ok... so i think this will help. This is a story...
"Jeans and my father"
We live in a joint Muslim family in a small village of West Bengal named Morhal. I have been brought up very well since childhood. My dream was to become a Pilot. But as we belong from a middle class family becoming a pilot was not possible. But i was bit good in writing and i used to score really good marks in exams. So my father decided that i will make my way into science field. Basically he wanted me to become a doctor but i was not too much interested in doing that. When i opposed his decision he ended up giving me two options, " Become a doctor or get married."
My family fulfiled all my wishes but they were kind of orthodox. I was not allowed to wear jeans, having male friends, my b'day was not even celebrated, go outside on trips with my friends and even becoming a vegetarian was like a crime for them. Many times i was just called rude, evil , a brat and sometimes non religious. No one really cared about my success. I used to win thousands of trophies in debates and competition but i never told my family that i actually participated in any such competition because if they came to know about that no one will really appreciate my efforts, they will only look at the negative side of it that wht could have happened if u were harassed or they would have said it was my luck or i have no skills.
Tears rolled down from eyes and i used to cry a lot. So and so i just argued and became a doctor even i didn't want to. I earned really well and after some years i decided that i should try my luck in writing. I was madly in love with a Hindu guy named Arjun. But i never told anyone about him because of my orthodox family. He was really a nice guy, tall, handsome , good in sports , singing, had nice dancing skills and was quite intelligent. He was an engineer and earned well. So one fine day i decided that its time for our marriage and let the cat out of the bag. I told my mom that there's a guy i love and we wanna marry each other. I didn't tell her his religion and his name. I said he earns well. Ammi said "ok, i will take to your dad". But i was scared that my family will deny. But a miracle, happened he said "Call the guy ,we want to meet him". They talked with him and said ,"ok, he is a nice guy and we have no objections". Then the moment of truth comes i said," He is not Muslim, he is a hindu". My family slapped me and arjun was thrown out of house. They again gave me two opinions either to live in their family or marry arjun. But this time i listened to my heart. I packed my bag and said," i want to live with him. U were at first ready but now u said no just because of his religion."
My mother however supported me somehow and tried to convince my father but at least my mother also had to leave that house just because my relatives were not satisfied with the relationship.
Main part- Now i my first book was published. It was a great success. Everyone liked that and could relate to my words. I was married to Arjun and was living with my mother. We went to restaurant and i was wearing a jeans and my mother was too wearing jeans and a t shirt. Accidentally we went to the same restaurant where my father had gone. He scanned us from head to toe and criticised us for wht we were wearing. This time we said and our listened to us for the first time. I said ," There's nothing in the world which can make us feel safe. People in this world are going to judge u everytime." After this I said," kya pehne hm log vo bhi ap log decide kre. kya khaye , kaha jaye , jada bat na kre, bra ka strip tk chipayr. kyu ? I wear a bra that's why it's strip is showing. Boys agr banyan pahen ke bahr chle jay toh koi ek shbd nhi bolta pr agr ek ldki skirt pahen kr chle jaye toh use toh log ghur ghur kr dekhte h. kya mentality h wahh! Saree me waist size , jeans me hips size or suit me breast size. Now can u plz tell me wht should we wear. There's nothing wrong in this outfit but there's something wrong with your thinking. I feel comfortable in this and that's it dad. U need to understand that everyone has his/her own personal choices." My dad was silent. Me said nothing and everyone stared at me and just clapped. We went home and now my dad again said these words " You were right." I know that was not a happy ending but some stories don't have happy ending but wht they do have is a hidden meaning.
Hope this helped
Instead of writing the whole story u can just write the main part only
