Village love ( love series #1)

Available only in Dreame. It's my first story. You guys read and give your feedback.

The new journey starts in a new place.

It is a day sprint 10'o clock the railroad station. The environment was full of buzz. The vendors were screaming out their throat to sell their stocks. The passengers were busy talking to their members who are waiting for the train which arrives from Bangalore and goes to Shimoga. Still, there were 15 minutes left for the arrival of the train. The middle-aged couple along with the old age couple stood waiting for someone, with unique happiness plastered on their face. They were here to pick up their lovable child, who has moved to the city for better education and returning after a long time. Though she visited often this time it was permanent. The parent’s soul awaits to be with their offspring. Such a wonderful moment of the reunion of the family after a long break is taking place in the railway station.

Mahesh: Where is this train? It’s already late and still, we don’t know when it will arrive. I told her to take the bus but she, never listen to me.

Uma: stop your blabbering, the train will be here at any time now, and don’t forget we are here one hour early to pick our princess don’t blame the train.

Nagaraj: Yes my son, we have been here for more than an hour now. It all happened because of you. If you did pressure us to come here this earlier and all. So now do bear all this. I hate waiting.

Mahesh sighed realizing that they were correct, he pressurized his whole family to be at the station before an hour of her arrival. His princess. Thanks to her he smiled inwardly, she never amuses to make his family proud. A bright and intelligent daughter, who happened to be a miracle and happiness in his life.

Savitha: Be patient our princess will be here soon.

He nodded in yes. His wife was the first best thing that happened in his life. After that his daughter.

There was a loud announcement indicating the arrival of the train within a few minutes. Soon the whole family stood up to look at the direction of the train. Train's slow speed is making Mahesh and the whole family restless. As the train stopped, a young girl who has long hair flowing free in wind on her shoulders came out pulling her luggage out of the train with other passengers getting down. Though there was no much crowd the passengers were eager to get down and in as the train stops only for a few minutes. She pulled all her luggage’s little far. She waited for a few minutes so that the train moves with the passengers, so there is someplace to see her people.

She looked around to search for any member of her family who had come to pick her up. She spotted them she shouted happily 'Mumma'. As soon as hearing the voice, the whole family turned in the direction of her happy voice and their face turned to a beautiful grin. They have been apart for a long time. They all hugged their daughter (Shona) tightly by welcoming her with their warm and lovely embrace. The perfect and happy family was found in the railway station with only a few others.

“I think you bought whole Bangalore in your bag” her grandfather teased her eyeing her bags. Which looked heavy and full.

Gowri(Shona) - no, dada (grandfather). They are my clothes and some essential things. I even bought a gift for you all.

Nagaraj- really. You are very nice. Do you know your father ever bought any gifts for me.

Mahesh- papa please stop your drama. The universe know the truth you don’t need to film it. And leave the luggage there itself I will pick them.

All the ladies laughed seeing the father-son duo. All of them went out taking her heavy luggage with them. They loaded the luggage in the back trunk of the car and all took their seats. All the way home Gowri's mother and grandmother kept on asking about her well-being in Bangalore. She answered them patiently with a smile hiding her tiredness.

On the way to the entrance to their village, both sides of the road were covered with greenery, full of farmland and trees making the weather cooler in summer. Some of the farmers were working and talking to themselves enjoying their work with smiles ignoring the mud and sweats on their bodies. The cool natural breeze was blowing to the speed of the car making Gowri smile widely. She remembered all the moments which she spent in childhood in the village.

Gowri was happy to be back in her hometown. It felt like a million years as been apart from her village and family. She was determined to be back with her family and never leave this village. She had decided to continue staying in her hometown in the future.

Though Gowri doesn’t know where her life leads entering her world after a long time. Though it’s her birthplace everything doesn’t need to be unchanged. People and things tend to change according to the situation. Keeping all the worries aside, she just wants to support her family and be with them in their happiness and sorrow.

Will her happiness last long? Can she be able to live with her family as she desires? What has the future allowed for her? Will she be able to lead a happy life as she planned.

We plan but the creature has already made a pre-determined plan for everyone!

Welcome to her world, my dear readers.

The other day,

The new day with the new start with the new inspiration to achieve something. The new start of the old end. The new courage and desire to develop.

