I paid a price for loving someone

I paid a price for loving someone

Do you think the heading above is too filmy?

Not only you, anyone will find it filmy which is often heard in movies etc but a tragic story is hidden in the topic which I’m excited to share.

Come along with me.

I still feel butterflies when I remember the days when Raghav and I were dating. Love was in the air. I was the only daughter and my parents loved me and pampered me to such an extent that anyone would be surprised to see me.

My dad was a businessman and right from my childhood I got anything and everything I wished to have.

I was 20 years old then when I was in a relationship with Raghav and that same year I got a BMW as a birthday gift from my parents. Talking about Raghav, he was from a middle-class family and I did not have any problem with it because I had loved him truly, status and money did not matter for me.

We decided to get married and I told my parents about it, they were hesitant to agree and they told me to be careful while making the decision but I was so blind in love that I was okay with anything. Seeing my desperation to marry him they agreed and both the families started the arrangements for our marriage.

And we got finally engaged and married on the 21st of September 2018. No one was happier than me because I was married to my prince charming which I guess every girl dreams of marrying one day. All the rituals were over and I bid goodbye to my parents and then drove off to Raghav’s house.

Everyone welcomed us so well and the people there were very loving and they treated me as if I already was a member of that family. Then we entered our room but Raghav told me he got something very urgent so he had to go out and I acted mature and said: “come soon, dear”.

I woke up the next morning but guess what Raghav had already left for the office. I felt weird but I tried to ignore it thinking I was overreacting. I called him and he told me he had an urgent meeting so he left the home early and asked me to forgive him.

We both smiled and I asked him to come home early. Late in the evening, the doorbell rang and there my Raghav had come home.

I was so happy and we both sat together to drink tea right then my dad called me saying he had a surprise wedding gift for me and asked me to check the email.

I checked it and Oh my goodness he had transferred the farmhouse property, the business to my name and I was on top of the world seeing it. I couldn’t thank God more for blessing me with such a father. Raghav saw it and he congratulated me.

Days passed by and it was our one month anniversary and I had planned a surprise for Raghav. I had already told him to be at home by 6 pm but it was already 9 pm and there was no sign of him. I was so mad at him then. He came back home at 10 pm. As soon as he entered I screamed at him asking why he ignored today’s day and his reply was ” Do you want to hear it? I am not. Interested in spending a minute with you so please let me live my life as I wish” I was broken.

That day he told me the truth behind marrying me. All those weird actions of him which I ignored was the ones which I had to pay attention to but I regret I was so stupid.

He went into the room to bring something, I sensed that anything further could be harmful to me and thank God I was smart enough to place the camera to record everything with one of my phones and called my dad with another telling him to come with the police.

He came and threw the property papers and asked me to sign them and transfer them to his name. He started forcing me and started to slap me when I refused to do so.

I had to be strong at that point and had to work smartly because I had to keep him engaged till the police arrived. I started arguing with him but he was so angry and he screamed saying he just dated me for my money, he never loved me. He forced my hand and asked to sign. Now I had no option then I pretended to sign and I smartly signed in a different way but in anger, he couldn’t see it. He snatched the paper and was about to leave the home after which he had planned to run away when the police were there.

He was caught, so I gave the video evidence to the police and made it clear that the signature was not real. He was arrested and taken from there to jail.

I cried so much hugging my dad but my dad said-” We are always with you. I’m proud of you, my daughter. You were so strong and smart enough to have such a cheater get caught” Yes, till today I feel the pain but I have been overcoming it because I chose to move on because I did not deserve to be depressed as I wasn’t the one to make the mistake. With my parent’s effort and love, I’m living my life once again.
