God bless you..
She was born in Feb 1896, daughter of Col. Rif Nido. Traveled to India when she was 4, with her Mother to meet her father. She started livin' in India with her parents as Rulin' class family (India, Pakistan 'n' Bangladesh was under British contorl till 1947). Durin' this stay she often visited back to England 'n' continued her study. When she came to a specific age British Army men 'n' many others started takin' interest in her, she dated one or 2 but nothin' serious. That time's Datin' was alot different than today's, like no Sex no Games.
When she was 18, she went to see an Indian local Wrestlin' match with her father, there she saw an Indian Wrestler 'n' she thought she fell in love that day. His team won the match so he got a chance to talk to her, he was son of an Indian State's Nawab (Nawab = a man with money 'n' political power). She told him that she 'll visit him next day. The next day his servents told him that a Gori Mam (white girl) is askin' for him. He couldn't believe but then he met her 'n' loved her. She told him "I told you, I 'll come".
They fell in love 'n' it created huge problems for both sides. British Col was sufferin' in his fake ego that how can his daughter marry a man of tanned skin color, man of other Religion, man of a country which is Slave to them. On other hand, the Indian guy was facin' huge problems, his father was not ok with this relationship coz it can suffer his Political ties with British 'n' he wanted his son to marry the daughter of another state's Nawab.
Simply, the girl was caged in Army Rest house by her father, the guy was caged in his Indian Palace by his father. She started writin' letters to him through her servents 'n' he was sendin' messages through his servents. Nawab forced his son to marry another girl 'n' he had no other way but to say "yes". His servent came to him 'n' told him that Gori Mam 'll come to him on his weddin' day. Every thing was set with plan 'n' she arrieved there with a question on her face, she couldn't believe that guy was wearin' Groom dress. She slaped his face 'n' said "I told you, I 'll come".
He refused to marry 'n' she took the Bride dress 'n' went inside. After few minutes she was in Indian bride dress, Nawab couldn't resist more to their Love 'n' they got married on same spot that day. After 2 days British Col. Arrieved there with his Army men 'n' took his daughter with him after killin' many innocent people. He wantd to kill Nawab 'n' his son but they had strong Political ties with other British officers, so he couldn't do it. After 3 months she again got a chance 'n' ran away, right before she was gonna sent back to England. She arrieved at Palace 'n' saw her husband on bed, he was so weak that he hardly could get up, she was informed that he doesn't eat. She took his face in her hands from both sides 'n' said "why didn't you eat? I told you, I 'll come".
British Col. took last chance 'n' took his daughter with him back to England. There she gave birth to her first child, her parents forced her alot to marry again but she didn't give in. After 2 years she moved out of her parents home 'n' wrote her first letter to her husband from England. They again started writin' to each other. In 1926 she again came back to India, when she came out of plane she saw her husband right infront of her. She put her both thumbs on her husband's eyes 'n' wiped the tears off 'n' said "I told you, I 'll come".
In August 1947 India 'n' Pakistan stood as 2 independent countries, she moved to Pakistan with her husband 'n' 4 kids. This is her pic taken on that day with her shinin' blond hair covered in Paki style. Her hair was so shinin' beautiful till the day she died. She spent few more years with her husband but her husband died soon. She was still so beautiful 'n' rich so men tried to get her attention but she always said "I 've to go somewhere".
Yesterday was her 2nd death anniversary, my Great Grand Mother died on May 21 2004. I was there in same room with many other members of family. She was completly fit till night of May 19, she never had any serious health problem ever even in the age of 108. I arrieved there on same night 'n' said "see, I 've come". She looked at me, smiled 'n' called me to her, huged me tightly 'n' said "I 've to go".
The moments before she died, she took a very foggy pic of my great grand father in hand, kissed it 'n' placed it on her chest under her hands 'n' said "I told you, I 'll come".
It was the first time, I heard those words with my own ears but it was last time also coz she was gone right after these words, so calmly. I Pray for her 'n' I know she is Prayin' for me sittin' with my Great Grand father, in Heaven.
God bless all......