It was as a usual working time where all stroll around to complete their respective work. The village was in hustle-bustle. The pedestrians moving towards their destination. The clean tar a road bustling black due to the fields and buildings on either side. Though it was summer and the sun was shining high the crops in the field gave nice scenery. All were busy with their own work.

The well-built muscular man, with a white shirt which was firmly ironed, was showing his muscles with the jeans pants. A perfect example of a common man. It’s common that village men are strong with a heavy build-up body. He was wearing a helmet though there were no police only to be cautioned. He was riding his bullet bike on the roadside. He was really looking not less than a hero in South Indian movies. No wonder why some of them were eyeing him.

He was moving towards the large textile factory. The factory was owned by his great grandparents. It has been a long time since it was established. Now it was his father's property. The building was a bit old which emphasis the proof. It was a huge grey building where workers were doing their respective work. The entrance of the building was covered with the clothes that had let to dry after adding color to it. There was a little pathway to reach the main door. He parked his bike took out his helmet he had a lite brownish skin tone and deep black eyes almond shape eyes, a sharp nose with thick lips, sharp jawline, and his silk black hair gave him a heavenly look. As he moved forward, everyone on the way greeted him. He did reply back. He was down to earth neither he differentiates between ranks nor with caste. All are treated equally in the village. The village head members had made this decision a long time ago about the discrimination now it was in practice. He moved towards the door. He went to the big cabin though it is not luxurious it feels homely. He sat across the wooden chair. The table was neatly arranged with all the essentials needed for official work. The nameplate has VIJAY SURYAVANSHI. Yes, he is our make protagonist.

Vijay Suryavanshi is the elder son of his parents, Shiv and Sitara suryavanshi. He has grown in a joint family with his uncles and aunts, and their children. Growing in a joint family he was thought about everything. He is the most loved child in childhood as he was the firstborn. He has siblings a younger brother and a sister. His Brother is just a graduate. He is a stack of naughtiness. And his sister is still studying. She is silent but matured. His grandfather was a great man in the village even his father followed his grandfather's steps. In earlier days his great grandfather ruled the place. After all the necessary have been arrangement made by the government, they withdraw from their works and allowed everything to the government. They have known for their humanity and helping nature. His grandpa Yash Suryavanshi was a generous man. He did develop the village along with providing all the necessary required at that time. All the village people respect him the most. After his great grandfather died, his dadu(grandpa) took the responsibility and his father and uncle were helping him now. Even Vijay also help the village people most. He is known for his anger, when anybody tries to do bad things he beat the shit out of them. He turns into a living beast. He believes in helping others and leading a happy life. His motive is to help others and not to ill-treat anybody.

He had done his education in the city. Most of the village people migrate to the town for better higher education. He had accomplished every dream of his. He was looking for a suitable job. But he couldn’t get something which he desired the most. But after a drastic tragedy which caused more damage in his life. For the first time in his life, he felt more shattered. He left everything and flew to foreign. It has been a year he came back to his family. Though everyone knows everything about him nobody dares to console. Everyone knows about his angry after that tragic incident no one will topic about that topic. They rather remain silent than discussing it.

Other than nobody knows where he always travels for a long time for no reason. This is a secret which he keeps away from all. He doesn’t disclose to anyone where he goes. He only informs his departure of his mother and arrival to his brother, who picks him up. Even his family doesn’t ask about it as they trust him. This is happening for the past year. He doesn't want to disclose his secret anytime soon.

The life and the situation made is one tracked journey into an upside-down. The boy who was happy and more mischievous is now completely changed to a secretive and silent man. Life can't be predicted. The life which feels like going on a track which we planned is already planned by someone else. But we forget it.

What is the past that changed Vijay's life? What is the secret? Will, he can move? Will he ever smile like in the past?? Where do hoes e-travel?? Everything will be answered. To know more read my story and suggest it to your friends and followers.

Gowri returned to her sweet home after a long duration. She breathed the smell of her home. This is where she belongs. There was a different type of relief and happiness on reaching her place. After Soo many years she took a small trip around the home to see the changes but to her disappointment, there were not many changes everything was the same as before but only paint and some things had been changed from their place it’s like more than replaced. Thanks to her grandmother and her mother who are a clean freak and can do anything to keep their home clean can even make their husband work. It's been common for them to help the women of their homes.

