She yelled at him "You had no rights putting me in this position. I was clear on my demands before i agreed to be in a relationship with you. Now don't tell me 'Us' cannot happen". She was furious,panting, a moment away from slapping him hard but she knew her boundaries. "I tried my best to convince them.They wont agree. Try and understand" He said. "Try and understand!! You understand mister" her voice still high "i have been with you for five whole years and you can't dismiss 'Us' cause your parents don't agree. Its your life dam it. Take your own decisions."
"Speak up" she screeched "decide something." Taking a deep breath he said "I am sorry.I love you still i gotta let you go. But please dear believe me when i say I love you.I really do" She stared at him,thinking deep. She wanted to cry not because she was loosing love but she loved someone so foolish and dependent and that in so many years she never saw this coming. "You don't love me" she said in a soft voice. "Yes i do" he replied instantly. "Then why is it so easy for you to let me go? Why aren't you fighting for me? Instead you are defending your parents. Why aren't you going out of your way to keep me in your life? Parents,jobs, careers are just excuses dear. If someone really wants to be with you, they will do whatever it takes to make you stay and you aren't doing anything."
" I tried" he said in a low tone. "You did i agree but not hard enough to claim that you ever loved me" saying this she stormed out.
He moved back and forth figuring out a way to handle this. He couldn't keep both of them happy. Someone would be left broken hearted and either ways his heart was gonna be shredded to pieces.She was dismantled for no fault of her own. She had asked him,she had made it clear beforehand to him to date her only if he intends to marry her. He said he had the most amazing family and they will happily accept his choice. They dated,dating turned into love and love into a relationship. Now five years later suddenly this guy walks in saying his folks have a problem.
" I tried" he said in a low tone. "You did i agree but not hard enough to claim that you ever loved me" saying this she stormed out.
Sad! It took five long years to undersatnd each other! Earlier the better!!
ReplyDeletewe claim we know people.. but they have all ways to prove us wrong :)
Deletethe boy should have showed some guts to somehow ask his parent to meet the girl, and should have tried every other way in his pocket if it was his true love.
ReplyDeletejust by saying that he love her does not mean that he really loves.
and that too a 5 year relationship.
agree himanshu...
DeleteI think even if he tried his level best may be he would have had to lose his parents to keep her...... :(
DeleteSad. Happens all to often in real life.
ReplyDeleteit happens wid a lot of ppl.. eventually one suffers the most
Delete...and Sneha you are not doing this to me for the first time, this time you just grabbed my collar and threw me 3+ years back... and I could say only that much here, hope you will understand.
ReplyDelete...may be a good reason I am addicted to your posts and seriously, I look for you post when ever I jump into "post from my network"
u really flatter me :) m glad you like my posts so much!1 :)
DeleteYeah ... this is the reality, the harder way...
ReplyDeleteyeahhh!!
Deleteits all about priorities...and end of most long term relationships will happen in this way. Other wise it wont run so long to decide to think to marry or not. with in one or 2 yrs they get marry.
ReplyDeletewell this is my opinion...
nice writing style ya, cudnt stop myself from reading full.

thanks chitra :) :) agree max relationships end dis way.. its sad to see ppl hu can have a gr8 future together part away!
Deletethis topic has been very dear to me...since i don't know when.....but i always wonder what is right? to go with parents decision or to elope with your lover.....
ReplyDeleteHere is what i have told to myself:
If you love someone then try to convince your parents
If you really someone and think your parents are not right then don't ever get married if your parents don't want you get married with your lover...
Otherwise there are lots of options and excuses
well what i think is not to promise what u can't fulfill.. and if you know you can't marry keep things transparent from the start... :) :)
DeleteDon't give out promises unless you are really brave enough to fulfill them!! He is a coward and that is what several are out here! A nice one showing the real time happenings instead of just the same one in films!! Great going!!
ReplyDeletethanks harikrishna.. agree with you... :)
DeleteSo true, there's something with the Indian men psyche...love and regard for parents keeps them away from taking their own decision of a life partner and makes them weak in their knees. Actually its the known mentality and upbringing of our society, where women are taught to adjust, sacrifice and stay silent, while guys find it tough to even voice out their opinion and rights of being a couple. A man must find his voice in front of his parents and if he cannot in the very beginning, he would never speak a word later in a married life either.
ReplyDeletevery true himani..good to not get tied up with such men who can't stand up for they want but hide in the face of culture to follow what others decide for them
Deleteits so sad to see people making commitments and not living up to it. However on the other side, you cant end relationship wid ure parents also. They are and should be the priority.
ReplyDeleteproblem is we dont give enough thought before starting something, the long term sustainability of it. Love happens, but you can end it before it hurts someone too much if we know it wont work out.
good one

Very rightly said SJ :)
DeleteIt was 10 years for me. Just few months passed now.
DeleteI will say these are happenings which are better to face. Timber never takes the proper polish without the hard seasoning.
Thats a sad thing... 10yrs is a lot of time. How could you do it?
DeleteCongratulations Sneha :)

Aaawwwwww thanks rehya soo much... I will do the formalities later.. Exam ahead... But thank you much
DeleteThis is one side of the story. Boys too face similar issues sometimes from girl's .
ReplyDeleteAgree.. Am just quoting a situation.. It can happen either ways
DeleteQuite a predicament Sneha! Strange in five years a girl could not see the guy through:) Your writing is perfect like always:)
ReplyDeleteThank u sir.. May be we know what will happen or hte kind of person we are with.. But we somewhere we cling on to the small hope that it might work in the end that we forget to realise when to leave a relationship
ReplyDeletein a way someone, who cannot stand up for u now never will...better not to have such a person in ur life at all, isnt it?
ReplyDeleteYes little princess... :)
DeleteSometimes we can't see somethings..sometimes love makes us blind and sometimes we wish the one we loved, loved us back with the same intensity and not leave us or blame us or say they tried...
ReplyDeleteLovely story...
Take Care
:) :) exactly
DeleteBitter fact...
ReplyDeleteMay some of us get a lesson from this indeed post..

you can always follow!! welcome to my blog :)
DeleteEverything has been said in comments now...I can just say, It hurts! I have seen people going through such things. 5 yrs with a stranger!!! You write really well!! :-)
ReplyDeletethanks priyaa
Deletewe should ask to ourselves that we love someone or not!
ReplyDeleteIt's a feel we need not to tell someone...just feel ourselves!
That is it in your post!
sour truth....
I am blessed than to have the guy with the guts to not let me go and still be with his folks.....
ReplyDeletebeautiful post, as always :)
ReplyDeletewent through the comments and was pleasantly surprised. How easily you all called him a loser, liar, cheater.
But then, I guess, in such situations, there is nobody but luck/destiny, to blame. If we have to chose in between parents and love, I guess, many would only let go of love.
Hypocrisy of society, you see.
When they actually love for 5 years, they do everything that they can to convince. I guess.
