AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE...

The day she agonized ever since she was a young woman had finally come. It was her wedding day. For most, a wedding is a joyous occasion to celebrate the joining of two lovers. But for Kaminee it was a decision that was going to ruin her life. In the Hindu religion, all marriages were arranged. There was no such thing as a love marriage, but instead your parents decided who you were going to marry. Sometimes even before you were born.

The groom they picked for her was a wealthy man, with a high social status. He was a huge business tycoon, but his personality was horrible. He was a heavy drinker, a smoker, and he had another woman on the side by the name of Shalena. He even told his new bride to be that he wouldn't give up his mistress, even if they were married. Kaminee tried to warn her parents about the man they had chosen for her, but they believed she was only trying to get out of the marriage.

Kaminee had no choice. She was going to have to marry the man her parents chose for her, despite what he was truly like. That even meant she had to give up the one person in her life who meant the world to her. He was the one who she truly wanted to marry. Her mystery lover went by the name of Dev and they had been together for five years, but her parents never knew. If they found out, they would've killed her! So she had to sacrafice what she had and do what made her parents happy.

Finally the wedding day had come. As she sat in her room, staring down at her henna adored hands, there came a knock at her balcony window...............TO BE CONTINUED...............(in another blog story)
