After an year her husband went to delhi to asked Sarita to came back along. She was so innocent and forgivable that she got ready to come back in this hope that from now onwards her husband will take care of her. But this was not true. Life was again harsh for her. When she came back her elder son refused to come to her because her grandmother taught him that your mother left you alone over here and other negative things. It is easy to change child's mind and that is what she had done. Sometime later they took away her second son too. Now she was all alone. Her husband came only at night. Was this the only thing for which a person gets married ? What about one's other responsibilities towards his kids and wife? She was totally broken and shattered at that time.
Sarita used to awakened at 5 am by her mother in law and made to do the household work till 11 pm. She was not allowed to take rest or anything. It was a big joint family and their relatives (30-35 people) used to live along with them so it was her duty to make food for all of them for three times, to clean the house, to wash their clothes , to the kitchen work all alone. This was not the life she dreamt of and this was not the right way. The girl who was born and brought up in Delhi (metro city ) came in a small village...what did she expect? nothing more than a loving husband and care from her mother in law, but alas she got NOTHING.
By continous mental and physical torture she became very weak. Her in-laws used to beat her in front of her own kids. Her two brother in laws once beat her so brutally ..they pulled her from her hairs and dragged her on the brick floor by which the skin of her back ripped off and then they locked her in one room .
After that she decided to live separately in the same house. She got one room and kitchen on the first floor. God only knew how did he make her. She still had some hope that things will go fine . She used to live alone in that room. Her kids were kept by her mother in law and they were not permitted to meet their mother. Her only hope was her unshaken trust on almighty God . Still she made to work by her In-laws ,though she was living separately. She was like a servant or slave for them . 13 years passed like this ... unending torture by her In- laws.
After some time she came to know about her third pregnancy . She started praying to God that she wants a Girl child. She went to Delhi for her delivery .

Sarita was made to get married in 1975. Her parents did their best for the marriage arrangements. She must have thought that life would be the same or might even be better there that it was at her parents house. But life has its own harsh ways. On the very day of her marriage while on the way to her new home with in-laws, her mother in law started cursing about the dowry and also started complaning about the arrangements etc. This was her first step outside her parent's house and the kind of treatment she got shattered her. Her husband whom she found to be handsome by looks did not support or even try to console the young girl who had to listen to such curses on the very first day of her new life. Life ahead was the similar as the way she was treated on the first day. She was always discouraged and ill-treated by her in-laws. And she being a good girl, like her mother might have taught never complained and waited for the things to get right . It was her daily routine to get ill-treated by her mother in law and brother in laws. They used to beat her for no god sake reasons. Her mother in law kept all the eatable items , milk and the items of luxury soap etc hidden from the newly wed wife. She was not allowed to go out of the house, her in-laws said it was not a part of their traditions. Once she asked for a permission from her mother in law to go to temple with his husband. Her mother in law refused it. When Sarita tried to talk to her husband regarding it , then he slapped her. Her mother in law took all new saris ( dresses ) and ornaments of sarita. Again if she ever requested to go out with her hubby to anywhere she was beaten by her evil mother in law.
After one year her first son was born. Her mother in law always kept her busy in household works and she was not allowed to carry her little child even if he was crying or hungry. Things went bad and bad every single day. Was getting married is the only thing ?? What about the responsibilities towards the bride?? She leaves her home and everything and expect good things, but here what did sarita get ? Disappointment , physical and mental harrasment all the time, lack of support from her husband???? She was not even allowed to meet her parents.
Somehow once she managed to write a letter to her parents and her father came and enquired about everything, the In-laws then promised not to do anything bad to her. And like any other father he went back. Her parents just like her were very simple and not that clever and did easily get into the talks of her in-laws.
In 1978 her second son was born. The conditions got worse. They took away her first son and locked her in one room. Her father came to know about her condition and this time he took her along with him and her 2nd kid. Her In-laws kept the first kid with them forcefully. She moved to delhi and joined a job there. Things were going good, as did not had to go through the daily sufferings which had become a part of her life at her in-laws house. Once again she started living her life in a good way. But something else was in her fate....
