Neither of the two men in Hibiscus' life gave her a real wedding!
From the age of sixteen, she has been hiding secretly behind their backs, acting as their "mistress" for the rest of their lives. Blame it on the vagaries of fate or the tricks of reality. She endured it all silently. Living, living, is more important than anything else.
In the end, what she got was true love that is not appreciated by others.
