The next day, as Maryam was getting ready for school -
Mother: "You won't go to school. Your marriage is happening."
Maryam (shocked): "Then how will I study?"
Mother (angrily shouting): "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I will take care of everything."
Maryam was having trouble breathing as her mother tightly grabbed her neck.
That day, her brother Muntasir came and said:
Muntasir: "Ma, let go of her neck! If she dies, who will you get her married to?"
Finally, her mother let go.

Maryam fell on her bed crying.
Two days later, the wedding day arrived.
There was a lot of celebration at the wedding, but Maryam's face showed no happiness. She couldn't express her pain to anyone.
---
After the wedding, Maryam went to her in-laws' house.
The house was quite simple, lightly decorated.
---
Sister-in-law Nindani: "We can't spend a lot, so this much is enough for one night."
Nindani (mockingly): "Sabbir, don't cling to your wife's saree edge!"
Sabbir: "I won't."
Maryam looked on in surprise.
Sabbir: "Don't mind what she says."
Maryam: "No, I didn't."
---
Sabbir: "Let's sit down."
Maryam: "I'll sleep on the floor, you sleep on the bed."
Sabbir (laughing): "Why?"
Maryam didn't reply.
Sabbir lay down on the floor with a pillow.
---
Next morning,
Mother-in-law: "Still lying in bed so late? Go cook."
Maryam (shocked): "It's just 4:30? this early?"
Mother-in-law (strictly): "Start now!"
---
Maryam went to the kitchen and started cooking.
Everyone in the house wanted food according to their taste, so Maryam had a lot of work to do.
Maryam said to herself: "Being born a girl? feels like my biggest mistake."
---
At night, her husband returned.
Maryam served him food.
After finishing all the chores, Maryam entered the room where her husband was sitting.
---
Sabbir: "I want to give you something."
Maryam: "What?"
Sabbir: "Close your eyes."
Maryam closed her eyes.
Sabbir: "This is for you."
Maryam opened her eyes and saw a gift.
---
Sabbir: "Will you give me a gift?"
Maryam (shyly): "I don't have any money."
Sabbir (laughing): "Who needs a rich gift?"
Maryam (surprised): "What do you mean?"
Sabbir: "What I want? I already have it in you."
Maryam blushed and looked down.
---
Sabbir: "Can we start from today?"
Maryam shyly nodded yes.
Sabbir kissed Maryam.
(They went on to celebrate a beautiful night together.)
