maiden may again turn back and say they do not love them again
With this and many excuses, all of them concluded that if they could
Use that years to serve themselves, before the maiden gets back they would
Have become rich, or at least contented themselves. Thus, none of them
Returned to tell her parents of their interest in the maiden again.
Having screened all out, the father asks her to continue to live with
His mother, while they hope for something positive. It was when she
Was living with her grandmother that she finds someone to be
Married to. The person was a laborer employed by one of the farmers
In the village, while discharging his duties one day, he saw the
Lady and takes interest in her, and that was how they started.
He did not know about her father’s wealth, all he knows was that
She lives with one old woman who is averagely okay. Whenever
They are talking she would be complaining about how her
Grandmother used to maltreat her, and would say creditors have
Taken away her father when her grandmother could not repay her
Debt. Her mother has to leave her when she cannot withstand
How her grandmother was treating her to go and work in another
Village to raise money with her father to quickly pay the loan
And the man be freed, and they would be living together as family
Again. The man would feel sorry for her and would say fate has
Destined that to happen and she should keep enduring. She never left
Her some other things she does to push him away never pushed
Him away. And her grandmother from her experience discovers that
The man really loves her, that was when they invited him when her
Parents would be around, and they were married. After this person
Told this lady about this story, she started thinking about something
Like that, she has her life to live, and she must not marry a wrong man.
After serious thought she told her parents that she wants to live
For rural area where she will not be known by anyone and does not
Want to be attached to any member of the family until she gets a man
Who really loves her. Her father was happy for her decision, they
Took her to court to swear an affidavit of ownership of another
Papers for she would need that for other things that may require
Registration where she is going. Exceedingly early in the morning after
Everything has been concluded, she left for car park where she board
A commercial vehicle to another village extremely far away from her
Parents or those who may know her. When she gets to the place
She started seeking for where to stay. She told them she was from
An island close to her parent’s, and things have not been easy with
Her parents recently, and she decides to leave them to start her
Own life. People would point out that she should have stayed in
The island of her parents that she would secure clean jobs there,
