A story about a Girl

In this post I am going to speak of a girl. A real life experience shared by Rev. Fr. Job, director of Chittoor Retreat Center.

There was this girl, lets say her name was Seema (fake name) for now. She was born and brought up in Palghat (Palakkad). She was the only child of her parents and they loved her very much. In this love, they never refused her anything she wanted. Now she completed her degree and wanted to go for MBA. She found a college for herself in Coimbatore and sought out a hostel with good facilities all by herself. Parents didn't interfere with her decisions. Classes started and Seema moved to the hostel in Comibatore. Parents couldn't stop thinking about her when she was away and both the father and mother used to call her atleast twice a day. One monday, the father was about to leave for work as usual. Before that he thought he would call his dearest daughter. When he called, the warden answered. She said that the daughter had left hostel and gone home yesterday evening. If so, she should have been at home yesterday evening itself (Coimbatore-Palghat journey takes just an hour) and she wasn't. After calling and enquiring some of her friends it was confirmed that she was missing. The parents naturally got worried. After two or three days, they filed missing person case with the police. A week passed and still there was no news of the girl. Thats when some friend of her father told him to search through the retreat centers in Kerala. At that time there were about 64 retreat centers in Kerala and they started calling each one. Atlast they found Seema at Chittoor. Hearing she was there, the parents rushed there. When the parents reached Chittoor, retreat classes were going on and Seema was called out to meet them. The parents were so sad and at the same time happy to find their daughter. Father asked her - " Daughter, why did you do this to us ???" For this her reply was - "Father, wait a second" and she went straight back inside and came back holding a guys hand and she said - "Father, this is my husband". The parents were really shocked and exclaimed - "We took all the pain to raise you till this age and you do this to us !!!". Now the girls reply is to be noted by everyone. She said - "Raising me was your duty, but this is my right" and went straight inside. The parents, left with no other option, had to return home with broken hearts. The story doesn't end there. On the way back, at a traffic signal, the poor father suffered from a heart attack and died, holding on to the steering wheel. The police there informed Chittoor retreat center about the incident. The director went and told Seema what happened. Her reply again was shocking and is to be noted. It was - "Father, that chapter is closed. It has got nothing to do with me" and she didn't even go to the poor father's funeral.

You readers are all free to find out morals of this real life incident and comment on it. But, girls please don't do this to your parents and guys beware of such girls, as they will bring you no good. - Posted by Kattooran.