As it was a long four hours journey by train and wandering around made her exhausted. Getting bored she went to her room which was the same as she left but neat and clean. Nobody enters her room other than for cleaning. Though it was small it was warm. It had a small double bed, wardrobe, dressing table, and a small library with large books. Her room was bright with designer glass bottles hanging on the balcony. She had made some of her decorative items hanging here and there. It was decorated more naturally or manually than the artificial. It was painted in grey and pink color.

She went to the washroom had a nice steam bath and dressed up in casuals. She went down to have her food. All her family members in the living hall.

Gowri: Mumma I am dammed hungry please give me something to eat. So that I can sleep for some time.

Uma: sure Shona, take a seat at the dining table. I will bring your food.

Gowri moved to the dining table, it was a small table with the six chairs. The dining table was in the corner of the kitchen it was connected to the back door. Though their home was small they didn't feel suffocating. Small is beautiful. It felt more suggestive to have someone in the small home rather than a big empty Shell like a mansion.

They had their food with enquiring about each other. Indian parents do investigate a lot.

Filling the missing information to each other they engraved the moment. Her father updated about the orphanage work. They look after the orphanage in the village. It was Gowri’s grandmother Savitha’s wish to open an orphanage to needy people and educate them. It was difficult at starting but now they are somewhat in the trace.

With all chit chat, they completed the void place in their heart. All were smiling happily after so many years. It was a beautiful day as their sunshine is home to stay with them permanently.

Gowri’s parents had a love marriage. Her mother Uma, whose parents were Orthodox were not willing to arrange inter-caste marriage. Her mother’s parents didn’t agree to marry her to the man who didn’t have anything. At that time Mahesh didn’t have any proper education, no job. He was a total bad boy who fell in love with direct women like Uma. But they were in love and confessed to living together in the future. So they ran away and married each other. At first, they had a tough time. They didn’t have any necessities to lead a life. Life felt difficulty in the small suffocating room. Later Mahesh's stood up and understood the meaning of life. He worked hard to give his wife a better life. His parents understood their love for each other and accepted them as he was the only child of them.

Later everything changed through passion and hard work. Uma became a doctor with the support of her husband who shreds his blood to make her dream come true. He took a government exam and got the opportunity to work as a teacher. Initially, all changed and all took a positive way. They never planned to have a baby earlier but it was a surprise when they came to know good news after two years of their marriage.

Mahesh fulfilled all his wife’s carvings without any neglect. His parents looked after her as their daughter. Uma's in-laws respected her more knowing the change in their son’s life and treated her equally to Mahesh. Uma had a terrible time during her delivery she almost died while giving birth to her baby. It was a miracle to Mahesh to get his family back after all the tragedy. The doctor confirmed that Uma cannot be able to bear a child in her womb once again. It was heartbreaking news in that situation Mahesh didn’t show his emotions he controlled his emotions for the sake of his family. He consoled her and diverted her attention to the newborn. They considered Gowri as a God’s gift and promise to protect and keep happy their child rather than suffering which can’t be happening. So like this, she became the heartbeat of her family members. She had wrapped her family members in her tiny figures from the birth only. After Gowri was born everything changed they shifted to the village for a better normal life. They work hard for this beautiful life. Now they are well known in the village. Gowri is a God-blessed child who understood her parent's suffering and helped them. She uses to work at a young age by taking tuition and stitching clothes. She was earning for her parents. She never troubled her parents. She was silent and obedient kind. She was satisfied with what is got. She strongly believed in God. She always would tell “what is written in our fate will always reach us even if we don’t want.”

Later they were able to build the hospital and schools for illiterate and poor people. They donate more. They got to know people. People appeared for help. They were appreciated. They had a small yet beautiful life.

The journey will not be the same, according to the situation everything changes. Then amity rules.

Gowri POV.

I came back to my village after soo many days. I have finally decided to stay here only. So only I took a transfer from my job. I work as a teacher for college students now as I completed Ph.D. Earlier I was teaching to school students.

My work will start after four days. I still have time to look at my surroundings in my village. I just want to cherish my childhood memory. I want to roam around and make the surroundings familiar.

