A distressing love story

One of my classmates, N, says lots of 'kadi' jokes and fools around.

All this in the midst of troubles and extreme trauma. Yet, he doesn't show it out one bit. He has a distressing love tale to tell; a tale that moves you.

In his college years at Calicut, he fell in love with his junior, V. She loved him back, and this went on for a year. Then, after he finished his college life, he used to hang around for almost six months, vetti, near her college and near her house.

It was at this juncture that he joined our institute.

And now, the girl's cruel dad(who is like the villain in Tamil movies) has arranged for the girl's engagement. Our hero N tried his best to stop the whole issue by calling the guy X who was coming to see V, and told him the whole story. X promised to help N. But now, the thing has gone off hands as X's parents and V's parents force them to marry. And, V is helplesss in this - she can't even call my friend N!

V's engagement is to be held at her house in Calicut this Saturday, two days from now. She's been given permission to invite my friend N ONLY if she agrees to marry X. Talk about cruelty.

Just think: What can V do? Nothing. Caught in a cruel-dad-forcing-her scenario, she's helpless. All she can do at the moment is one thing: pray.

What can my classmate N do? Nothing. He says that he'll go for the engagement this Saturday but is afraid that he'll cry if he sees his girl getting engaged to some X guy.

Nothing. N and V can do nothing now. They're helpless, just like thousands of wannabe-couples throughout the world are.
