Jennifer could never imagine dreaming of such a lifestyle. Her husband had all the materialistic love showered upon her. The girl who once owned a couple of pennies to board a local bus, now has a contemporary, branded car to fulfill her extravagant demands. These demands were not fresh rather the seeds of it were sown right during her school days.

Rajan was a hard working mortal but not assiduous. He cared nothing but his false stature. So now you must be wondering how “good” their marital life would be going. But if you offer condolence to Jennifer then you are somewhere going wrong. You cannot clap with one hand. If Rajan was least bothered so was Jennifer, spending her lot in making herself look mesmerizing. Jennifer’s sky-touching ambitions made her land into this “legally approved” marriage.

“She was smart enough to want more but tired enough to accept the way things were.”

After two years of marriage Jennifer could not shut her eyes to Rajan’s behavior. “Is he having an affair?”, “Is he involved in something which is illegal?” Such questions overpowered her and she decided to hunt for the answers by herself. Suggestions were poured on her as she revealed her insecurity to others. Easiest option to get rid is divorce. “Will she do so?”

Few weeks later she robed herself with her elegant red saree with silver lining. She burdened her hands with gold-laden bangles topped with diamonds. After evaluating every part of her body in front of a dump piece of glass, she applauded her own vanity. She had finally decided to confront him and be straight. Just then her smartphone beeped and the news of his accident chilled down her spines. His soul had departed for heaven leaving behind his cold body. For a moment she felt like the chandelier above her, had fallen. She stood there puzzled, struck in a dilemma.

What about her questions, Who will answer them now, Will she ever come to know about the reality.
