Born To Be With You

Part 3: The Helplessness

That night madhu cried on her fate she couldn't do anything the talk with Rk has made her wounds fresh. She had no choice other than breaking Rk's heart mercilessly, in their village news spread like fire if anyone would come to know about them they would beat Rk till death. In their village girls were married to men almost 10 years elder to them they had no chance and Rk cared for madhu she couldn't put Rk's life in danger. After that she never talked to Rk she always avoided him, whenever he tried to talk to her madhu made some or the other excuse and went away. They had final exams madhu wanted to help Rk in preparations but she knew if once she talks to Rk she wont be able to deny her feelings. Madhu's exams went good she was sure she would get good marks but she was deeply hurt thinking she couldnt study anymore, she wanted to study she was passionate about becoming a doctor, but she knew her dreams would burn in the stove of the kitchen of her husbands house.

On the other side Rk was broken he could understand why madhu said no to him but also he felt very sad , he tried to talk to her many times but she avoided him. Rk's exam also went good with in two weeks he was going to go to the city for college as in their village the highest education they can get was till 10th standard. Rk was very sad he knew that he wont able to see madhu after two months. One evening Rk was passing by the fields when he saw madhu crying sitting near a tree. He rushed to her "Madhu what is wrong why are you crying" in reply madhu hugged him tight and started crying. Rk hugged her back and tried consoling her "Madhu please dont cry tell me what happened" "Rk they are getting me married. I dont want to marry so soon, I want to become a doctor. Bhaiya always said that he would let me complete my studies but when he said studies he meant only till 10th standard" "Madhu dont cry we will do something, you please stop crying" "Why am I born in this village, Rk it is nothing but a curse on me I love you but i cant tell you , I want to study but i cant there is no value of my wishes. Rk even if make myself agree for a marriage but a marriage with a old man is something i dont want, help me rk please help. I left all my dreams and now i only wish to get married to someone who understands me, i wish i could marry you" "Madhu it is not like that , you try talking to your dad about it and i will try my best , trust me" "Nothing will happen Rk i tried many times" "Try once again for me" "Ok i will" "Now go back to your house it is getting dark and please dont cry" "Bye" "Bye" madhu replied and went. That moment Rk made a promise to himself, he couldnt see madhu like this, he knew what he had to do and how he had to but for that he had a plan. He couldn't let him madhu get stuck in marriage which had no meaning, marriage to a person who is her fathers age.
