The Unlikely Love Story of Madhab : A Tale of True Love। ( based on a true story)
By Lokanath Mishra
Madhab, a young and ambitious lawyer, had always been driven to succeed. After completing his law degree, he joined his father’s law chamber, where his younger brother and sister also practiced. However, Madhab soon realized that he couldn’t work under his father’s shadow. He appeared for a competitive examination and joined the secretariat as an assistant.
It was during this time that Madhab met a married woman with two daughters, who was his superior officer and ten years older than him. Despite their differences, they fell deeply in love. However, their love was met with fierce opposition from everyone, including Madhab’s father, who threw him out of the house.
The lady, who had fallen deeply in love with Madhab, decided to leave her husband and two children to be with him. They stayed in a separate house, but their love was short-lived. Her husband, in a fit of rage, hired goons to beat Madhab, leaving him injured and hospitalized. The lady was forcibly taken away by her husband, ending their love story.
Heartbroken and disillusioned, Madhab left his job and started practicing law in a small town. He remained unmarried, focusing on his career, and eventually became a renowned and wealthy lawyer. Despite his comfortable life, Madhab struggled with loneliness.
Years later, Madhab attended a reception party for his old friend’s daughter’s wedding, where he met a charming woman named Sheila, his friend’s sister-in-law. Sheila was a wise, vibrant, and caring lady who took care of her family, despite being a young widow with a child.
Madhab felt an instant connection and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. As they spent more time together, Madhab and Sheila developed a deep bond. Madhab confessed his feelings to Sheila, aware of the complexities of their social and familial relationships.
Sheila initially hesitated, considering their age difference and familial connection, as well as her status as a widow with a child. However, she soon recognized Madhab’s genuine emotions and kind heart.
Despite the challenges, Madhab and Sheila stood by each other and pursued their relationship. Madhab was at that time 63 years old and Sheila was 26 years old. Madhab assured her to keep her child with them. Sheila decided to spend the rest of her life with Madhab along with her child, believing that true love knows no boundaries of age or relationships.
Madhab’s two love stories teach us that true love can conquer all obstacles. When two hearts are genuine, they gain the strength to face any challenge, proving that love is free from the constraints of age, situation, or relationships.
Madhab’s story is a testament to the power of true love, which can overcome even the most daunting challenges. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries and that two people who are meant to be together will find a way to make their love work, no matter what obstacles come their way.
