End of the Life at 17

I should say, Greediness is a real disaster. I write this post based on a very true story happened recently in my neighborhood. A family with 4 kids mom and dad were somewhat struggling financially rented a house near to my place and the eldest daughter was just 15. They were staying there for two years and shifted to another house in the same town. Few weeks after a relative of them who we know very well told us that the girl who is just 17 years was proposed and that person was invited to the engagement too.

If I say about this girl who is just 17 years was a real beauty queen naturally, she really looks like a beautiful princess in real life, and I don't think the word beautiful is enough to say her beauty. I was surprised when I saw her for the first time.

Anyways that person who is related to that family further told, the proposed guy is in France and he cannot come to Sri Lanka because he has to stay in France for a particular years to get the citizenship. Also he can fly to other countries except Sri Lanka. So this family especially the mom of that girl was agreed to take the wedding in India. Imagine, what a mad decision it was to take the wedding in India when the financial situation of the family is very bad.

So the mother of that girl has borrowed money from others and she was getting ready to go to India with her family and invited only few very close relatives to the wedding which gonna take place in India. The bride (17 years) has never seen the bride groom but she used to talked with him via the phone which he sent to her. It was a used smart phone and that girl was almost treating to it like the one and only product in the world. Mother was a usual boaster and told many stories to people that after the marriage all of them gonna live in France.
Finally all the family members went to India for the wedding and came back to Sri Lanka after one month. Even I got a chance to see the wedding album. I was very disappointed with the groom since he exactly look like "වෙන්ඩ ජෝන් එබ්‍රහම්". Actually this man is very skinny, tall and the face is almost like a drug addict. You can imagine the type right. This man is not the match for this 17 years beautiful girl. He promised to take the bride to France after marriage but he did not take her and sent the family back to Sri Lanka promising again he will be sending the VISA within a month.

One month later a letter came to the bride which is a divorce notice from the person who she got married. The mother of this girl took the girl and went to the mother in laws place in Colombo, which was a very shanties area. Mother and the daughter came back to home with a earful of filthy words. The mother and the daughter went to courts to find the justice. The judge was trying the best to make the things right. But again the mother of this girl wanted a huge damage for the incident also again she went alone and blasted the guy's family too. Judge has decided though the divorce is not granted the guy is in France and he will never come back. So no point of waiting for him and also since the girl is not pregnant finally the divorce was granted. Also they got to know the man is 35 years old too which was told as 25. :S

The girl is still 17 and she does not know what to do next. As I told earlier she is really beautiful and she deserves a great life with a great man. But now married and divorced and lived only one month together even that is not in Sri Lanka. Waste of money, waste of time, and the life is hopeless, dreamless. She can move on, but why this happened, why the people only care about money and the reputation. I wish no one should not fall into a trap like this in a very young age. Also must say this mother of the bride is very much responsible for this hopeless life of her daughter.
