The sky was open but could not fly, a lonely, helpless girl used to just watch the flying planes

My heart used to feel sad and some regret that why is she a girl. This is the story of a girl whose name is Ratna.

That Indian girl whose father was a fisherman used to go to sea for fishing every day and used to catch fishes and sell them in the market and then the food items would come in the night and then the food would be cooked.

House also made of wood near a sea, she would stand and just watch the waves come and go, curious

Ah, how high the waves were, never gave up and went up to the heights, again went down due to the strong wind and then started rising upwards and that Ratna would have been very happy to see those high and low waves.

some sea pen would make him dream

Ratna is a quiet girl who speaks very little. She is a dark-skinned, vigorous, long-haired girl with big eyes. She has 6 sisters and a brother. She also has a younger sister.

Her four sisters are also married, all were much older than her. Ratna’s brother who is older than her is looking for a boy for her. Ratna will also have to get married this year.

Ratna was very fond of roaming near the sea, she was only 11 years old, she did not know the outside world, she only knew her own world, only sea and fish.

She used to go for a walk after finishing all her work, then she saw a sailor coming singing a song. He has a lot of sea food.

he sings Listen to the voice of your heart, don’t give voice to others

O stream, you do not come near, do not disturb the mind from a distance

take me to some other place away from this place

Then Ratna sees that a lot of fish was coming towards her with its mouth spread, that boatman was far away but he could not see the fish, now that fish was moving towards his own boat.

Ratna was watching all that that big fish is coming near her boat and that man is singing a song with joy, he is so mad with happiness that he has no idea of his coming time. Seeing the happiness of a few days, he becomes so mad that he does not even realize the next moment.

And what Ratna was afraid of happened, the fish came near his boat and dragged his boat to the middle of the stream and drowned the boat.

And the sailor panicked and jumped into the middle of the waves and disappeared somewhere

The fish was just an excuse for his annihilation, so he was annihilated. In a short while, that man’s empty boat started hesitating in the sea.

Ratna had understood that the man had become fish food, but what would Ratna do, she ran away to her home in fear.

Ratna could not forget that scene, she was thinking that where did this man come from, where does he live, how many dreams he had, how happy he was, how much he laughed, how much he sang.

it was all over in one fell swoop

She used to get married soon in her community, she was made big while playing in childhood, she was taught that now only she has to get married and give birth to children all her life. To fulfill her own wishes, she is burnt in the fire of seven rounds of the mandap and if the husband dies, she has to spend the rest of her life wearing a white saree.

She had already come to know how many rules she had already grown up. She was jumping rope outside her house that mother calls out to her where are you, O Ratna, have you died?

Ratna leaves her rope and goes to mother from there and says what is mother, mother says just clean those utensils, now Pandit ji must have come. will probably come in a while

Ratna doesn’t say anything, only cleans the utensils. All Ratna’s desires were suppressed, she wanted to do a lot, but she was tied up, but still her father got her enrolled in a small school to study a little. Tha Ratna was from a low caste, so she was made to sit away from other children.

Ratna was the daughter of a fisherman and she knew her responsibilities very well, how she should live, how much distance should be with the upper caste people, everyone had made her well aware.

Ratna cleans the dishes and goes to fetch water from the well. There she sees that flowers are in bloom. There was a huge beehive at the very top and the city was dripping from it. Ratna thinks it is because of the bees

How hard a bee makes honey and people take its honey and Ratna is sitting thinking what it gets

While she is looking at the hive, mother comes from the house and calls her Ratna, Ratna, where are you, your father has come and is calling you. Ratna gets confused that father is calling me, perhaps he might have brought something for me and She tells her mother that she has just come and runs behind her, after all she was just an innocent child playing, she is just of the age to jump and play.

How people go by trampling all his happiness, when his own parents are themselves colored in the color of social evil, they have a lot of fear of the society, because by violating the rules of the society, they will be thrown out of the village. The house will also be taken away and those people are of low caste they have no place anywhere

Ratna knew this very well, her knowledge of social rules. This girl had not yet regained full consciousness, at that time she had already gained knowledge and she had already known, but what was going to happen to her next.

she goes to her house and sees

Some people were sitting with her father and were talking. Ratna went to the kitchen with her mother and started helping her, washing utensils and many other tasks. She also started doing them. Her sister-in-law was also working. Her sister-in-law was also only 14 years old but she was very intelligent. She used to play with Ratna sometimes but she also knew that she had grown up now. Ratna had only one brother who was 19 years old. The one who used to go fishing in the deep sea, his sister-in-law also used to go with him.

