Whore and the cash cow.

She is in her mid 50’s. One of the most hard working RN ( registered nurse) I have known. She came to Australia many many years ago. They live in a sprawling mansion that befits the mallu status requirement. The house is fully paid for. Her older  children have completed their Uni studies and the younger one is just about to.

And she is looking forward to dying.. each day she hopes it is her last.

Before you name her depressed ..this is her story.

Her parents were farmers. But they had big dreams for their children. They send their  daughter  to study nursing and within a year or two after graduation, she managed to get a job in the mid east. Being farmers, her parents didn’t have enough money to pay dowry and in the marriage market at that time, there were plenty of useless, good for nothing guys who wanted a visa to mid east. Pretty good trade off..a nurse with valid working visa sans dowry for a useless guy with equally useless degree who wants visa and can overlook the dowry part.

She worked and worked. He loved investing their (her) money in to various mallu get rich scheme.

You work now, soon we will go back home to India and settle down he said. She agreed, for she really wanted to go back home and help take care of her aged parents.

Some of the younger nurses were migrating to Australia. He worked out the AUD/INR exchange rate, much bigger than Dinar/INR.

They came to Australia.

Just a few more years and we can retire and go back to India, he said.

She agreed.

First it was the car, then the second car, then the house, the children’s education…

She is still working.. and he keeps moving the goal post.

She wants to work less hours, because she is tired. But her husband won’t let her.

“You work, money doesn’t grow on trees” that is his command.

Her mother passed away few years ago. She knows India is a distant dream and she tells me that she no longer cares if she ever go back to India. She just want to die in peace, because she is just tired.

Oh, her husband hasn’t worked for many many years, because he couldn’t work under a white man, it was below his dignity..but while she is at work, he is busy watching porn and expect a whore in his bed when she returns after a hard day at work.

  1. Seems like she never mustered enough courage to walk out or throw him out.
    Outrageous!! I hope if she has a daughter, she is telling her not to follow mom’s example and walk out and make a life for herself if she ever finds herself with a loser..
    I think she should still walk out and live well for the rest of her life (I know easier said than done).

    • MS: She would never leave him.. how could she, for isn’t she supposed to be the one who should adjust?? atleast she thinks so..
