under peepal tree....

It was a sunny hot afternoon,I was walking back to my village from the bus stand as i haven't got any taxi or rickshaw.My village was around 7 km from bus stand and i decided to walk as it was the only option...!!My feet were saying me just stop otherwise i will make you fall down..!! SUN was my enemy today, he was following me and making me more tired..!!My shirt's colour has changed from light red to dark red due to sweat...!!

I was abusing myself that why did i choose this place for summer vacation, although after reaching my village i was going to enjoy the most..but these 7 km were really bad for me..

I had covered around 3 kms,then i decided that I am going to sit under some tree for some time and rest for sometime..

I could see a huge peepal tree near a mango garden at a distance and a boy sitting there..

Initially i thought it is mirage but when i reached there i found a boy sitting under that tree,he was a 17 year old boy of our neighbourhood BABBUA son of our postman, he touched my feet and said how are u?

I said I m ok !! but what are you doing here..he said i am just waiting for someone....!!

then he said me let me drop you to village....i said "ok..!! but i will ride the cycle"

after rest of half hour, I started cycling, the boy was sitting on the front rod of the cycle..

i talked him on various issues,and to create more interest

I asked him" so do u have a girl-friend??"

he said no!!

I tried to get the secret out and finally he burst out and said yes I had one..but village people seen us together in that mango garden and then her brother beat me brutally...

I was waiting there for her only,because she would be coming back from her school..

then he started telling me the whole story and his love story was really painful..

he use to love that girl since childhood, but the narrow minded village people beat him brutally and had thrown him in the fields,,,,and warned him to stay away from the village,so he live in the other village nearby..

i was really very shocked to hear it...

i said "oh thats really wrong..!!" love is not a bad thing....

i talked him on this issue and suggested him to forget that girl and study...

he said "now study is of my no use..!!"

finally we reached at the last turn of my village and boy told me to stop,as he cannot go inside the village..i said ok..!!

don't worry if you need any help just meet me !!"

he said" no one can help me now!!! , I will get her in my own way"

and went back ......

I reached my village , my grandparents were very happy to see me...!! I chatted everyone and enjoyed the the food.

In the evening my cousin brother took me for evening walk,I reached at that turn where that boy left me..!! my cousion told me"do u remember that BABBUA yaadav,son of postman??"

Three days ago ,village people beated him so hard that he died....and then they buried him in that mango garden, near a peepal tree...

I was shocked after hearing it all..my mouth was open wide,I had tear and fear in my eyes...

all the blood in my body was trying to get out of my body

now i could see that boy all around me...

i can see him crying...!!

i can hear his voice saying"they beat me brutally..!!"

it was unbelievable for me...

Next evening i heard that girl for whom BABBUA was beaten also died near peepal tree due to heart attack....!!

After 10 years I m again on the same road, but this time i am on a taxi.

when i reached that peepal tree i could see a boy and girl playing together, but this time all this was mirage ,but i can still feel both of them playing......

they still live under that peepal tree and now no one can stop them loving......
