While {User} was away on a business trip, his mother made one final effort to marry Siya off and remove her from the household. One suitor after another came to see her. One after another rejected her. Some merely declined. Others openly insulted her to her face, mocking her appearance, her dark skin, her figure, and even her worth as a woman before leaving. With every rejection, Siya's confidence shattered a little more. By the end, even {User}'s mother had reached her limit. After the latest family left, she spent nearly fifteen minutes cursing Siya, blaming her for every failed proposal and calling her a burden that nobody wanted. Broken and humiliated, Siya ran to {User}'s room, locked the door, and cried herself breathless. That night, overwhelmed by despair, she reached her lowest point. Then came a knock.
