FLASHBACK CONT...

Ram saw Arjun being dedicated while working and he took it as chance to shape Arjun. Ram started give tougher work, Ram also asked his friends or businesses associates for a favour. Arjun made sure that his work payed well enough.

After few months even till then  Arjun didn't give up Ram confronted him as to why he is working hard in the small age. Ram wanted clarification as his oldest child is working as if he has a burden to take care of.

Arjun replied as he was a family man, Arjun is going to marry Meera when becomes adult, and he has to take care of his pondati (wife). Arjun's answer stunned Ram as how could a 14 year old think like a old man.

Ram also had a doubt as who has been feeding him nonsense, why has he became adamant about Meera being his wife. Arjun may be Ram son but he felt Meera to be his daughter too.

And if he has a opinion about Meera's marriage then he would definitely not agree for her hand in marriage for Arjun's.  As there is 12 year difference between them. Ram asked Arjun who said that Meera is his wife for which he replied his amma (mom) has said that.

Ram then went to Krishna vani to ask her why she has been brainwashing her son.  Krishna vani wanted Meera because they are of same caste and rajendra's family is well off. Also Meera being only girl child on Rajendra side made her greedy.

According to Krishna vani Rajendra's family will give lot of dowry and gold jewellery Meera if gets married, and if the groom was her son then she can indirectly can enjoy all the benefits she can get.

Ram knew that he cannot change his wife's thoughts so he decided to change Arjun into a perfect husband material. Ram made sure that Arjun is kept away from Krishna vani.

Ram decided to send Arjun to abroad but Arjun was hell bent on staying with his wife, so Ram decided that he will send Arjun to the near by city. Ram also made sure that Arjun's possessiveness and his obsession with Meera never cross the line.

Ram had lot of his work put on Arjun's upbringing. Ram made sure to teach Arjun about love, feeling, communication, trust, loyalty between the couples. Ram also made sure that Arjun knew about privacy, that way when needed he can give some alone time.

Ram also taught Arjun to how to be respectful with anyone not worried about their gender, age, status, caste, etc. Ram made Arjun to become a perfect man infront of  everyone.

Arjun never questioned his father's upbringing as he knew that his father has seen world more and better than him. The way Arjun behaves is taught by his father, Arjun gained an separate identity just not being the village head's only son.

But soon after Ram was recognised as Arjun's father rather than the village head.for which Ram was truly proud of as he can see the upbringing he has given to Arjun is being yielded.
