A love story of 1995 part 3
After that incident I went to my home trying to cover my injured hand ,though somehow I managed to hide my injury,I was caught by my mom while dressing my injury, she asked with tears filled eyes "chinna ,what happend to urs hand, was you involved any in quarrel?" then I said "no ma not like that its just an accident" but while I was saying that to my mom ,my dad entered into the show,and questioned me like an advocate with logically, finally I had to submit my self in front of his logical questioning, and said "yes dad I'm loving a girl"
my dad: "who is that girl?"
Me:"she is from our village itself"
He :with shocking expression "who ?who? say fastly who is that girl, is she from our caste???is she hindu?
Me:" no ,she is bashir 's daughter "
My dad: who? is that Bashir who lives beside so and so place?? say is he?

Me :"yes" he is....

My dad: " do u know how much respect we have in our village,as a village headman ,every year God's idol procession starts from our home, every one comes to our home to get justice regarding some disputes ,yes it's my mistake bcz from the beginning, I let you study in the cities so you forgetten all our cultural values, ok do marry her when I die"

Me :"No, I cant wait until u die" first time bravely I replied to my father,

My dad: started ordering my elder brother ," karthik look ,what yours younger brother did, is he the one whome you supports evertime?? ,come quick wear shirt ,and call all our community members,

after that they went to her home and created an unmanageable disturbance, it finally led to division of whole village into two spheres on the basis of communal lines,

after knowing all these ,
Me:" ma ,(mother) good bye ,see my face last time, I never come to this home,I work there and live there,dont make any Hopes on me that I come to this home in future, its impossible "

she started crying and tried to stop me ,but my dad prevented her ,and he infront of of whole family ,
My dad: "my younger son has died today,so I'm taking head bath , lakshimi(my mother) you go and take bath ,we have make his death rituals "and he ordered me that remove the sacred thread(which is the ritualistic thread in brahmin culture)

I ,without thinking just removed it and thrown away and went with my luggage to bombay.....

I started working there as a junior advocate under the very well known advocate ,but my entire thinking was only on her like ,what was the situation of her in her family? did she forget me? was she crying for me? I couldn't live with that haunting memories, I ,with hesitatingly called on of my friend in that village and begged him that how to contact her,he gave me one phone number of her (my girl) friends ,so enthusiastically noted that number and called to that number and said my sufferings to that girl(she is the friend of my girl, and she actually was in favour my love )and promised that yes I will help you brother ,u can call this number tomorrow so that I bring yours girl(intentionally not mentioning my girl's name) to my home ....

I didnt sleep that night while thinking all about her,the very next morning I called ,someone answered my call but was not saying anything, I just was getting fast breathing of that person in the phone, then I said
Me :" i know its you", and while I'm saying something ,she interrupted and said
she: "Are you still wanting me? r u really loving me? I thought you are just following me as other men do, I thought I would die without seeing and hearing you again "
she started crying and till then I never cried but her words made my already injured heart to get more injuries and while hearing all these my eyes could nt hold my tears at all,

She: while managing her sufferings she asked " hey, will u really marry me ??

Me : I'm I look like I wouldn't marry you?

She: some how setting her voice, " No u never look like that"

Me :"ok ,will you come to me"

She:"when?, Shall I leave my family,I know it's wrong, but Im strucked between you and my family but I'm not that much selfish to leave you bcz for my family, and that doesnt mean I leave my family, you say is it correct to leave my family?

Me:"no, it's not but I'm hoping that our families would accept us some day in future "
after some conversation I said that come to bombay we would get married and live happy life,

she said "shall I bring with me any valuables(like money ,gold or something)as my friend (who is the one who helped in my love) said, u went with empty hands from urs home ,so u maybe facing many problems in Bombay"

innocent girl she didnt even know that I'm earning enough to take care of her..

Me : " no, you just come with empty hands ,I would send train tickets to yours friend address "

She: "yes, I would come surely"

But if it had gone well as we thought it would have been a colourful love story,
but god wrote an another dimension in our lives!!! climax would be in next part
