He took his blessings for granted –

Draped in wedding finery, she walked slowly towards the altar. Rose petals lined her path, whispers of joy in the air. Midway, she stopped.

A house of her own was her dream.

A place where she was free to wear and eat what she wished, where her creativity could flow unhindered and her choices weren’t limited by societal pressures.
