a strange story

If we look around us, we will observe, that some times our heart goes out for some people about whom we think, that God what has he or she done, that you have made him or her suffer so much. I am also a witness of such a story.

It’s a strange, but true story, of how the grass suffers when elephants fight. I had a friend, she was an ordinary girl of a good family. She was not beautiful but very cultured, and genuinely noble and sweet natured, this invited her doom. A very rich boy of her locality, who was NRI living in UK, fell in love with her head over heals, she was not aware of this case, because she was one of those typical Indian women who don’t know any thing outside their home, office and family. This boy kept on pressurizing his family for her hand, whereas they have already almost fixed his marriage with their business partner’s daughter. So the two families first tried to convince their son and then when they failed they took a twisted path. To prove themselves right and the girl wrong the hired some local duffers to black wash her, these creeps did their job well, they used to harass her every time she used to walk out of the door, repeated complaining to the police did nothing, because these duffers were politically harboured and their kingpin was of the same locality of the girl. They terrorized the girl’s family that they will throw acid on the girl if they dare to interfere in their activities.

They made the life of that girl hell, being a normal girl like you and me, she first tried to protest, then she slowly started to lose her trust and affection for human beings, and became extremely rude and cold. Her pursuers did not stopped there, they appointed some girls with shady character to befriend her, so that they can prove their point to the neighbours, that she too is a bad woman that is why she is being targeted.

Slowly and meticulously they cornered the girl and forced her to leave the city after completely black washing her image. When that boy returned three year later he saw that the girl was not living in that town, they tried to convince him that she is a woman of easy morale, but he did not believed them, even after they gave him dozens of proofs. As the girl has left the town after being terrorized she did not left her address with any one. The boy announced that his relationship with his parents is off and he is going back to UK to not to return.

Then his parents tried to track the girl down, and with their financial power they did, and the boy, when he saw the girl, he was shocked to see that there was nothing common in the girl he has loved and the one she has turned into. And to add to the glory, she was now hell bent to not to marry, because she was afraid that her stalkers will harm him also. So he left India and got settled in UK after cutting off all relation with his family.

Now both of the families went after the girl again, thinking that she is the one to be blamed for, this time they did not succeeded much, because they did not had any hold in the city where the girl has settled, but that did not stopped them from trying, they are still at it. They keep that girl under watch, so that, their son never comes near her.

I only think sometimes, whether these families will ever be able to live in peace after they have ruined a person who has not done them any harm or did not even knew that she was reason behind their any kind of problem? Instead of controlling their own son, or discussing with her openly they chose a twisted way of acting because they could afford it.
