Dreams or love! What would you choose?

Well, like every simple girl I choose love after being tired of chasing my dreams. I got married to a Muslim fellow after getting converted and led a happy life for a year. I was asked to leave my job to handle their school which though was a English medium school but people ended up speaking in urdu and majority of the population are Muslim who were forced to study. It was a nightmare to see the principal shouting out on parents and children for fees in local language who claims to have studied till 8th standard from a convent. It was a pathetic experience altogether. I was given a 10k for teaching students there. It was the highest pay in the school. My heart mourned when I saw teachers not getting their proper remuneration. We say teaching is a noble profession and teachers are the backbone of the society. Every individual take up a certain profession for their needs which may vary from financial to personal needs. But how can our society turn blind to these teachers needs who are responsible for today's educated society. It is the teacher who has groomed and nurtured every bio-social animal in the society. Why can't we recompense them in a proper way ? Giving them recompense is our utmost duty to keep the teachers satisfied so that we move towards an educated society. Now that I'm pregnant I stopped going to school. I'm unable to take up any stress in this period. The doctor had tested that my blood pressure is high and adviced me to take bed rest. In the meantime, i came to know that being the only son of his mother he doesn't have a fixed income from his school. However, before marriage I was asked to leave the job because the school expenses are enough for the whole family. Now family is extended with step father who has interest in the school. Apart from this my sister in law who was not part of the school suddenly became part of it. Next comes my cousin father in law who too left driving ola car in the morning to find some interest in the family business. The funniest part is whatever I taught in school was termed wrong by my in laws. Maybe they were plotting to remove me from the school business. That was nothing but a strategy to target me. Now that I realize every bit of it I feel people are so fake. They aren't afraid of the Lord, Allah. Offering namaz and reading Quran does not make one a true Muslim. It is all in the bashira "your heart". Karma is something which never leaves anyone. We should be afraid of every karma or deeds of us. How do you feel when you sacrifice something for someone? And how do you feel when this someone asks you who asked you to sacrifice so much for me? Isn't it ridiculous. Well, there's nothing to be surprised, this is nothing but your destiny. We should all take it easy like I'm still doing. When you get such a behavior from your husband, I don't think anybody would count on their enemies. Differences still exist with him but I'm still carrying on with him not because I'm carrying our child but because I still expect things would get back to its place soon...
