Father's Choice:

This eBook is based on a real story of a person whose daughter was introduced to me in a party.
As the story was told to me by a known person, I have changed the names of the characters to protect their privacy. Further, since the story is based on hearsay only, I cannot certify the veracity of the truth in it. Therefore, if any of the characters or situations of the book resembles with someone known to you, it may be mere coincidence only. Therefore, kindly treat this story as a fictitious one only.
Though the book is based on facts, it is heavily spiced up to provide you some fodder to have a relook at the social ethos and personal relations.
I am yet to know ‘what is love’ and therefore I have never tried to define ‘what is love’ in any of my books. But I want to share my experience with my readers that I have come across in my journey of love three basic different types of love when there is emotional bonding exists or starts an emotional bonding between two adults having no other social relations till then.
The first one is free from any sexual desire where sacrifice is the only key word either for both the parties or for one of the parties involved in the emotional bonding. The second one is an expression of love by surrendering both body and soul to each other by both the parties involved. The third one is surrendering his / her body and soul to a person knowing fully well that the other person is only interested in her/ his body only.
Most of the famous love stories are based on the first category of emotional bonding. However, I prefer to write about the second and third types of bonding, though I have personally experienced all the three types of emotional bonding in my life.
This book is based on true love between the two protagonists, Aroon Barua and Amrita whose emotional bonding is revolved around surrendering of everything to each other.
He wanted to marry the young girl. He wanted to propose her on his very first meeting itself; but he had lot of hesitation in his mind. She was only 25 and he was a widower at 54 at that time. He had a brilliant working son of 28. His first doubt was, whether she would accept his proposal and even if she would accept his proposal, what society will think about him? What will be the opinions of his son and other relatives?
Luckily his proposal was accepted by his lady love, as she also fell in love with him on her very first meeting with him at the district circuit house of her own city.
His son was overjoyed to hear that his father is going to marry again after eleven years of his mother’s demise. The father of the young lady was definitely not happy to have a son in law of his equal age. Her stepmother was extremely happy; readers may be interested to know why she accepted the proposal so gleefully.
Though the central theme of the book is true love of a young girl towards a man, double of her age, the book has some kid stories, ghost stories and travelogues dovetailed with the main stories to attract young readers and the readers who love ghost stories. Human relations, selfishness etc. are also depicted in the book. All these stories are tried to be merged seamlessly as a part of the main story.
Another aspect of human psychology has also been embedded into the book. All the aspects of life like, human relation, love, age are controlled by our minds or hearts (in literary world) and by brains (in scientific world).
