Happy ending so far! Barkha got the bangles & the orchids.
What’ll happen when Vikram’s parents find out that he got married without their consent?
Well narrated, Smita!
Lovely post,looking forward for more post.
I feel blessed we don’t have these tradition and customs!
All the best for the challenge!
Thanks am so glad you like the story, yes sadly this is one problem which we havenot been able to eradicate as a country as yet. It is an evil and it is there is some traditions yet. I feel blessed too that I was born in a family and culture that does not practise these traditions, but my heart bleeds when I hear stories of these around me . Do read my next story on child abuse https://smitasangle.wordpress.com/2017/04/09/c-is-for-cat-a-story-on-child-abuse-atozchallenge/
Loved the story. Very nicely penned the sequence. Keep writing stories:)

Thanks a lot Neha for your kind words, it means a lot to me
very compelling, nice story
Thanks a lot Tina
It is so important for men to take a stand too against the ingrained Dowry system in India. ‘Custom’ ‘ tradition’ has been an excuse far too long, for all the wrongs in our society.
Great write!
Thanks a lot, your words matter a lot 😊
Yay! We need more guys like Vikram. I loved the story! 😊
What a great story and it’s so sad that it’s true. Keep writing
Thanks a lot I am so glad you liked it. Yes it is still a sad truth, no matter how hard we all are fighting against it. Do visit the other stories I have written too. I will surely drop by at your page soon too 😊
