Phani, The Beginning of the New Era

Phani was expelled from the college; It did not affect him. They were immersed in each other's love. Despite many attempts by the principal, Nothing had changed. There is a tell; None so blind as those who will not see.

Faults are thick when love is thin. The Principal, who approached him to take admission to his college and was doing promotions on his name; Kicked him out from the college only because he is in love with his daughter. He did not want to give his daughter in a scheduled cast poor family. They were desperate for each other like a love bird; How could he stop them.

The principal gave her hand to a traffic inspector. Fate rules everybody. How could he escape from this?

Phani was invited to her marriage too. You can say, Cut off one's nose to spite one's face. Phani attended her marriage too. Just to teach them a lesson; At a very young age, the Principal gave her marriage instead of sending her to college.

She was no less than a princess. The red gown was perfectly suited to her at the wedding ceremony. Phani could not accept that she is the girl with whom he was in love with before a week ago. There was no sadness on her face.

Girls are like molten metals; they take the shape of the pot in which they poured. There is a question, If he knew; It was his girl friend's wedding ceremony, then why did he go there.

He went there to ensure if she is happy or not. He had planned to abscond with her. He wanted to run away from their sights and live a life where no one would be there except them. No would disturb them.

He was broken all around. There was no hope to live. Neither he could laugh nor cry. Somehow he managed to leave and reached his cottage. He wept all day. His mother accompanies him to relieve him in his bad times.

Though a Mother's presence could relieve his pains, It was not enough to get rid over his emotions. He could not stop his memories from flashing again and again.

There was a girl "Teja" in his village, who loved him more than yesterday. Though She used to help his mother, She was unable to grab his attention.

She studied upto class 7 only, but she was able to find out solutions for his broken heart.

Phani used to draw and enjoy beautiful paintings in his childhood. He could make an accurate copy both in paper art and clay art. It was his those habits which he had sacrificed after he had to take all family burden onto his shoulder.

By her suggestion, Phani took an interest in painting; But he wasn't sure he could! It was Teja who motivated him throughout.

Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them

No one can help you out until you ready for it

After a long hiatus, Phani began carving. He was not a professional. It was just God-given talent.

At beginning, He could not understand what to create. His mind was complete blank.

You can't forget your past, You have to accept it and live with it

Only in 3 month, He learned to live with Swarna's memory. It was only possible because a mentor like Teja was with him in his bad time.

Phani started digging, carving and shaping many idols and paints, but he could not enjoy, how he used to have in his childhood.

At certain moments, He was not aware of what he was doing and why. Like fate rules everybody; At such a critical juncture of his life, Teja got married. She was the only support who could stabilize his mental condition and boost him to get to normal soon.

The main reason for Teja's early marriage was; People used to gossip in the street, which did not sound well. On the other hand, They both were in their adolescent period. There was no stable income in Phani's family.

Teja's husband was much older than her. He was a well-known businessman in the city. His first wife has died. He had one son and one daughter of 13 years old and 11 years old. Teja was only 18 years old at that time.

Teja had tried his best to get a place in Phani's heart but he never felt that. After her marriage, when she left him, Phani realized the importance of her presence in his life. Phani realized that he had fallen in love with her but it was already too late.

There is a tell; An addiction can be replaced by an addiction. The same happened here. It was the time while Phani was desperately looking for Teja to back into his life again. Phani was getting weaker, He was disturbed. His mental condition was getting worse day by day.

Somehow Teja got the detail. She came to him, leaving behind her and her family's honor and reputation. Teja's husband was not a person to be silent and let it go.

Teja was aware of her husband's nature. She did not want to put their lives in danger. She coaxed Phani's mother and grant the permission to leave that place as soon as they could.

While leaving her husband's resident, Teja had brought some money and jewelry with her. They took a flight and traveled to Indonesia that night. Phani was good at geography. They landed at Jakarta, Indonesia.

From Jakarta airport, they headed towards the Borobudur Temple, which is the world's biggest Buddhist sanctuary. Luckily, They got help from an old couple there and stayed there for some days.

It was the time, while they used to show their paints at different places.

One day, they come across a French artist while showing their paints on the roadside. He liked the portrait so much. It was the paint of Teja which was drawn and labeled in such a way that Teja was looking caring and blissful.

From different angles, it was looking different, like an angel.

That French Artist bought that portrait and praised them for his skills. He took the autograph and address details from them.

After 7days, The Artist came to them and offered him to work on a project with him. He just agreed and joined that project. He trained him. It was a 2-year project.
