Adventure story. 696. Searching for wife

                                                      Searching for wife       

Tarun started to write everything with full concentration. He needed to feel fully positive. In each word he was expressing his feelings. He started to think that he needed to work hard. He looked around. He had nice house. It was small but nice one. Sarika wasn’t happy in it. He knew that. From the day when they started dating Sarika always kept showing strange admiration for her Parent’s house. He wanted to feel positive in her heart. He remembered those dates. They were so wonderful. But her attachment to her parents was never hidden. One day his family asked him about his plan about marriage. He told them about Sarika. His family decided to ask Sarika’s parents. He wanted to warn her. But he couldn’t nothing went in right way. Her parents rejected his proposal. Now he needed to convince her regarding marrying him. He was planning to insist on his love. He wrote it for hours & finally he decided to give it to her personally. He took out his bike & began to drive towards her house. He knew that he needed to reach her home & her parents were not positive about him. But he needed to convince. He came to door & rang door bell. Her Mom opened door. He was expecting angry look but her mom smiled & said “Come in.” Her Mom told him to sit down. “Are you here regarding marriage proposal?” He nodded. “Sarika didn’t see you as her husband.” “What?” Her Mom looked little frustrated but she continued. “Come on you can surely understand. Girls have their wishes. Their dreams! They create some person who will be match for them.” “I don’t get it. She liked me when we date.” “Of course, & you need to keep trying. Slowly she might find that love in you. It will take sometime I know but you need to work hard. You need to make her fall in love with you. Have you understood?” He nodded. He was nodding but it was behind his grasp. He couldn’t make Sarika fall in love with him. He felt so nervous. He began to get so stressed. He wanted to feel hopeful but he kept getting negative about all thoughts. He needed to think positively about all. He smiled & said “I will try.” Then he went back with his letter. He didn’t understand why he didn’t able to express himself. He was so frustrated. He began to feel that he couldn’t feel positive since he didn’t able to convince Sarika. He was about to go when her mom said “She is upstairs. Why don’t you go & talk?” He nodded. He went upstairs. She was sitting. He slowly came near her. She was clearly crying. She saw him & immediately declared “We must stop dating.” He didn’t understand what was going on. He slowly asked “Why?” “I don’t love you. I want to search for person whom I will love. You are not the one.” He felt so upset. But he didn’t say anything. He just looked stressed. She sensed it but she said “I may leave.” He felt so insulted. He just stood up & left room. He knew one thing that he didn’t want to have any connection with Sarika any more. He returned home & immediately declared it. His father looked happy. “I don’t want that rich girl to get married in our house. She looked like snob.” But his mom looked sad. “Are you sure? I mean you can give another try.” “No Mom. I will start searching for new girl.” His father “What about Meena? She is nice girl daughter of my friend.” He immediately nodded. He just wanted to start dating. His father immediately fixed one date for him. When his office would close next day, he would go & meet Meena.

        Tarun was so angry. Sarika was enjoying those dates. He was certain about it but suddenly all changed. It began to create impact on his mind. His heart began to get upset. He wanted to feel hopeful but his life was already shattered by negativity. He looked towards clock on wall. He checked timing. It was so frustrating. He knew that Meena was coming to meet him with hope. But in his heart, he was having negativity. He wanted to keep control of situation this time. He needed to make sure that he would be one who could be fooled. Sarika fooled him. He was going to keep it in his mind. He knew that he was going to be late if he didn’t leave immediately. But he decided to wait. He knew that if he went there late then it would have different. He knew it since he waited for Sarika on many dates. He felt so upset. He didn’t understand how could he pretend everything was fine. He needed to do that but he couldn’t. He told himself to calm down. He needed to smile. He went in rest room of office. He watched his face carefully. He was looking so nice. He was so happy. He began to hope that soon he would find some way impress Meena. Meena needed to be impressed by him. He must manage to get nice girlfriend soon. If possible, he wanted to get married soon. He didn’t want anyone to know that Sarika left him. It was going to be worst thing for him. He did so much to impress her. He considered her as important as his every breath & now he needed to replace her. He began to cry slowly. He was so upset. Anyone could enter in that restroom after all it was office’s restroom. It was so embarrassing if someone noticed him crying. He was feeling so stressed. He told himself to control his emotions. He smiled & started to go where his father told. He began to get so tense. He wanted positivity in his life but it wasn’t happening. He was getting upset but still he managed to smile. Finally, he reached to that point where he was planning to meet Meena. He began to search for Meena. He didn’t saw her photo. He totally forgot it. Suddenly one ordinary looking lady came near him. She gave him smile. He began to think that she must be Meena. He wasn’t expecting good looking girl. But this girl was so ordinary. Most importantly she looked little stupid. That girl gave nervous smile & said “Hello Tarun! I am Meena.” So, she managed to see his photo. He supposed to feel impressed by it but he was not. He wanted a girl who looked better than Sarika. He didn’t want ordinary looking girl. He gave smile which was telling he was superior than her. Meena didn’t mind. Meena just pointed towards table & said “That’s our table let’s go.” So, Meena was waiting for him such a long time. But it didn’t impact Meena so much. She was in her world. It seemed as if Meena never got such nice man as date so she was happy to have this chance & she was not ready to reduce that happiness. Meena kept chatting. She kept smiling. He answered in limited words but it didn’t impact Meena since she wasn’t paying attention to him. She was lost in her world. She was enjoying that date & she didn’t plan to pay any attention to his negativity. She was happy in her dream world with her positivity.

