Bloody Love

In the village of Balamapur, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, there stood a medium-sized house that was neither too big nor too small. Outside the house, the name "Tapaswi Mishra" was written. The house had a total of 5 members, including 4 ladies and 1 gentleman.

The household was ruled by Dadi, or Grandmother, Padmavati Mishra, who made all the decisions. There were two girls in the house, Palak and Nandini, who were very afraid of their grandmother because she was very strict with them. Dadi did not allow her granddaughters to go outside without a reason and limited their use of mobile phones.

Dadi would scold her granddaughters all day, pointing out their mistakes and shortcomings. As a result, the girls became timid and fearful. Even Garima ji did not like Dadi's behavior.

Meanwhile, in the village of Balamapur, a large crowd had gathered at the chauraha (crossroads). It was clear that the crowd was angry about something. A news reporter appeared among the crowd and began asking questions.

"What's going on here?" the reporter asked.

The crowd was too angry to respond, but a few calm individuals stepped forward. One man introduced himself and explained the situation.

The reporter asked him, "Brother, what's happening here? Why is there such a large crowd?"

"My name is Mohan, and we are all residents of Balmapur. We all have the same business - setting up shops behind the temple, several kilometers away. This is how we make a living. But a builder has been asking us to vacate this land for a year now, as he wants to build a hotel here. But we are not agreeing. Now, he has crossed all limits. Even the government is not saying anything, they are also asking us to vacate this land."

Mohan was still speaking when a man came and pushed him aside, and started speaking himself, "My name is Tapaswi Mishra. If you want to spread this news all over the world, then please do so. Because even if we die, we will not vacate this place. This land belongs to our ancestors, and we are their descendants. We will never give up our land, even if we have to die for it. Now, we will all go on strike, block the roads, and do everything possible."

"The news spread like wildfire, and soon it was all over the news channels and the entire city. The atmosphere was tense, and it was clear that no one was going to back down. The people were determined not to vacate the land, no matter what.

As the news spread, Garima ji saw it and immediately informed her mother-in-law, Padmavati. She was shocked and started worrying. "Garima, if you had given birth to a son, we wouldn't be facing this situation today. My fate is doomed, and I will die because of this. You have given birth to daughters, and they are already showing their attitude."

Garima ji's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to her mother-in-law's words. She quietly went to the kitchen and started crying. This was not the first time; the family was always at odds with each other. Garima ji had grown accustomed to listening to her mother-in-law's complaints, and so had her two daughters. However, sometimes Garima ji took it too hard and cried alone.

As the afternoon approached, the two daughters, Palak and Nandini, returned home from college. They could sense the tension in the air and knew that something was amiss. They quietly went to their room, and soon Tapaswi ji returned home. His mother asked him, "What happened, son? Are they asking us to vacate the land again?"

"The man's words were cut off by the man sitting on the throne-like chair, who had been twirling his mustache for a while. He stopped and spoke without looking at Balram, "No, Balram. Often, people lose their senses in anger. We must not do that. We will get the land, but we need to wait a little longer, just like we have been doing for the past two years."

Balram, who was standing in front of him, spoke up, "But brother, if the ghee doesn't come out with a straight finger, you need to bend your finger."

The man smiled and replied, "But Balram, who said to bend your finger? Bending your finger will hurt, and we want to enjoy the ghee with all five fingers, straight and simple."

The two men laughed loudly, and the people present in the room stood with their heads bowed, indicating that they were willing to go to any lengths to get what they wanted."
