Things I do for love ( part 5)
THE CLIMAX…
“ I knew, this would happen someday! What happened to him?”, she yelled at Joseph.
“Mithra! I didn’t expect this. Please stay calm”, he replied.
“ please, don’t scold him”, he pleaded. Both rushed to the hospital. They were really worried what has happened to him. They saw a doctor coming out of the operation theatre.
“nothing to worry. He has a minor injury in his head and a few sratches all over his body. He’ll recover very soon, you can discharge him tomorrow. Pay your fees in the counter, sir!”, the doctor said and left. Both went inside and Satheesh saw his parents coming in.
“sorry, pa!”, he cried.
“it’s ok. You should’ve been careful while riding. So…what about your love?”, he tried convincing him. Satheesh was speechless and he just nodded his head saying, “no!”.
After a deep breath, Joseph said, “ it’s alright. Let her go. She’s not interested, right? She doesn’t deserve you. Leave her…”, he said.
“no dad! She loves me. I saw it in her eyes, dad! She is restricting herself. She’s killing me every second daddy!”, he cried hard. Both of them did not know how to convince him. Mithra hugged him tight and he believed that everything would be alright. He looked at Joseph with tears. Joseph could not control his tears, he went outside.
Satheesh slept holding his mom’s hands. Mithra came out and she saw Joseph sitting over there. She hugged him consoling him. Mothers have to convince all their kids at any tragedic situations, including their husband.
“she’s too hurt, Mithra! I can’t see it!”, he sobbed.
“Joe! You have to be bold, now. He is already hurt so bad. You have to cheer him up. Come on, let’s go…”, she convinced.
“Mithra! you go home and stay there. I’ll take him home tomorrow morning”, he said.
“fine, be safe! No crying, baby!”, she hugged him again and left. Joseph entered the room again and sat on a chair nearby. He was looking at Satheesh sleeping so calm. He comforted him massaging his head and he was really worried for his son.
“daddy! Why are all these girls doing this? They love people but they never express. How is it possible, dad? They have all their reason ready at the moment, why are they so much frightened? They can’t even live the lives they need, then why do they live. Just for other’s sake or what?”, he was furious.
Joseph smiled at him and started, “it’s not out of fear, my son! It’s the responsibilities, they’ve got to do. We, men…the head of the family are used to do anything of our own and we’ll try to manage it, even you have proposed her that day. Did you think of all this. What if I had not been supportive, it would’ve been still worse and still we do it, but women… they are something else. They use to think a lot for every action they do and even a small mistake will ruin their family and that is why we worship them.
Nothing is equal to motherhood. They bear all of us for ten months, literally all those days. They carry us with lots of love and we come out tearing them up. People don’t understand all this. The way, you treat your ladies in life will show up your character. I was raised in such a way and you too have to know it. There are a lot of things hidden in their single refusal…”, he finished.
“you were so lucky, dad! You had everything you need. You had nothing to feel. Look at me, how unlucky, I am!”, Satheesh cried again. Now Joseph had to open up…
“ Nothing is easier in life, Satheesh! you have to fight for it to pursue it. You have to know something, now. Myself and your mom, we loved a lot but we didn’t know what’s gonna’ happen. All our wonderlands in the college was over and your mom, she was really brilliant. Of course, she got through a bank exam in few years but I was unemployed. By the time, they were looking for alliance in her house. I had lots of complications and I had to get through all of them.
Am a Christian! An unemployed young man son of a lawyer. I had love on her and else. Mithra informed that she had been forced and she called me, home. I clearly knew that they would insult me, however but I went there. THINGS I DO FOR LOVE! I had to hold her when I had no other go. I went to her house, I approached them. I tried convincing them but they never considered me. They looked at me as an asshole eating shits. I could see only their faces all around me and you know something, I loved them all and their hairstyles. They never respected and they literally hit me out, really strong Brahmins…”, he left a pass and Satheesh was action less. He continued,
“they said that am no match for their daughter, the same words… I can’t do anything and could not explain them but I never opened it up even to your mother. I tried convincing my parents, the royal mints….even they did not understand my feelings. They were so clear that she’ll never enter lord’s fucking house. Did any of our gods say that inter-caste marriages are wrong? All...