Ratna’s sister-in-law was very beautiful, but Ratna was a dark-skinned girl, spoke very little, had long hair, her big eyes were as deep as a lake, their depth was as deep as the ocean, many dreams and many hopes were hidden, which wanted to say something. But she could not say anything, there was a hesitation, a fear in her.

She had understood that now after two months she is also going to get married, she knew that she too was going to be bound by fetters, but she was also determined that she would never let her dreams be shattered, she would fight

There was a pile of fish in the house, meat was being cooked, country liquor was kept in the house, father had spent all the money on hospitality to these people.

Ratna was in such a dilemma. Her brother had been busy serving her since morning and was busy in making her happy.

They were ready to marry their son to Ratna. Ratna did not even know what her future husband would be like, what he would look like. She had to obey her parents and society, she had no idea about anything. She was just a dumb doll, she was not allowed to speak, she could not take decisions about her life.

Ratna but still was a brave girl. Less speaking and knowing everything, she didn’t express her thoughts with words but that didn’t mean she was cunning she wasn’t cunning

Today a lot of food was being prepared and Ratna was also hungry. Today she felt that perhaps she would get food today but there would be nothing left for tomorrow. She also knew this.

At last, what Ratna was thinking happened, all the food was over and only dry roti and nothing else was left. Brother and sister-in-law, mother also ate the same dry roti and kept it for father too. Father also ate dry roti at night and everyone went to sleep. Had slept but Ratna was awake. She realized that she was going to face a lot of sorrows. There are only sorrows written in her life but she was not afraid of any situation. She was absolutely ready to face it.

She did not crave for happiness in her life but still she wanted to live her life in an easy way, she wanted to live her own way but perhaps even she did not know what was in her destiny.

Finally, after a week, Ratna’s wedding day comes and poor Ratna was sitting in a corner and thinking about her fate. The marriage takes place and the time of parting also comes. There is vermilion on her forehead. She had not even seen her husband’s face to know how he was, what a husband was. How did that 11 year old girl know? She was happy to see her new clothes which she had got in her marriage.

Now she is made to sit in the doli. When her doli is lifted, her mother cries a lot. Ratna could not live without her mother. Today, she is leaving her mother’s company. Everyone was crying. There was a tradition of crying, no one actually. He was not crying but his mother was crying. Ratna’s sister said to Ratna that now the deal of your life has been done, now leave the attachment to your parents, now in-laws house is your home and starts crying holding her hand.

The time of parting comes and all four start walking carrying the doli. Father had hidden tears in his eyes. Ratna was also crying. She was looking at each and every street of hers. Her friends were still playing outside. Her doli passes by there. So everyone leaves their game and surrounds Ratna’s cart.

Ratna did not even know who all these people were and where she was being taken, she just had to have faith that whatever God does will be done for good. Life is also like a doll, where are we going? I don’t know anything either

She was looking around and saw that a group of dogs were following her doli. She recognized her dog but could not get down from the doli. She looked at her dogs. Her four dogs were Ratna’s when they were small. They used to play together but now they had grown up, now they still recognized Ratna and they were walking with her palanquin.

It was almost evening, now those dogs had also returned, they got tired of Ratna’s doli and they took down Ratna’s doli to rest and started to rest, then Ratna’s husband and many people of his family along with him came to the horses. And all the people in the carriage were men and there were no women.

Ratna is taken down to a tent, where she had only two women who were from the same village. They come to Ratna and give water to Ratna to drink and say that after half an hour the doli will be given again till then you Take rest and spread a big sheet in Ratna’s tent.

Ratna sits on the sheet to rest for a while and sees that a huge forest is visible in front of her which is very dense. She sees that she will have to cross such a dense forest.

Then both the women shout that hey, these woodcutters are coming, you all protect yourself, now we are going to our home, we have small children in our house.

Now Ratna also gets scared, then a young man comes to Ratna’s room and says quickly hide somewhere, there is danger here, the woodpeckers are coming here and they hid Ratna under a big earthen pot. gives
