“As you can see, I drive for a living. I come from an affluent family but I had to forego everything for the sake of love. So the story goes like this – I met her for the first time as a neighbour. We started speaking out of the ordinary and slowly it developed into a meaningful relationship and we went ahead with a register marriage. But it remained a secret for three years before we finally broke it to our parents. Since our parents were completely against this idea, we decided to move away from the house but it came with a heavy price. I had to let go of everything and start my life from scratch. So I started driving and it has now become my life. My family eventually came around and we have been speaking on and off for the past one year but the anger is still there inside of them. Looking back, you realise that you choose your battles wisely and having made a choice, you deal with the consequences yourself. I take it one day at a time these days and life’s going well. Hopefully we go back to being a big happy family very soon.”
