Struggles of " The MEN " : 
Even though he is very good at work and with friends, he has some worse experience in the past which lead him to become very weak gradually . In fact he is now met with " Hypersexual disorder " 

Yes , he went through with child abuse when he was at 5 years old and he started following those sexual desires without knowing the dreads in it but ironically he has a strong belief that he should fall for a girl as he likes and wants to take care of her till the lifetime as he believes in it .

Broken Heart : 
He already had 3 love break ups but the 1st one was very mad , he was ready to lose his life once she left him but somehow his second love came into the right time and showed love but this doesn't gloom via sympathy , he rather felt that the second one is the girl he was expecting from the 1st girl . It went in and went away in some time and the third one was not much deeper but it had a cute little time..

After all these incidents , he decided not to love anyone as he wasn't capable of succeeding and slowly lost interest in marriage... He developed inferiority complex while the 1st one left him and it became very strong in his mind that he won't be loved by anyone further as he likes .

Empty Pockets: 
He worked very hard in between these two years and earned a reputation in his organisation. Meanwhile he doesn't love anyone but crossed few girls and continues to take care of them whom he likes but some of them not engaged with him.  At home , Parents are forcing him to get married as he was getting aged a little but he wasn't interested until he found his right match and also he became over debt as he was very poor at maintaining his finance ... He is a foodie , travel freak and more importantly helping in nature . 

He has one source of closing his debts and that is his " Onsite opportunity " . He was almost assured but at the last time his management betrayed him in the current year and he lost his only available source to make his financial stable ... He tried to switch jobs but it wasn't successful in the  interviews because Resumes are became more fancier rather than looking at the content of a person .

The hibiscus in his life
One day he received a call from a girl to ask about the shuttle details to reach the office as the driver gave his number to the girl ... He explained everything in the call but he didn't go that day in the shuttle . He went on the third day , Meanwhile both of them went through the intro phase with the help of a phone . On the third day , he went and searched on the shuttle point. He assumed that the girl standing nearby him should be that girl , she wore an orange dress and had little bit of lipstick sticked to her teeth . He pinged her on the phone whether " are you wearing an orange dress" and " Yes " is the reply . He then showed hi fi and so that both of them started speaking in person . Both of them got into the bus , he sat on his usual seat but she went a little back and sat . 

The days went the same for a few weeks . The girl is interested in reading so she asked to explain the short story written by him as we all know that his goal is to become a film maker so he wrote a few short stories already and got them published in anthology books . Both of them sat next to each other in the shuttle from the next day and they became one step closer. He likes her but he doesn't want to fall for her as he is not interested in marriage anymore and doesn't know what she thinks of him as well . 

He started to notice by sitting next to her , she often used to comb her hair by hands , it feels like soft thorns for him . Her eyes looks beautiful , her lips looks like watered rose flower in the street side shops . She looks matured and thats what he likes the most .

After few months , she resigned as she is looking for better opportunity. He wasn't worried and he wanted to concentrate on his life to be stable so he spent as usual at her last day . One time he told that she was looking good at one of her dresses which is peach colour , more like festival wear. She came with the same dress at her last day and so he was happy a little but he was not sure whether that is intentional.

He usually asks birthday dates of everyone and so he asked her but she told only the month and asked to find out the date by himself. After a few months her resignation done and some months passed ... They don't had much communication in between . Her birday month came, one day he asked her whether today is your birday and she said yes . 1st time he confessed that he is having crush on her through birthday wishes . She said thank you , he invited her for a lunch or dinner by coming weekend and she said yes again .

He wants to do something different as he already did so many things to the girls in the past . He ordered a kurti first , which is red-pink in colour. Then he bought black accessories matching with the dress (Anklet , bracelet, Neck chain, earrings and bangles ) .

Bracelet and Neck chains are made up of beads where those have been customised and It was imported from Korea . A collective of beads made as bracelet where each beads contains the letters of her name .

The day came , he is curious to present those wonderful gifts but she didn't turned up that day . The plan kept on failing for 3 times because of her then he got triggered a little and showed anger on her before the plan was successful at the fourth attempt . 

He picked her to a open restaurant for lunch . Once had food , he slowly presented those gifts and obviously she felt happy . She replied back that , if it would have been someone else , i would have been proposed but you are not like that and thanks for that since I am also not interested in love as I had very bad experience in the past in love . I just wanted to marry because of my parents sake and I will accept their wish . he replied that's fine not an issue , I would like to celebrate atleast one birthday as he wish for his close circle and thats why he did for you and don't expect me to do the same for next year also by laughing , this has been conveyed consciously but sub consciously , his lips smiled , his brain said fine but his heart shrinked for a sec at that moment . 

Many days went , he slowly stopped speaking to her because he knew that this may lead to love but he doesn't want to happen that any more . However he badly expecting to see her in those costume but she didn't do that even though after months . This period makes his curiosity more and made desperate that when he can see her on his eyes with those costumes .

One day he met her unexpectedly nearby by the home but she was not well at that time. He just enquired and he went by saying " take care " but he was strongly disturbed by seeing her not well and He controlled a lot to not to fall for her but that moment he fell for her as she has some primary complex. He understands that if someone can't bear seeing the close one suffering then that should be love but he didn't express anything to her and letting her go . 

