Good people don't last long

Thimmanna is a young man in a small village; he is married and doesn't have kids.
he is a hard working fellow, working in the paddy fields and earning well just enough for his family.
Luck is not with him in his life, his wife nags him daily for jewels, sarees, bangles etc.
With his meager earnings its difficult to get those which his wife wants.
She doesn't have the rational thinking to understand their situation and nags him daily. She just doesn't realize how painful it is for thimmanna to tolerate this.
People respect him as he is an honest person and he believes in his integrity. He also believes in god and is a true follower of Lord Hanuma. He visits the temple every day and does pooja. 
     Its unfortunate that Thimmanna have such a person(leelamma) as wife who believes in worldly pleasures and money. Leelamma is not a right person for him, he realized this soon after his marriage; but because he loves her and doesn't want to hurt her, he never argue with her; he bears the brunt of her frustration, anger and dissappointment almost daily.
And he never complains, he doesn't disclose his problems to anyone and all his villagers feel that they are a happy couple.
    Time is moving and thimmanna has already entered mid 30s as well as leelamma. they still don't have children and leelamma blames him for this as well. The poor guy loses his strength and day by day he becomes emotionally weak due to the constant nagging of his wife. Its been years that they both had sex, yet he doesn't go out, he is not promiscuous neither is leelamma.
   She always thinks that she is married to a wrong person and that she deserves much more. She never thinks about the family and they could survive after a while. 
As thimmanna is the sole bread earner he works day and night for money so that he could at least satisfy some of her wishes.
By the time thimmanna became 40, he lost his hair, his charmness and all his strength. He lost the reason to live. He became emotionally void and he started counting his days.
He now doesn't believe in love and doesn't know what life is for. He is deprived of love and life. 
On one fine day, he dies of heart attack; God did help him after 40 years of struggle by making him free of his wife. There he is in heaven looking at his wife and his old mud house. He is now watching his wife crying for help and for her husband. She didn't realize the meaning of love until he died and now he is no more. 
Its too late now. God has been unkind to a noble guy like thimmanna; he made work since the age of 5 and he had been working until he died. There wasn't a minute of happiness in his whole life except on the day of his marriage. He died unnoticed; he was a brave man, a hard working and noble person. 
Good people don't last long and thimmanna is an example of this.
