College campus, graduation phase of life. Rahul likes her colleague and obsessed to marry her. As they both are in final year and both have got job somewhere in same location. Rahul takes initiative and proposed her, initially Rithika ignored her, but after six month someone else also proposed her. Now the time she realized and thought about these and now she attract to Rahul. They both obsessed with each-other. Making love was first time such experience for both. They were both satisfied with each-other. They joined same company and used to live live-in-relationship. During training period in company(Software MNC) they enjoyed too much their life and relationship. They were actually made for each-other. Both understand each other very well. Nearly one year have been passed and Rithika’s parents have searched out a boy in their locality and called Rithika to meet that boy. Rithika was surprised and shocked as well, what she should do? A big question mark was there. Anyhow she reached her home and told her parents that she love someone. Initially there was some normal Indian cultural problems but as they were self-dependent their parents agreed and the marriage ritual finally took place.

On very first night Rahul asked Rithika- “I am your first love ..”. Rithika replied- “Yes, you are… but why are you asking  today, here”.  The single question ruined their first official love making night. They start behaving like they know nothing about each-other. Now situation has changed. During their live-in relationship they share office works and about friends and their gossips. Both were enjoying each-other and showing full faith in each-other, because they used to live together all time. Now they are married couple, now they have responsibility to grow their family and fulfill the expectations of parents. After marriage there was a short party in office for all, there both were smiling and looking happy. Someone(a girl colleague : How was your first night, how do you make it different from rest of your past one year relationship) has passed some comment and some little light mood jokes. Both have then shown busy themselves in office. At night in home, Rahul asked Rithika- “What you answered of that girl’s question. You have surely told her everything, you girls…”. Rithika shouts on Rahul. Now again the boring scene starts. Day after day they start quarreling each-other. Very few occasions they find themselves comfortable, when they are far from home or with friends, their love-making is now reduced to countable numbers in months. Sometime to reduce anger they do that without knowing partner will. Now they started ignoring each-others thoughts.  After one year they both started thinking for divorce. They were educated, so they put their thought in front of their parents. Rithika’s parents didn’t allowed her to take divorce. As this was love marriage, she has no authority to pressurize her parents. She drop the idea of divorce and just continue to live with Rahul, but Rahul is now fully determined to divorce with her. Now a very undefined situation for even such modern girl. Now the family importance is major factor in taking decisions. Now the situation have been changed, their life is now suffering. What the next is a very big and huge question in front of them. Rahul wants divorce and his family supports him. Now the hell situation for Rithika. Due to this depression Rithika office works effected badly and Rithika’s Boss warned her in office for doing poor work. She is now facing real tough situations 24x7. In office, employees and boss everyone annoyed her, while in home his love partner (life partner) also annoyed her.

Now she has to take decision. She has not too much options. Everything seems against her. She has only one primary question: “What is end of this ... and when…”.
