chapter 7
My Promised Land
They says love is very pure, they says love didn't expect anything from loved ones rather it makes sacrifices. I knew from the beginning we were not a good match, because we had a great difference and that difference was between our status and standard.But he made me realise if we are truly in love then these things doesn't matters. In life if there comes any problem we can solve it together and we will never leave eachother at any cost. These were the promise we made to eachother at beginning of our relationship. But now I'm realising slowly that everything was a lie. He said social status difference doesn't matter but secretly gave money to my family so that we could match their standard. He said we would solve any problem comes together but he abandoned me as soon as this problem arises. He never once asked me what happened how this happened, if I really do it or not! Instead he made his own assumptions and decisions. He doesn't trust me at all. What's the meaning of love when there is no trust!"What's with your reaction? Don't act like a victim because you are not a victim, you are the perpetuator of this situation" he said."Believe as you wish, I have said everything I wanted to, from now on there is nothing between us and don't owe you anything,so don't get in on my way" I pushed him and tried to walk away from him.But he was not ready to give up on me. I also wanted to know what he actually want, I have nothing to give him still why was he after me?He grabbed my hand and stopped me again. "There is nothing between us! You don't owe me anything! Ha! This is your true face. The innocent and obedient face of yours were all fake, you fooled me and seduced me to take advantage of me, now when your desires are fulfilled you don't need me anymore. If your family is prosperous that's because my family, don't forget it" he said. "Family! Do I have one?" I said with a sad voice."What are you talking about?" He asked with surprise."Nothing, do whatever you want. Neither I have a family nor anything to loose, so you even can't get anything from me" I said. He became furious and said "is that what you said, don't blame me later".He dragged me out of the hospital and pushed me into his car then he took me to the police station. "I want to file an FIR on this lady for defamation and cheating" Omm said to police. I looked at him with surprise. "Didn't you said you have nothing to lose, are you afraid now?" So he was testing my patience and me. But he didn't knew I may be I'm thankful to him for doing me such a favour. My name is not spotless, I'm already getting scold and hatred by the people for those photos, If I will be tagged as a criminal then no one will come to my rescue. Everyone has already abandoned me. At least in jail they can provide me food and a roof. What could be great than this place! I also don't have any power to fight against Birlas.I feel it's a good thing. I had no where to go, so this place will be safer for me than outside. I will be safe from hooligans and human traffickers. So, I went inside the lock up without any complaint or argument. Like a doll I accepted my fate."Well I also want to see how long are you going to act arrogant" Omm said and truly filled an FIR against me.What's then! He never came to see me and court order to imprison me for three years. I had no money to eat so how could I get money to release myself from jail. I accepted whatever was coming to me.It's not like I want to live a long life, may be when everything will feel hard I will accept death. There is no purpose no meaning for me live this life. From then on my life on prison started. Life can change drastically at any moment. Who can say a sophisticated girl like me who always stayed in protection will end up in jail among prisoners!What could be funnier than this! The downfall I saw recently in my life has completely broke me. Now, all I can do is die peacefully. In jail I often got bullied then slowly this bullying transferred into beating. Still I was silent like a rock. It was like I didn't care if I live or die. My life was going on like that. Then I met one woman who gave me hope to live. One day when I was beaten and my hand was bleeding because of that. A woman came to me and tried to put some ointment on my wound. I refused her and pushed her away. She told me with a soft and polite voice "you want to live but you don't accept the fact, that's the reason you are suffering so much" she said. " You know nothing about me, so don't talk like you know and understand everything" I replied. "You are right I don't know anything about you, so can you tell me what made you not want to live anymore?" She asked.With her sweet voice and amicable behaviour I was about to say her everything but I stopped myself to get close to anyone. What if they will leave me and betray me! "I'm not interested in talking with you. So mind your own business" I said and was about to walk away."Isn't it strange those who wants to live they don't have the chance and those who want to die they couldn't die, so I'm here to make an offer to you, can you give your remaining life span to me?" She said.What's with this strange woman? I really don't get her point....
