The Moment: There was a time I can never forget. When my husband didn’t have a proper job, life became very difficult. I remember how some relatives stopped visiting us. Maybe they thought we would ask for help. That silence and distance hurt a lot. At the same time, most of our money was spent on my husband’s medicines, and managing household expenses felt almost impossible. The Realization: That was when I truly understood that money is not just about comfort — sometimes it is about survival. Even small expenses felt big, and every rupee mattered. The Downplay: I don’t usually talk about it. I tell myself that everyone goes through hard times like this. I try to ignore it and act like it was nothing, maybe because it still hurts somewhere inside. The Feeling: That time revealed the true faces of people. It showed me who really cares and who doesn’t. Today, Alhamdulillah, my husband has a job. The salary is not much, but I manage with simplicity. Still, deep inside, I carry a mix of pain, strength, and quiet relief. .
