CHAPTER 31: GOOD BYE

Chapter 31: Good bye

Seeing that Tarun was not giving up on Rathi, Gowri advised her husband...

Ajay, if you don't want to lose your son don't force him to marry Meena anymore.

But Gowri what about the promise we made with Ramesh and Meena.

That's our mistake we should have asked Tarun's opinion first. Even if we force them to marry, do you think your son accept Meena has his wife? Or do you think they will be happy? I don't think so, better we talk to Meena and Ramesh and apologize to them for what we have done.

You are right Gowri, we will talk to siblings and apologize. Then we search a nice guy for our Meena.

After there talk Ajay and Gowri spoke to Ramesh and Meena. Ramesh was not ready to agree initially, he made them feel guilty. But he agreed to there option reluctantly.

Ajay started to search a suitable groom for Meena. Many families came to see Meena but rejected giving silly reasons. Once even the engagement was fixed but got canceled last moment because the groom found Tarun and Meena in compromised situation.

Since that fatal day everything went havoc they never gave Tarun a chance to explain and blamed him for taking advantage of Meena, all stopped talking to him.

After that rumor spread like wildfire. Meena`s mental health started to effect and she committed suicide.

Chapter

Everyone blamed and held Tarun responsible for Meena`s suicide. But Ajay didn't know that they were pushing Tarun away from them. Tarun just left a letter bidding his family goodbye.

Ajay wiped his tears remembering those events took a neatly folded old paper which he had kept in his wallet. He slowly opened and began to read it.

TARUN' S GOOD BYE LETTER

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know you blame me for Meena`s suicide, even I blame myself for it. I loved Meena as my own little sister and I have seen how she grow up in front of my eyes. May be that's why never got attracted towards her. My feelings for her were just pure as I`ve for Seema di.

So it's difficult for me to accept her as a wife, even if I didn't have Rathi in my life.

Sorry I should have said about Rathi to someone, so you guys couldn't think about our marriage. But I wanted to win my Rathi`s heart first which was not an easy task for me. She had her own reasons and insecurities to accept me, since she was an orphan. Also her mother got cheated by a guy whom she married against her parents wishes. He married her and after couple of months he sold her to a brothel.

Then her mother met someone who bought her out of that hell hole. They got married, but an accident took both there life in which Rathi was the only one survived. But once the happy family who had lovely relatives was changed all of the sudden. Soon after parents death all her relatives took control over their properties and left her in an orphanage.

You guys called her jinx and what not?

She didn't want to accept my love, even tried to go far away from me when you asked her to leave me. She is the sweetest person I ever met, who even asked to me try to change my feelings towards Meena and marry her.

I know you don't believe her, may be say she is acting. But I know how my Rathi is. If love could change easily by someone`s saying or pressure, then it`s not called love, it's just attraction or lust.

When everyone caught me and Meena in that ambiguous position, that day she was consoling me because previous day evening Rathi went missing. It was just an friendly hug which damaged our life's permanently.

Rathi was missing, no one didn't know where she went, Vijay contacted his friend in police and then we found out that she was kidnapped. We were not able to find any clues about her. Meena got to know about it when she heard my conversations with Vijay and was trying to console me.

We couldn't find who was behind her abduction. She was sold by someone to a sex trafficker and we found out they were smuggling her to some other country. Not only Rathi we found many girls locked in a cargo container, in which many of them were under aged. They were drugged and some girls went into coma due to over dosage of drugs.

Rathi was also in coma for whole ten days, when she woke up she was so scared even she didn't want doctors near her. Doctors had to sedate her in order to keep her clam. It took more than two month before she could to talk normally.

In all these things I neglected Meena and never paid attention what was happening with her. Why she was depressed and started to hallucinate things about me. I really don't know because last time when I spoke to her she was very happy that she was getting engaged and told me to marry the one I love and take care of her.

I didn't knew Meena was so heartbroken that she would commit suicide. If I knew about it I would have tried to find solution for it. But I was very late, now my family hates me to core and taunts me, they can`t even look at me. It hurts me to know that no one in my family believes me and they all hate me and even consider me as a murder.

So I`ve decided to leave this house and town with Rathi go far away, because I know if I bring her to this house she wouldn't get love and care that she deserves. So it`s best for us to leave far away from you guys.

My Rathi is very fragile and needs me now more than ever. I can`t leave her alone, she is my love and my responsibility which I can`t escape from.

I know Seema di and Ramesh will take care of you guys, so it put me in ease. Please convey my apology to Ramesh because I was the reason for his lovely and innocent sister`s death. I know no one can forgive me, I myself find it impossible to forget about Meena. May her soul rest in peace.

Please tell Suresh that his MAMU didn't mean to kill his aunt. Hope everyone accepts my apology and continues to leave their life happily with me being out of the picture.

I just hope one day everyone will forgive me.

I love you all.

Mom please don't cry over useless son, take care of your health and dad.

Good bye everyone

Yours son

Tarun
