I still believed she woukd come back some day. Even the Vasai Parish Priest assured me, "She will know what she has done and come back to you".
Once she met me on the way and I asked about my son Glenn and how he was. She said, "he is not your son" I didn't know whether this was a riddle or she was telling the TRUTH.
The Vasai Priest was calling her every now and then. Once, she came with her cousin-sisters and warned the Priest not to call her. Their actual words were “Do not harass us!!!".
After Few days; when I called her Office, her colleague said she wanted to talk. Our argument reached nowhere. Then I asked the Priest to make her understand and Priest asked her to come to his Ashram to talk. She came on Saturday after office hours and Priest cancelled all his other work and sat with us and explained what marriage is all about. She listened carefully, but she was stubborn. She said if I write my Father's apartment in her name she will come back. But that day I have come with her to her other sister's home in Borivili and took her back. But when she came she brought only one dress! That was sign that she would not stay long. Next day she got up and went to work but did not return to my home. I knew it that she would do like this. That was third time I tried to bring her back.
On other side, 498A court dates were going on but she didn't come for single date and I was visiting Thahasildhar every month as Police Inspector directed me. On 2nd October court date, she came after judge ordered her to be present, but she demanded, she will compromise if I come to her native place home and take her back. So, the Judge told me to go there and bring her back and settle this case.
On 10th October along with My Dad and our Other Church Priest we went to meet her parents. Here also as soon as they saw me, her Father was angry and wanted to beat me with the help of his son–in-law, her sister's husband. We returned back without any word. The Church Priest gave us a letter, what had happened and said the meeting was a failure because of her Father and I showed that letter to the Judge.
On 12th she called me to my Office phone from her Native place, “Why did you desert us????"
I said in a calm voice, "Listen, I came to your house so many time and your Father wanted to hit me, beat me. Next time if you want to come, come yourself. I’ll not bring you or ask you again."
I think after few days there was no contact from her, then once she called the Vasai Priest and talked to him. So the Priest called her, as I told him I’m leaving my job and going abroad. That night she asked only one thing, "Are you going abroad or not?" I said no. Then she said Priest lied to her that I’m going aboard. Now I knew why she came back.
Next morning, I got up early. I went down and brought milk and bread and prepared Sandwich, which My son Benn likes very much, as both were sleeping. When they got up, she dressed up and got ready to go. I knew it, she would leave, because she was thinking I’m going abroad and she can stay here. But I denied saying I’ll not go abroad. Benn wanted to have Sandwich and said mumma, mum mum, he was calling eatables as mum mum, but she pulled him and left. I was sitting on the sofa, shocked, even when Glenn was asking for sandwich and she didn't allow him to eat. She stood on door step and said, "I’m Going!"
I said.. "If you Cross this door-step today, this door will never open for you again!"
Again she said, "I’m going". She pulled Glenn and left on her own Free choice and Free will.
