Grind

Marriage is an institution "--- a phrase we use very often.
Understanding, bonding, adjustments, love, peace, happiness and joy is what we seek in this relationship.We go through stress and strain and yet with the mutual support survive and live another day to enjoy the fruits .Its like firing on all cylinders in the automotive terms.
But ...what if one cylinder refuses to fire or keeps working at his own pace and time oblivious of the outcome or resultant of the same.
Imagine a person who only slogs and loves his money and his fixed deposits?Doesn't care a damn about what his better half is going through while he runs after the money ,and lives on his own terms inspite of the marriage.28 years of marriage, 3 kids and being aloof from the household chores or responsibilities then why marry in the first place?Why spoil the lives of 3 innocent children, and his wife?
Today his wife is seriously ill with a 3rd stage cancer detected at a relatively young age and probably knocking the doors of heaven( god bless her).What is he going to do with all that money he craved for and ammassed?Spend for the medical treatment?He will now realise the importance of his partner and the grind she had to go through.Imagine when you have a marriage round the corner in 2 months , the first in the family and one is all set to have a go, the unfortunate happens!!
What happens when the grandmother gets to know about the seriousness of the illness??She herself at the age of almost 80 is not in so good health due to a mental torture at the place she resides!!!
Had there been simple peace , harmony and understanding in the family rather than the bloated egos and that craving for money .......maybe this situation wouldn't have arisen or possibly better dealt with today.
I am unable to voice out the pangs and pains of the family and others going through at this moment and only wish to let the world know that this and many such cases similar do occur and yet we don't wish to learn.What can one do in such circumstances for the kids ( the one who is getting married in particular), the youngest who is still in school and the son who is abroad working.The in laws and the mother who awaits to know the truth which has been kept away from her till now.Imagine the cascading effect of 1 person who triggered all this and stood there as a spectator ammassing money while the partner wore off literally .
Anger , frustrations,helplessness so many emotions clutter your mind and then we think what can be done now???
