You have loved a girl for 6 long years, yes 6. Right from school to college to work, the same girl, you spend your time, efforts and money on.
All this while building a successful career. Fame and money is no longer your pursuit. You’ve made enough money in that age that some people can only dream of in their lifetime.
You ask her parent’s approval for your marriage. They say caste, money and status are a big problem.
Yes, they say that money isn’t enough. They want more. They strongly say caste is an issue. Not only her elder sibling but also her parents had an intercaste love marriage. Wait, this isn’t even the biggest hypocrisy.
After all the fiasco the girl’s parents plan an arranged marriage, and she goes to an extreme to stop it. Gets beaten blue and black by her relatives.
The drama goes on for another 5 months. They go out together in March 2023 and stay in touch until June. The girl loses her strength, chooses to give up on her love.
The boy as good as he was raised, accepted her decision. Choose not to disturb. Leave her alone, let her have a happy peaceful life.
3 months pass by. Hardly 3. A quarter, the same time some companies have a performance review.
We get the news that the girl is getting married. No, we are not surprised, we know it was going to happen. It was the only choice left.
But then they say it is an arranged marriage. The boy is from a different caste, one of her MBA classmates who she had been friends with for like 12 months.
This put us speechless, we don’t know what to say. The next day we received their marriage pictures. My friend breaks down, haven’t seen him cry in all the years I’ve known him except for the death of that girl’s father.
This time he sheds tears for her marriage.
I don’t know what to say. Because life is unfair and whatever happens, life has to move on. Right?
