Romance The End of Restless Sleep- By Pinuram

[ddey333]

I kneeled in front of aunt, took her hands in mine and said, “See, I told you, everything

will be alright. Now tell me how did this happen?”

She was fuming. She slapped me hard, “You scoundrel, everything happened due to you
two.”

I was perplexed, “What I did?”

She chewed her words, “What you did? I did not know that my daughter is insane like
this. She was caught in one of your shirt and what else could happen.” I looked at Titli
and shook my head in dismay. Aunt continued, “Her father got furious on seeing her like
that. He asked her as what all was happening. She tried to hide at first, but her father
asked about you as who you are, what do you do and everything. She divulged
everything about you and they had an intense argument. I tried to intervene and pacify
both of them. Titli’s father warned her that he would send her to Delhi to her Aunt’s
home if she contacts you. My insane daughter, instead of being remorseful, walked out
on her dad. He lost control on his anger and slapped her.”

I shook my head in disappointment at Titli. She gave me an apologetic smile with tears
in her eyes. Aunt then patted her on her cheek and said to me, “Do you know what this
girl did? She walked to the balcony and said that she would jump if she were not
allowed to meet you. And that was the cause of his attack.”

I was annoyed on her crazy actions. I asked aunt, “So what now?”

She gave me a pleading look, “I don’t know Budhaditya. I know that you love my
daughter. I know that from the day you stepped in my house.” She looked at Titli and
said to her, “I know what changed you so much. You know your father’s nature as what
he told you.”

Titli was quiet all along our conversation. She said to aunt after a long time, “Mom
please stop now. Do not speak a word more. I know what he is, I know how he is.”

I asked her, “Tell me I want to hear everything.”

She gave me a painful look, “I don’t know what to say to you. My husband is against this
relationship due to several reasons. He is against inter-caste marriage. He knows that
you do not have a proper family. He knows about your dad. That was the main reason
he don’t want his daughter to get married to you.”
