After our engagement, she and her family came to my native home. I took her to our farm to show her around.<\/p>\n
At that time, I asked her many things about herself; it was the first time we truly met and talked together. I asked her to tell me about her college life. I knew she had done her elementary and high school in Bombay while staying with her uncle, and later she came to our native place for college. I didn\u2019t ask whether she had a boyfriend, but I asked how college was and about her friends.<\/p>\n
She seemed to understand what I was asking but replied, \u201cNothing to tell, like\u2026\u201d<\/strong>\u2014a hint I never understood at the time. Later, after marriage, I found out that she had wanted to marry someone else, but her father forced her to marry me when her parents decided I was a suitable boy.<\/p>\n Even more shocking, I discovered after marriage that a boy had come to marry her before me, but her family rejected him because they found out about her past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After our engagement, she and her family came to my native home.
