A Story.......

"What....? you can't come with me".

That was the ending of an aberrant conversation. Kailash miffed and left the room with the firm decision of never to meet again. "But how could shivani?".....many questions were churning around in his unconfirmed mind.

Flash back......

They were called a perfect couple in college, both were damn sure that they will get married in future. Everything, every condition & every situation was just perfect for their marriage. Shivani was as good in each & everything as Kailash. Nobody was expecting that they will separate. But the day when Shivani was about to meet his parents, was the utter cursed day. Kailash's parents had chosen another girl for their son according to their status, their position, & their reputation. Shivani was shocked...& it took few minutes to understand what she heard just now, infact Kailash was not aware of it. He looked at shivani's face and said- wait..let me talk. He came with his mother separately and asked about what the hell was going on....?
But he was answered..."SHE IS NOT OF OUR CLASS.."
Do you have any idea  what are you talking about..?
Are you just out of your mind? 
And please don't ask these stupid questions to your dad?
He was freezed, and Shivani left the house immediately.

Few years later.....

In between they never met again. Shivani's parents fixed her marriage by their own choice & asked Shivani whether she liked him or not. She said yes without any arguement....and made her parents happy. Suddenly one day in the morning aroud 10 AM Kailash came to her home....she did not understand what to say. Her parents welcomed him. Her father left the home for the day & mother went to cook something for both. They were all alone in the room with a deep silence.

Coming back to the starting of the story.....

Shivani- How are you and your wife...?
Kailash- I did not marry...
Shivani- What......?
Kailash- I have left my home that very day. Come with me Shivani, we will start over again.................please.
Shivani- No.
Kailash- But why...?
Shivani- No, I can't. I can't hurt my parents.
Kailash- Ok, but you can hurt me without any hesitation...
Shivani- Couldn't you tell me before....that you did not marry........damn it.
Kailash- What now?
Shivani- I can't come with you Kailash....please leave me as i am.
Kailash- "What....? you can't come with me".
and with that Kailash left the room, & Shivani did not try to stop him.
Her mother came and said- why he left without having anything....?

sometimes we don't get what we really want and deserve as well,
only due to our egos, knowing that it hurts others and us equally...
but yet it happens....
