Moira
"Mom make me a bride " Myra chirped with a twinkle in her eyes . Every time 4 year old Myra felt insomniac at bedtime her mother adorned her with imaginary jewelry to make Myra sleep faster .Little Myra felt happy with the game of imaginary bride dress up, getting fascinated by the idea of being dolled up as a bride .
"Myra why are aren't you making soft Chapattis( Wheat flour flat bread) ?" Myra's mother asked Myra who seemed struggling to make perfect Chapattis .
"Myra try to make them properly , girls of your age are making three course meals and here you are struggling to make a single Chapatti " Myra's mom stated with distress visible on her face .
"Mummy I am trying but somehow these chapattis are stiffening ! " Myra said it with frustration .
"She will learn with time , Rekha ( Name of Myra's mom) . Don't worry Myra will learn everything" Myra's father said trying to comfort Myra and Rekha .
"Rakesh( Myra's father) don't spoil your princess more . How will Myra live after marriage ? Will we go along with her to assist her in the kitchen after she gets married? " Rekha retorted back to Rakesh's statement.
"Myra at least learn to do makeup and wear saree ! I won't be always there for you ! When will you learn it , you are already 22 !" Myra's mother spoke out with anxiously when she saw Myra messing her face with crooked eye liner and uneven foundation .
Myra sighed in defeat and embarrassment . A hopelessness clutched her heart and she felt a bit more worthless .
"Myru fill it up fast , today is the last for submission " Rakesh spoke while handing the laptop to Myra .
Myra looked at the online form on the laptop screen in astonishment . "Papa how do you know that I want to pursue it !"Myra asked Rakesh.
"Myru I know how much you love this profession, just fill this form . I will take care for the rest of the things" Rakesh said to Myra .
Myra instantly hugged her father who knew what exactly Myra thought about her career . Myra loved photography from her childhood days . Today Rakesh gave Myra a hope that her dreams could be fulfilled as he showed Myra the admission form for Vevey School of Photography , Switzerland .
With joy filled tears Myra submitted the it . "Finally I will fulfill my dream of being a professional photographer" Myra thought to herself with excitement in her mind.
A week passed and Myra completed her packing to go to Switzerland ."Just 2 days then I will fly to pursue my dream . I have never felt so good before , chasing dreams gives you a new energy to live your life " Myra thought to herself before dozing off to sleep .
"Myra get up child, look something happened to your papa!" A Panicked Rekha woke up Myra in a haste.
Myra woke with the speed of light. She rushed towards her father who laid on the bed with his right side of the body going numb and his lips dropping towards right . Rekha shrieked seeing Rajesh in such a condition while Myra cried with goosebumps all over her body .
With the help of neighbours Rekha and Myra took Rajesh to the hospital . After a few hours of checkup Rajesh got diagnosed with Brain Stroke which resulted in Paralysis of right side of his entire body .
Doctors were unsure if Rajesh could ever recover . Myra felt her heart tearing apart when she saw Rajesh so helpless . Within a matter of a few hours everything changed for Myra .
All the money which Rajesh had saved for Myra's dream got spent in Rajesh's treatment . After 2 days Rajesh was still in the same condition but now he could talk a bit with disoriented voice due to his paralysis .
Myra was just praying for her father to get healthy again as now nothing else mattered to her more than her father. Rajesh finally spoke to Myra," Myru I am so sorry due to my health condition you could not pursue your dream, forgive me".
Myra replied,"No Papa nothing is more than you , just get well soon then we will watch all your favourite movies together ".
Rajesh smiled listening to her brave daughter . After a few minutes the machines beeped violently . Rajesh suffered another stroke . Myra and Rekha felt their world falling apart .
Doctors told that Rajesh now got fully paralysed and he had just an year to live . Rekha was inconsolable while Myra was just so numb to react as she could not believe what all was happening in her life all of a sudden.

"Rekha look Life is unpredictable for Rajesh , I suggest you to at least get your daughter Myra married " suggested Rekha's best friend Surbhi . Surbhi also runs a matrimony business .
"Rekha look this boy is just gold , he is a medalist and has a good family business too. Our Myra will leave happily with him .Leave everything on me , Myra will get a prince " spoke out Surbhi.
Rekha stood silent for a while and then she thought it would be the best option for Myra to get hitched so that Rajesh could die peacefully seeing his princess happy and settled . Rekha said yes to the proposal .
Myra was angry at her destiny as she had to marry suddenly while her father needed her . In anger Myra didn't even see the groom's photograph .
Surbhi got the groom side ready for the marriage just after a week . Myra drowned in her own darkness not knowing how to cope up with everything .
After 1 week
Myra got dolled up as bride with her heart aching with pain . She had never imagined that her dream game of turning into a bride could be so painful for her in real life. Myra cried leaning into her father's lap who sat on his wheelchair with teary eyes .
Myra didn't dare to look up and see the person whom she was marrying because she felt scared and simply everything felt useless to her .
Myra felt emotionless throughout her wedding ceremony . Everyone thought Myra is a shy bride that is why she is not looking up but no one knew what turmoil boiled inside Myra except her father .
Finally the wedding got over and Myra cried 1000 tears while parting away from her parents and little brother .
Finally, Myra sat in a car decorated with roses, next to her husband whom she has not seen yet .
As the car drove away , her husband spoke out," Hey Wifey! I am ain't so ugly that you don't want to see me, give a glance at my face . I won't eat you alive".
This voice sounded similar to Myra . She looked up and got shock of her life as her husband was none other than Samir Jha , the boy whom Myra never want to meet again . Destiny again played with Schlemiel Myra .
Myra's Moira knows how to make Myra miserable and helpless . Moira refers to a person's fate or destiny . Samir believes to make his own moira. Henceforth , Samir's true intentions of marrying Myra are unknown and mysterious but somehow Myra's rational mind knows that Samir will make her miserable life much more difficult now .
