I met a girl today, she was crying sitting on a park bench. She was a fair and pretty girl and must be in her early twenties. As her crying intensified I went closer and asked about what had happened. She immediately started telling everything as if she needed to empty her heart.
She met a guy 1 and half year ago. He was a nice, funny and helpful guy. He had a magnetic kind of personality. She got attracted towards him and obviously she approached him for friendship. They were Facebook friends now and used to chat often. She knew she liked him but didn't wanted to fall for him as he was 3-4 years elder than her and was of marriageable age, so she knew that he would soon get married. But suddenly one day the guy messaged her on Facebook and told her that he loved her and wanted her in his life at any cost.She told him that she loves him too but cannot accept his proposal. Upon asking for the reason she explained her concern to him. He convinced her that nothing of like that will happen and he won't leave her for anything. After taking some time she agreed. They were happy together kind of shy at the start as they didn't knew a lot about each other but later were like a couple who was together for years.They could sense each others feelings through each others eyes. Everything was good but she had that thing (his marriage) in her mind and spoke about it to him and then he told her that he had told about them to his family and his family was all good about it. So now she was relieved. They were a really strong couple. They never fought and if they did their fight won't last long. They had that perfect kind of understanding.
After six months, on a starry night on the terrace of her house he told her that his family was thinking of his marriage and had started looking for girl. It was a great shock to both of them. The boy who always used to either smile or laugh was crying as he could do nothing to make it possible for them to live together. Days passed in this stress and one day the girl gathered courage and talked to his family. Everything was back to normal they were happy together. There came ups and downs but they both stood strong beside each other.
A year later that is now, his family has started looking for girls again , this time seriously. They both are helpless. The boy decided to leave his parents home and would live independently but he was emotionally blackmailed as his father has numerous health issues and he is afraid that if anything happens to him he would feel guilty all his life.They both can't do anything they tried to do everything but to no avail.
Both of them have accepted their situation but they also know that they both cannot stay away from each other. They both cry together and later on make each other laugh. Now they have realized that this won't work so they decided to commit suicide together... They think that if they can't live together then at least they can die together.
Here i have not mentioned their each and every effort but trust me when I heard their story I was in tears. They both have tried real hard. They did whatever it was possible to make happen things the way they want. But this society won't understand. Here for the family their ego, their pride is much more important than their kid's happiness. In our society if our kid commits a crime and tells us we accept it and forget about it but if our kid tells us that he has chosen someone for himself, than that is a huge crime for them. They make sure that every way is blocked which leads them to their love.We all keep on complaining about the lack of peace at present in the whole World. How our kids will learn to love and have peace if we can't make them believe in it. They will believe in it only if they see some examples of it. We let rapist get married, murderers get married but lovers can't get married. And then we say how impractical are these people who die for love, what are they supposed to do than. We are the wrong ones who think like this as, we think and love and love cannot be thought it can be just felt, by innocent hearts. There are laws but they cannot help as long as individuals are emotionally blackmailed at home. There should be a change in the mentality and it should start from us.
I hope both of them and many others like them get to succeed in their love. God Bless them.
