Because It's You

Pain: Part 1

It is 5 P.M. and after some time people can see the great view of the sunset from the temple. Birds are returning to their home. Same with people, some are returning to their home & some are coming for evening Aarti. But avoiding this beautiful view someone is sunken into his memory lane. He always came here to talk with his Shivji when he can't do with anyone. But today, 1st time his father defends himself against his hatred towards him. So he is just trying to figure out, Is it really his fault?

Memory lane.... ... ....

He is happy. He is going to start his new life with his family. Yes, they are his family. He already accepted them as his family. He has to take care of them & obviously of his little brother. He is going to be a very good & responsible brother. Actually, he is already. A mixed feeling of happiness & nervousness is clearly seen on his face.

But Happiness doesn't come without a cost. His new family is really a big shot at having a well-run business in Rajasthan. He is really trying hard to adjust to this new environment. Everyone is good to him. He is good at studies and is always able to meet their exception. But with the passing of time, these expectations grow. Then it becomes never-ending demand. He finally realized that he is not here out of love but to become a shield to their own son. They did not want a Son but a caretaker for their business and a shadow to his younger brother. But he did not lose hope. He tried harder.

But there is a saying," Needs can be satisfied but not Greed". He is already grownups more compare to his age. He can't do more than this. They are treating him like a robot in which they invested. He bore...everything, The hit of his father in anger, the taunt of his mother, the insult of his sweet brother. He tolerated everything for one year.

Finally, he broke. He lost his hope and faith in goodness. He realized that he is just an orphan, who does not deserve happiness. So he runs away. At the age of 17, he did not know where to go, so he just reached his old home. But he did not expect there to be more he had to bear.

Can you imagine...His real parents, who abandoned him long ago are waiting for him. Due to his decision of running away, his mother who is well-known for his whereabouts all the time can't control herself & finally let the truth out.

His parents Harshvardhan & Anchal were in love but due to family pressure, his father went for an arranged marriage with Manjari. By that time Anchal was pregnant with little Abhi but she can't tell the truth to Harshvardhan after hearing his marriage news. The only option she chose was to leave him here (Sarbodaya Orphanage). But after all, she is a mother. She always has his news all this year. But hearing his disappearance, she broke, or maybe because of her guilt. She is in the last stage of her cancer. So finally she chooses to tell the truth to his father & Here they are.

But this news completely shattered him. He was already half broken. This blow was enough to hate the whole world who just used him for their convenience. He never complained but he can't digest the fact that he is an unwanted child or an immature mistake of his parents. That day, He died. His innocence, calmness, goodness, and care all died.

He came to Birla's house as per his mother's last wish. Where he is loved, cared and respected by all. He also gets the most precious thing in the world –Mother's love from his Manjari Maa (she is like a goddess, at least to him). But some wounds leave huge scars...he distanced himself from everyone to not get hurt again. And he really does not know why he is angry with his father, practically he has no fault. It was also a shock for him to know about his own son after 17 years. But he just can't forgive him. May be because he is the only person whom he can blame.
