The Letter (from daughter to father) Part II by Dinu Raju

Chapter 08.

In that night Raju’s father, Mr. Krishnamurthy came to the Maya’s place to meet Maya. All are amazed and

shocked.

“Nanna..”

“ Why are you here? Who is Maya..?”

“It’s me..Maya appeared”

“Can I talk to you for while?”

“Haa..”

“ Who are you?”

“ Maya..”

“ Maya?? What Maya?? Don’t you have a surname?”

“Maya Chandrasekar”

“Is this your house?”

“ No. This is my boarding place..”

“What is your home town?”

“ Goa..”

“Nanna.. Please stop.. She is my..”

“Who is she for you??” ahh.. She don’t have anyone.. at least parents?? Do you need to be her husband?”

“ Yahh.. I need..Raju shouted back..”

“ I got to know about everything.. She is not the perfect match for my son. Raju you can stay with her..ant

time.. You can use her..but she can’t be my daughter in low.. That’s it.”

“Nanna.. Just stop these bullshit..”

“Bullshit.. she is married lady.. Her husband is Shan. They already engaged and registered.. This is her

file..”

“Raju took it and throw it away. Everything is make-up”

“ Maya stay away from my son.. Mr.Krishnamurthy said and left.”

Maya understood what happened. She asked from Raju to go home. Raju wanted to stay but Maya forced

to go to home.

Everything happens like a dream. Maya waited three days for Raju. But he didn’t come. Because Raju’s

home became like a battle field. Maya switched off her phone and decided to go Goa and thank her father.

Again she flew to Goa. She stepped her home again. Her father, second mother and Shan waited for her.

They warmly welcome her. But Maya understood it was a fake. Maya don’t wanna stay at home. Without

entering the home she questioned the trouble from her father.

“Papa.. Why are you do that?”

“What?”

“ Fake marriage certificates?”

“ Those are not fake. Those are real. We are waiting for the bride.. Specially your husband. I explained

everything your friends father.”

“ Papa.. I don’t want to marry this bloody guy.”

“ What do you say? Shan snapped at the Maya”

He dragged Maya and put into the room and locked. After few minutes Mr.Chandrasekar got into the

room. Maya didn’t look at him.

“ Maya.. You just blind with love. Every woman want to marry a man. He don’t want to be the lover. If any

man loves you, and that man can protect you and especially he has money, more than that if he can give

baby for you.. he is the most suitable one. Shan is waiting for you for a long time. We are doing businesses

together. He’ll be your man. You have to be his lady.. Tomorrow we arranged the wedding. Get ready for

that.”

Because Mr.Chandrasekar didn’t have option except Maya to get freedom from the Mrs.Shanthi and Shan.

Maya squalled. But anyone didn’t care. They worked for the wedding. Shan was happy. Mrs.Shanthi was

extra happy but Mr.Chandrasekar was not. He remembered Latha and first day he took Maya for his hand.

The first day she went to school. The day they isolated in this world without Latha. The way Mrs.Shanthi

treated Maya before Married. He knew everything about Maya But at that time he was very desolated with

the family matters and he wanted see the Maya as very obedient girl for him without concern her dreams.

But everything was failed.

Next day morning Mrs.Shanthi came to the room. She didn’t find her in the room. But there was a letter.

It addressed to her Father.

Papaa,

                                                              You gave me feathers

                                                                            to fly

                                                                    for my dreams

                                                              you gave me a breath

                                                                               so

                                                                    Thank You papa

                                                                Thank you so much..

Papaa,

From the day I birth you gave me so many things to my life, everything I asked and everything I

didn’t ask. I know you have the courage to do everything for me. I know you’re the only one person who

wants to see my happiness as well as my mum. I did so many mischievous things in my life. I know, now

also you’re ready to accept me. Both of you had thousand of excuses for me more than I thought. Some-

times I failed my exams, competitions and so many things. So many people insulted me. But both of you

became my strength. I knew If I did anything wrong, you’ll accept me.

Papaa, I know you are the person who knows everything about me, you know the things what I need in

my life. I know you believe me.. Yahh I also believe you, until my last breath. But I have so many things

in my mind right now. I can’t tell everything by looking at your face, because I’m dump in front of you.

That’s why I wrote this letter.

Now I’m 23 years old. As everyone says, this is the best age to marry. Did you remember, the days

we put down? The day you business went down rapidly. Those days we didn’t have anything. Those days

anyone look at me. After making your status, everyone cares about us. Especially about me. WHY???