The next day , she asked why you haven't texted me or spoken with me these many days , he then proposed that am in love with you and want to marry you with the below message .

Right now , I want to hug you , close my eyes , breathe from your neck and sleep " .

She asked why now ? he explained what happened inside him to propose her . She is ready to speak as a good friend but not interested in love and all . He accepts her response and tried to stop thinking about her but that doesn't happened . He went mad for her and he was able to recollect how you used to be at the time of 1st love . One side he was thinking not to disturb her by respecting the decision and on the other side he is unable to do that . 

Unstable Mind :
This made him more stressful and he already having Hypersexual disorder, he was unable to concentrate on his routine and finding very tough to run daily . He thought of going for a treatment sometimes. His body feels restless throught the day and his mind is not in his control over some girls he spoke in those times and slowly he started to lose himself day by day . 

Slowly, his mind became unstable. He is now in the toughest phase of his life . He already involved in broken heart , empty Pockets and now unstable Mind which is the most dangerous combination for a living man to overcome it . At nights , he was unable to sleep since he had severe feeling of pain from his thighs to legs but that isn't true , it's just his depression due to the disease he met (hypersexual disorder) .

On the verge of this , he huggs the pillow and started to think that she was there as pillow . He knows that it isn't a right way to do without her interest even though in the imagination but still his body calms down by doing so . 

The pain is unbearable for him as he is unable to cry even though he wants to cry as major part of your stress/depression will go away when you cry he didn't let anyone knows about this because he usually doesn't like to share his sad part of his life to anyone.  He completely lost him and don't know what to do , infact how to live in the longer run .

The touch of a HIBISCUS :
One day he sent a one last final voice note to her stating all those toughness he is going through and blocked her . He decided that's it , this has to be his life , he has to struggle, struggle and struggle until he die as he is not confident in life or seeing another girl again . 

The next day , he went to board his shuttle and saw her standing. He was speechless, he don't know what to do and how to react and he is thinking that she is going to scold him and going to say one final goodbye . But she came and spoken the below golden lines . 

I still don't love you , I think you are not my kinda man but at the same time , genuine girls will never leave a man when he is in need for a girl for his lifetime genuinely . I believe you may be not my man for my brain and heart but definitely you will be my man for my life . 

she lifts her both hands and touches his cheeks and kissed him in forehead , there is a pillar was there and there is empty area on the other side of the pillar . He hugged her waist by knee down and started to cry , he then weeped like a new born starving for breast feed . 

He stood up and hugged her , rain pours from the sky . He often compares her beautiness with white cloud so it feels like, his long and unbearable disease left him when rain and the girl touch him at the same time.

After life :
Both of them did registered marriage as they don't want to spend much money at now and theym can't wait anymore with the help of their parents even though the girls parents were not much interested but she is strong enough to convince them . The information was sent to all his friends and relatives that marriage was done on sudden plan and we will invite for the wedding reception down line in 10 months.

Few months back , he started home based businesses and he got approval to sell his product in one of the top most super markets in the country. He expected to supply within the state but due to the over response the head of the super market asked to supply throught out the country and it became blockbuster. 

In the span of 8-10 months his debts were started to come in control for the 1st time after many years . He believes that he can be set free in two years and he overcame all those three tough moments (Broken heart, empty Pockets & unstable Mind) , importantly he joined film direction course to pursue his dream . 

The Wedding: 
As they planned to keep the wedding reception down the line , he wants to provide a different experience for the audience because nowadays marriage is becoming a formality norms (inviting , going there, taking a pic , eating & coming back home). First he called his few friends who is having proper knowledge about marriage and couple of his friends were event planners. He sat with them and discussed properly to make it grand but with less minimal budget as they don't be believe in spending huge money unnecessarily for marriage .

First and foremost , he got empty land just outside the city for making open wedding from his friends contact as he has big network . This has reduced the rent cost . He hired all the workers seperately and he provided the things required for them to work (example - he hired cooks seperately then he bought and gave the products for them to cook) this has reduced the expenses for the marriage . They set up a stage to write about them in the sticky notes . Mic has been placed to describe about them , the seating position has been separated for each  section of contacts list (relatives , College friends , school friends , office friends etc.) likewise they did so many additional things to provide the different experience for the audience but with minimal budget.

The Marriage Night :
(flashback night to the day where they did registered marriage)

Into the bedroom , he keeps on looking her so she asked and he said I didn't expect that I will for you this much when I met you for the 1st time but now you became so much powerful in my life. You destroyed the animal and brought the human in me , otherwise I don't where the hell I would have been. He further added , what else a men need , when he has the love of his life is around him within the touching distance of air flow. She asked , what about others who still not able get what you are feeling now . He added , till yesterday I haven't got this but just the belief and genuineness brought this to me . 

She asked to dedicate a poem for her but which has to be true , practical and it should mean only her in his life. He replied below.

" You may not be the beautist but your beauty tends to forget all other beauties when your around " . 

Right now , both looked at each other for few secs he hugged her and closed his eyes , he taken a long breathe from her neck and kissed then slept peacefully. Unconsciously he is keep on saying " Thank you Semburuthi , it's all because of you I see myself as I wish .