After getting rest it was already evening I slept too long because of tiredness on the train.

After fresh up. I went down everyone is happy especially my grandparents. I sat with them and chatted. I told everything from my college life to my work. They were happy as I was adjusted to the village so soon. My mum gave me milk to drink. First I made faces later one angry look from her I drank all. Uff yack it smells yuck.

Their was no one in city to look after me. No one to ask about my activities. But now I have a family . Everyone keep a tab upon me. I am loving this after all I missed these things a lot.

I said to papa I want to see the village, so I and my papa went on scooty which I was driving earlier whenever I come here. I love driving that too on scooty. It was a plus point for me as no one are going to accompany us. It was a bumper offer to fulfill my wish and do whatever I need. Afterall my father never denies me. I am a Papa's Princess.

First, we went to the market it's my selection. All were giving me a curious look some were smiling and greeting papa. Some were asking about me, my well being, health, etc. I patiently answered to everything. This is the difference between the city and village. People in city don't care about anyone. But in village once they start talking it never stops, untill someone drags other out.

I saw a chat shop and dragged my papa there and had two plates of golgappa, my favorite. I had an ice cream Choco flavor. I also bought some instant ingredients for my carvings.

I was very tired of all running and talking. I was sleepy so papa agreed to drive scooty I sat back and held him tightly put my head on his shoulder and slept. When we were returning back to home we met a black jeep came in our way. Suddenly the driver rolls down the window. A man is the early '50s was there with another man in the '30s but he was handsome.

The man in the 50's started to talk with papa happily as they were childhood friends. I slowly closed my eyes not before a black eyes saw my eyes.

I don't know when I reached home but soon I felt a soft bed behind my back and a warm blanket with a kiss on my forehead.

Last I heard was my papa saying "good night Shona ".

I woke up before sunrise as I slept early. I did my morning business and went to find my mum. She was praying in Pooja room so I stood next to her and prayed. This is a ritual which we follow. The women of the house need to do pooja two times a day.

Gowri: Mumma shall I prepared coffee for everyone.

Mumma: yes prepare coffee I will arrange for breakfast.

Gowri: Mumma shall I go to fields today.

Mumma: it's rainy season Shona you will only get dirt, moreover there is no one to take you as I & your papa have work to attend.

Gowri: Mumma, please. I came after Soo many days please Mumma can I go please I will promise I don't get dirty.

I kept nagging her finally she agreed.

Mumma: ok you can go, but whom are you taking with you.

Gawri: I will take grands ( grandparents) with me. Even it will be morning walk for them.

As I did coffee and served everyone. I helped Mumma in making parathas and gravy. After having breakfast Mumma and papa went to work. My Papa is a teacher and mumma is a doctor.

I and grands locked the door and started walking to our field it's a few minutes longer walk, but it's ok. Grands kept on talking about the fieldwork and crops. It was pleasant to walk in the morning on farm land with the cool breeze hitting our face and sun partially above our head.

When we reached the field it was beautiful they had planted vegetables, fruits, seeds, and Flowers but in small quantity. I loved it. Grands were busy in fieldwork. The water was running I got a naughty idea and splashed water on my grandpa.

Like that we started to have fun even grandma joined us they both got on the team against me why not after all they are husband and wife.

I was running looking behind so that I will be able to escape from them. I didn't notice I had already reached the road without knowing from where a bullet bike came with speed. I was scared and closed my face with my hand...........

Gowri POV.

I closed my eyes tightly with my hands I was waiting to feel pain on my body but nothing came. After some time I heard my grandpa called me with concern. I moved my hands from my face only to notice that the bullet bike stood a few inches away from. I breathed in relief. Then only I saw the bicker the same man who I saw yesterday before closing my eyes.

He was wearing a dhoti and shirt. He looks more handsome at this age. I have not seen a man like him in Bangalore also. He had brown skin not fair. His eyes held a dangerous and painful.

We both kept looking at each other he didn't say anything till now. He turned his head away from me. Then only I remember I had not covered my dupatta as it fell somewhere while running. He is now feeling discomfort to look at me but a few minutes back he was drooling over me.

Gowri- I am sorry sir.

I said and ran to the field, to my grandparents. Grandma was having my dupatta I wore it. I didn't look back I was feeling disgusting of that guy how can he act innocent after doing all. Idiot fellow.

