Chapter 107: chapter 107

Aman - Why are you fearing? Everything is right and everything is good. After our marriage, your parents will also accept us. I assure you. Hemlatta - Hmm…Her phone buzzed. She looked at the screen of her mobile phone. She said shockingly, “It’s the call of my mom! They must have come to know about me!”Aman - How come she came to know about all this? It’s not possible. They must have called you normally. Pick up her call and talk to her normally. Hemlatta - No, I won’t pick up her call. I can sense something is wrong. Aman - It’s just your overthinking, my sweety. Don’t worry. All is well. Hemlatta - I don’t want to pick up her call. Aman - Okay, don’t pick up her call. Switch off the phone and relax. Hemlatta - No, I don’t even want to switch off my phone. I don’t know why. To console her, I placed my hand on her shoulder and said, “Okay, do as you want. After some time, everything is going to be alright.” Hemlatta - Hmm…Again her phone buzzed. She ignored the call. But her mom was calling her again and again. She called about twenty times! She kept on ignoring the calls. Then her dad’s calls started coming! She said in a fearful voice, “I told you they must have come to know about me. That’s why they are calling me now.”Aman - But how come they came to know about us? Only two people knew about this, you and me. Even my mom doesn’t know about it!Hemlatta - I don’t know how it happened! But they came to know about us. Now, I also got scared by her. Her phone buzzed again and this time it was the call from his cousin! Hemlatta - Oh shit! My brother is calling me now!I was shocked, “What! There is really something wrong. We should get married quickly. Why the hell our advocate is not coming?”I quickly asked his P.A., “Where is the advocate?”P.A. - He is busy in another case. He will be coming shortly. Aman - But my case has become an emergency case. Her parents learned from somewhere that we are going to do a court marriage today. P.A. - Okay, I'll try to call him. Her phone was ringing again and again. Her mom, her dad, her brother, her taya ji (uncle) were calling her again and again! Seeing all this, I got hell scared! P.A. - I called him. He is coming. Aman - Okay. Hemlatta said, her voice quivered, “I fear they must have found my letter!”Aman - Letter? Which letter? Hemlatta - The letter that I wrote and kept in my alimrah!Aman - What! What did you write in the letter? Hemlatta - I wrote a letter to my parents. I wrote, “I tried my level best to make you agree for my marriage with Aman but all my efforts went in vain. Therefore, I am left with no other alternative except to do a court marriage with him. Today, I will be back home only after marriage.”Aman - What! You wrote everything! Why did you do it? She said sobbing, “Because I wanted to tell them why I eloped with you.”I got angry, “But stupid! Didn’t you even think that if they get your letter what will become of us, especially me? They can even get me in jail!”She said crying, tears rolling down her eyes, “I am sorry, Aman!”Aman - I can’t understand, in the first place, what was the use of writing the letter? You could have told them everything after our marriage on the phone. There is no point telling them before our marriage. You risked my life!She said weeping, “I am sorry, Aman.”The colour of my face became pale. I was not getting what to do now. She had done what she wanted to do. My eyes could see only one thing i.e. jail! At once, the story of heer ranjha struck my mind, “Heer and Ranjha were real lovers in real life. Ranjha took a big risk of eloping with her. As it was a very old story, at that time only swords, bows and arrows were used as weapons. Ranjha was a very strong archer. When Ranjha eloped with Heer, he took bows and arrows with him to fight with her brothers if need be.”“They went far away from their homes. Then at one place, Ranjha became tired and he wanted to sleep under a tree. While he was asleep, Heer feared that he might kill all her brothers with his bow and arrows. Her brothers could reach there at any time because they were looking for them. She picked up Ranjha’s bow and arrows and broke all of them.”“Soon her brother arrived there. Ranjha woke up to fight with them. He found his bow and arrows broken! Now, he had nothing left to fight with her brothers. Her brothers were armed with swords and he was bare handed now. In the end, her brothers killed him! It was how the real love story of Heer and Ranjha ended!”“And in my love story, Hemlatta broke all my bows and arrows by writing a letter to my parents! The stage is all set to ruin my life forever. Someone has rightly said we should never trust girls! One scholar wrote clearly in his book that girls are foolish by nature! People never liked that scholar. I never trusted his statement either. But now, I have no other option except to trust him!”I thought, “I also know that Hemlatta wrote this letter knowingly. She wanted her parents to know that she was going to the court. But now, she will try to become as innocent as possible as if she didn’t know that their parents were going to find her letter. She must have kept the letter in such a place where she knew her parents would always visit.”Hemlatta - Believe me, Aman. I didn’t know that they would find me letter so soon. I thought when they find, by then we will have got married. But they have found. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