           Tarun was hoping that during that date Meena would sense his negativity but she didn’t. She kept talking. Finally, he told her that they needed to go home. She agreed to it. When he reached home, he couldn’t find any negative word about Meena. She was nice girl. He wanted to like her but he was frustrated. He was so angry. His anger was capturing his mind. He couldn’t think positively. His parents were very excited about this date. He sensed that they didn’t want Sarika as their daughter-in-law any more. Clearly Sarika’s parents must had said something. He sensed one thing with more emphasis his parents didn’t want him to have any connection with Sarika. Sarika’s parents were suggesting that they should continue to date. One day she would fall in love with him was Sarika’s parent’s hope which they were planting in his mind. But he wasn’t sure. He wanted to try it. This entire incidence was painful for him. He needed to feel hopeful but he was feeling totally negative. He didn’t understand what was wrong with him. He was so stressed in his heart. He kept searching for way to fall in love with Meena & forget Sarika. He needed to do it fast. He couldn’t smile but he said slowly to his parents “I plan to get married with Meena.” They looked so happy. His father “You liked her so much?!” “Actually, I wanted to settle down & life isn’t moving in right way for me. I know Sarika doesn’t like me so I need to get married as soon as possible.” His parents looked towards him with shock look. His father said “I don’t want you to get married in such hurry. You need sometime to think.” He didn’t say anything. Then his mom also agreed with his father & said “I feel you need to take some break.” He began to agree too. He couldn’t destroy life of some girl just because he wanted to hide his girl friend cheated on him. He told himself that he needed to remain positive regarding all. His mind was so nervous. His positivity was reducing step by step. He wanted to think in hopeful way but he couldn’t. He said “ I will just date her.” So after that they began to meet daily. He was paying full attention to her. He was trying to think about Meena in positive way. He was working hard to reduce his negativity in entire matter. He began to try hard to make it work. Every day he was going out to meet her. She came with same interest. She kept talking with same happiness. He didn’t understand what was going on. One day he suddenly received call from Sarika. She said “I am ready for date!” He was so shocked. He didn’t want to say “No” But still he needed. He said roughly “Sorry I am dating another girl.” Sarika said “Okay.” & disconnected call. He was expecting some sorrows from her. He thought that she would plead. But nothing like that happened. She just disconnected his call. He was so upset. He began to feel restless. He knew that she was just trying to date again but he started to hope again. He began to think to stop dating Meena. He felt that he needed to start dating Sarika again. He called Meena. He told her about Sarika. Meena sounded so upset. Meena “But I thought you are planning to marry me now!” “I was but now Sarika is coming back…” “Okay.” Meena disconnected call. He called Sarika & told her that they could start dating. When he told this to his parents, they were so angry. His father “You are losing your mind.” “Yes, maybe I am but I want to marry Sarika. I don’t like Meena.” His Mom gave angry look & said “Fine. But now remain stuck to it.” He nodded. After that his parents stopped taking interest in his life. Sarika used to come on dates sometimes. But slowly she reduced it.  He began to feel so nervous. He started to have nightmares in which Meena was cursing him for his dishonesty. He couldn’t believe it. He knew that Meena was no longer part of his life. But he began to feel that Meena was bringing bad luck on him. He decided that he needed to talk with her. He called Meena & asked “So do you hold grudge on me?” Meena said in odd way “Who is speaking?” He was so shocked. “Stop pretending. We were dating for some time.” “Oh! Tarun! I don’t want you to call me again. I don’t want to start dating with you again so stop irritating me.” He was so shocked. “So, you are dating some one else?” “I am not in hurry to find someone like you. I will marry if I fall in love otherwise I will not & I am never going to fall in love with you I am sure about it.” Then she disconnected call. He didn’t understand what was happening with him. He was no longer feeling positive but clearly Meena wasn’t its cause. He couldn’t sleep at night. Then he began to sense he needed help. He decided to take appointment of Psychiatrist. He had one under his office. He one day went there & took appointment. He kept getting those nightmares. Slowly his pain was visible on his face. His parents blamed it on his wrong decision. Then finally he went for that appointment. He entered in room & immediately told all to Psychiatrist. Finally, he asked “Did I done wrong by saying no to Meena?” “No, you done wrong by starting to date her. You done right by saying no to her before marriage since you were cheating to Meena. You shouldn’t have started dating Meena immediately after break up. You are getting those nightmares due to guilt. You need to talk with Meena & apologize. Tell her why you said no to her. She might get angry but you deserve whatever she says to you.” He nodded. Then Psychiatrist said “& you need to stop dating Sarika. Stay away from her. Don’t date anyone for some time.” Then Psychiatrist gave him some medicine too. He called Meena & apologized. Meena just said “ I just want you to forget all. We need to move on.” He agreed with her. They decided that they would never meet again happily. Then he messaged Sarika that he wanted to stop dating. After sometime he began to forget all those dating issues. It took sometime but slowly those nightmares stopped too. He began to concentrate on his career while ignoring his love life. After sometime he stopped his Psychiatric treatment as per Doctor’s instructions. His life became normal. He began to get better in his work. One day Sarika called. But he didn’t feel much love towards her. He just told her “ This is over accept it.” She said “ Okay.” In few days he found her with another fellow. He felt little hurt but he also felt glad that he stopped dating her. On that day he took appointment of Psychiatrist discussed. But after that discussion he went ahead with his life normally. He decided that he would wait for life partner if he found one great otherwise, he was fine as he was.
