Part 7

One day, Pooja caught him in the middle of the playground, when he was playing with his friends. She yelled, "You are a coward, you can't share your feelings with me and hide yourself here and there from me. I think I should move on from you. Because I know you don't have any future. A coward can't have a future. I will become a doctor and you will just say, yes sir, yes sir". Her friend also repeated her words and taunted him saying, you should learn to say this line from today. And asked, "What will you say?" He didn't reply, and just ran away to hide his tears. And girls shouted more loudly, "Coward! Coward! Coward! until he doesn't disappear from their sight.

Veer in the washroom, cried silently. His friends came there running after him but he had locked the door of the washroom, already. Fortunately, no one was there inside the washroom except Veer. That day, in the class, everyone talked about him only.

Well, what Veer was thinking and why he cried matters. There were so many reasons which led him to cry that day. First, the reason was of course, " the coward title he got". But the second was that "she said, she should move on". That means she must have liked him too. The love and feelings were mutual. But he is so unlucky that her love said, she wants to move on. Without letting him enjoy those feelings of happiness. And third, is that he can't turn back and make everything right. Well, marriage is not about just two, it includes family and he had a huge family. He had to face them after his intermediate completion. And what if, she will not be able to adjust with them? And what about her dream to be a doctor? Well, he never wished for other women after that accident but educated women was his choice. And he knows his family better than anyone so he can guess better what will happen if he dares to take a bold step. In his family, every other lady gets jealous of each other, and males just beat their women when they get angry. And children grow up with favoritism and orphanage-like surroundings. Because they have to fight every day for one or another reason. Some may think it is normal in huge families but who cares to think that family is small or huge it doesn't matter. The oldest member or the member who makes all the decisions is responsible for this mess. And none was head of the family but everyone was head in his family.

So, who wanna decide, who is wrong and who is not?...