Because of true love?? Ahh.. Why did Mrs.Shanthi marry you?? Is it real love?? No Papaa.. It is for your

money.

From those days I got so many proposals. For what?? Because of dowry. As well as nowadays every-

one searching a girls with fair in complexion, the girl has good education to educate their babies, the girl

has good family background and good dowry. They like the girl without siblings most. That’s the reality

Papaa.. You need to give everything to your daughter and you have to give big dowry for the person who is

marring your daughter. I feel it is as the insurance for her life. With this everything she wants to sacrifice

her dreams, her needs for a man. I don’t understand what is this life??

Papaa, I have a question. Did you educate me for a boy? If I knew it I’ll never learn. I wasn’t learn-

ing for a boy? I learn very hard because I love it and for my dream and carrier. I’m really sorry about your

target of my education. I didn’t educate myself for a boy or a marriage.

I’m sorry Papaa I can’t agree with you in this time. I don’t wanna marry right now. As well as how

can others decide the most important decision in my life? It is wanted to decide by me. In this world, some

girls like to marry, Everyday they dreaming about the wedding, delivering babies, preparing foods and so

on. That type of girl wants to marry as soon as possible. I agree with it. Parents want to understand her

feeling and must give maximum support for life. Because that is the thing want their life.

Some girls want to be a priest. They find happy and satisfaction in that life. So any one who likes

to be priest how is she adjusting for a marriage life?? Some girls want to success their life with her carrier.

They worked hard. She passed so many sleepless nights for her dream. Because her life is her goal not the

others. They are very dedicative. They work while others sleeping. So How can society decide as “Every

girl want to marry at age 23”, “Every girls must deliver babies” So HOW??

So Papaa, Everyone is different. Please understand it. We are not same. Everyone is unique. So

without asking our feelings, without knowing our dreams, without understanding our hearts, how can

parents, elders, some boys decide our lives. We are not furniture or goods to share. We are also mankind.

Just understand that. We have own life. Elders, parents, brothers, sisters everyone can advice, can be sup-

portive, can be strength, can be a guider BUT anyone can’t be the decider, owner or holder of our lives.

Because I’m the owner of my life. Papaa.

Another thing, the lady has major three reasons to marry. First one is LOVE. Second one is ne-

cessity. Third one if for elderly life. Majority of people marry because of love. I agree with that 100%. Ac-

cording to my view, that’s the most appropriate condition for marry. Some girls marry for their necessity,

benefits and to be settling their lives. Another one is the girls worrying their old age. Anyhow without

love affection, feeling on an man, how does a girl give everything to man? How does she bear that pain?

How can I remove my clothes? How can I give my permission to touch me? Papaa.., Without my interest,

love and affection if you’ll tie the knot with a man it’s like you give your written permission to that man

to abuse me. Can you give your permission for that?? I can’t do it. Don’t ask it from me. I have to have a

reason for that. That reason must be the love. Because of that reason only I’ll marry.

Every lady does do so many scarifies for a man. Especially Asian ladies. Lots of ladies patience their

pains, sorrows, troubles for their love. It’s ok. They make their mind to do everything to that person who

loves. They are happy after seeing their husband’s happiness. That happiness is their world. That is satis-

faction of their life.

But some ladies are dying every day. Without having option, they live as dead bodies. They make

fake smiles in front the society. But their inside is burning. Without telling their own interest they are

keeping silent forever. Why?? Papaa.. I don’t want to be like that.

Papaa, I don’t like family life. I’m really afraid the pains those ladies are suffering. I don’t want to

be a just a housewife. I don’t want to be a machine of someone else. I don’t want to be a puppet. In short,

I need a family life with the person I love. After that only I’ll be a traditional lady. Papaa, there is a saying

“Every father cannot be a Dad.” I agree with that 100%. Lang time ago, you’re the best dad in the world.

But nowadays you’re a just father. What happened to my dad? I wanna see him back. Please father, bring

my dad quickly. Because you’re daughter suffering with so many troubles. I don’t have enough strength

to face those things and I’m alone here. No one with me Papaa. How can you stay like that? Please come

back.

                                                                                       I love you

                                                                                 I really miss you

                                                                                            And

                                                                                       I’m sorry..

                                                                                                                                                                   Your loving

                                                                                                                                                                     Daughter,

                                                                                                                                                                         Maya.
