There is one other fear that makes me difficult to breathe. I fear people will blame Archana for my fate. I know how innocent and pure she is. She would have left no stone unturned if it was in her capability to help me. She is probably more helpless than myself.
My decision to come to Australia was only my decision and there was no influence of her. I knew I was not going to keep battling depression but I wanted to take her to the place where her siblings were. She has a small world and that revolves mostly around me. If there is anyone apart from me who she feels close to her are her parents. If I had stayed back home, because of the love of their youngest daughter my in-laws would be bound to the ill-fortuned country. And when age took them away my Archana would be alone in the world with a big responsibility of our daughter. My brother would have done everything possible to him to take care of my daughter unfortunately Archana's relationship with rest of my family is not very pleasant and this is the area where I always thought she needed to improve. Anyways, that is what it is. In Australia, Archana will be close to her brother and sister, her parents could join her.
Life for a single woman is difficult back home and here in Australia it is not a big deal.
