I am a 21-year-old chartered accountancy student.I was in a relationship with my boyfriend who is my two years older senior. I was having a four months relationship. Before that, we were best friends for months. We both share the same religion, caste and somehow equal financial background. We had great chemistry during those four months relationship. We were open to each other to our best. We both even shared our possessiveness with each other and we were pretty much okay too with that. We even used to talk about the little things that we don’t like about each other. We held our relationships mostly showing both our good sides as well as the bad ones too. But still that doesn’t mean in this short while we got to know everything about each other, but yet I totally believe we share great sync with each other.

One day my parents found out about our relationship. I was hiding it from them. They were really disappointed. I belong to a very orthodox family were we strictly followed the custom of arranged marriage. In our family relationships and love marriages are a meant to be sinful. I tried my best to convince them but nothing worked. Even my boyfriend tried calling them through a phone call to introduce him and convince them. But nothing worked.

I am the only one child for my parents and their greatest fear is that my boyfriend came into a relationship looking for any benefit. Probably for money and so on. But I clearly don’t think that because he liked me before knowing my financial status and things like that. In fact, he liked me when he first saw me in one of the college fests. He liked the way I looked, the way I talked and behaved to others. He actually proposed before we even started to become friendly. Before getting into a relationship I tried my best to know about him through our college mates. Everyone had great opinions about him and he was pretty famous and known to be a decent fellow in the college.

Now that we broke up with a mutual understanding. We both met each other one day and I talked about my family pressures to stop our relationship. Painfully we both did that. But after having a nice conversation we made a conclusion that when both of us are settled with our studies and careers, he would talk to my parents along with his family for a marriage proposal.

I seriously don’t know how this will work out because I don’t know how I will convince my parents at that time. I clearly don’t know how exactly I can handle this wisely.

Right now we don’t have much contact. At times we call or text each other because we both suffered really badly after the breakup. We both went into depression for a month. We used to just call or text each other just for a push. Luckily that worked really well for both of us.

Right now we still have a friendly relationship but yet we make a safe distance with each other.
