Solitary Love- Part 17

He was spurned by what he said. He pushed the food away. How dare he speaks bad about his love? He is just an outsider. He has no right to make comments on Srinivasan life. The following days passed and he still couldn't forgive that stranger.

Days passed by and the memories of that incident faded in his mind. During the night of the full moon, a young man arrived. He was the same age as Srinivasan was except the fine lines across his forehead which made him look older than he was.

He saw the same stranger accompany him. He wasn't happy. At once he understood that these two men were here to change his mind. But he had already made his mind. He was never going to join them. He had no desire to live.

The young man apologized with folded hands and signaled his messenger to speak.The messenger started, " Let me introduce you to Azad."  Srinivasan recognised the great leader at once. He had heard about the great stories of his revolutionary strategies against the British. He had been gathering the young men from all over the country.He was surprised to see Azad. Azad was too young to fight against the British

"Join us and we will help you to win your love.",the messenger spoke. Srinivasan hadn't heard the rest part he spoke before he said this sentence It shook him from all sides. He was aghast. What was this guy telling? He was the one who pointed fingers at his love and now he was ready to help him. 

" What? Why do you need me? I have not fought a single war against the English. As per your terms, I have committed sin by loving one of them.", Srinivasan asked. " I am sorry for drawing a tainted picture of your love. We have seen you rise against these Englishmen for your love. We need people like you to  help us fight our cause. We promise that we will help you to get back your lost love. Our leader is known to keep up our promises."  Srinivasan agreed only because Azad promised to help him to get his love back.
