I am done with this", she declares."You are no one to decide over this.Got it? It is my decision.Just mine."He shouts at her.She keeps quiet and walks away.

He knew she was hurt.

They were so much in love till the past few months.They were the best couple in the whole apartment till those past few months.All of it, suddenly vanished because of his family.

For them, she is an adamant Indian woman who stepped into this vast brutal system of marriage accidentally.She now realises that the wedding is unfit for her.

Not because she hates him.Not because she hates his family.It's because she is forced to throw her dreams as far as she could.It's because she has to hide her true self to provide the best happiness in his home.It's because she is of tired because of the sweat the mask she wore left on her face.She is tired of making him understand.

She badly wants to run away.But is not able to. The more she convinces to run away, the more she is drawn back into her marriage, him and his family.

At last, she realises that she is not a princess as in her father's castle.She is every other Indian girl struggling everyday.She realises dreams are only for princesses not for ordinary women.So, she buries every drop of her dream into her pillow every night.She thinks it will take a long time. Although she knew she had already mourned for the dead princess inside her.