We went back in the late afternoon as I was hungry and tired due to working in fields. I learned a few things from my grandparents.

After having lunch prepared by me it's rice with rasam along with potato Curry. Grandparents praised my cooking. We all took a nap.

In the evening I went to the market with Grandma to bring some groceries. We thought it's better to walk in the evening. So on the way, grandma introduced me to her friends.

I purchased all the necessary items I needed. Grandma took all the items for the home.

I was enjoying my holidays like this. Don't know how the time fled away. Tomorrow is the first day of my work. I am going to attend my dream job. It was a prepared night only I choose the saree to wear and all accessories.

In the morning I woke up early and did some meditation. Prepared for my day. As usual, I prepared coffee for everyone. All three lady's helped in breakfast as everyone had there work.

Papa said to me to take scooty as buses are not on time. I can't wait. It's a horrible thing which I hate the most. So I agreed with understanding the village public facility well.

I took out the scooty and rode to the destination as my papa and showed me earlier. I went to college all were giving me a curious look.

I directly went to the principal cabin and gave my appointment letter. He said I should get signed from the head sarpanch of the village.

Gowri- but sir it's related to the government why should I take signed by sarpanch.

Principal- it's because he is the head of the village. Even he had my appointment with the government after voting. So you should confirm with him.

I got totally irritated about this topic I was not knowing. If I had known first only I had done it on my holiday. I asked from the passers-by the way to sarpanch home.

I drove fast it's already 10 now I hope he is at home.

After reaching there and confirm with a villager.

Gowri- Anna (bro) is this village head sarpanch's house.

Villager- yes child.

I went into the gate there was a big open field I drove the scooty at the large garden. All the vehicles were parked in the corner so I also did the same.

I went and left my footwear in the row and ranged the bell though the door was wide open. A lady in the late 45's came out and gave a look.

Gowri- Namaste amma is this the village head sarpanch's house.

Lady- yes ma.

Gowri- can I meet the sarpanch I have work with him.

Lady- first you come inside ma. Then you tell me about your work.

I lady guided me away I quietly followed her like a lost puppy.

Lady- take seat ma.

I sat down on a lavish sofa in a big living room with astonishing furniture. I was looking at my surroundings and forgot about the lady.

Lady- what shall I bring you to have.

Gowri- maji I don't want anything can you please call the sarpanch I need signed in my appointment letter and go back to work.

Lady- I think you are really in a hurry wait I will call baba (father).

I was looking around the house. I think they are rich why not, after all, they are the head of the village.

I heard the footsteps only to notice that three men are coming, but two were familiar. The front one was in the late 60's I think he is sarpanch.

He came and sat on the big sofa with authority his aura told strength and authority radiating. I stood from my seat to give respect. He just nodded at me I really felt scared I should have called papa or Grandpa.

Sarpanch- what's the matter??

Gowri- I need your signature in this appointment letter, sir.

With a stammer and shacking hand, I gave him a letter. No one talked only stood and watching us like some interesting movie is going on.

The sarpanch motioned me to seat and asked to have something.

Lady- I enquired her but she refused.

Sarpanch- do have something. Our culture doesn't let outsiders go without having anything.

Gowri- can I get a glass of water.

Lady- ok.

Soon the lady came back and gave me water I took it with trembling hands and drank with one go.

Sarpanch- so you're the new college teacher.

Gowri- yes sir.

Sarpanch- what's your parent's name?

Gowri- Uma and Mahesh.

All were shocked on there face as I said some secret way for Kohinoor diamond.

Lady- what's your full name ma?

Gowri- maji I am Gowri Mahesh, daughter of Uma and Mahesh. Granddaughter of Savitha and Nagaraj.

I gave my full bio-data to her.

Sarpanch- so your our Mahesh's daughter.

Gowri- yes I am and Gowri's papa is Mahesh.

I like my own identity. I don't want to use my parent’s or grandparents name to be known by others. So only I said like that. Suddenly the lady screamed in happiness.

Lady- sita, and Laxmi come here to see who is here

Omg, what she is doing? What happened to her all of a sudden?

In this chapter the other two main characters are.

Lakshmi and Sita are the aunts of Vijay
