Nice one gyanguru...I too have a similar experience Id like to share ..........I was into my late teens coming to the USA, me and my girl made a pact to wait for each other as I promised to be someone, work hard and ask her hand in marriage as we parted in tears, we kept in constant contact as her family knew our deal too. Like everyone here in the USA, I was struggling between work  and school. As a student I was working in a greek restaurant and her family knew that, two years went by and still working, school and stuff. It was my promise to her that made me go through all my hardship. I declined many advances by girls and avoided night clubs and any bad company. After I graduated my associate degree I joined another school for my bachelors. My girls kept in touch with me all the time and one day she called me crying that a PR holder from Australia asked her hand in marriage, I was going crazy and called her dad and begged to stop this, you know what he told me??????? What are you??? what do you have? who are you? how will you provide for my daughter? AND HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE??? I was speechless but I begged him saying that I love her and will do anything for her and Im doing everything I can to be that guy that will take care of her forever..........he wouldnt budge and warned me to never call and leave his daughter alone. I called the house plenty of times, sent my family to talk to them but they wouldnt change. Then I got an email from my girl saying that she has to do what her parents ask her coz her dad is a heart patient and she asked me to forgive her and to forget her, worst of all she wrote our love was kiddy love and this is the real world and i should move on....man I was pissed.....well she got married.  I was a wreck here, got drunk and cried everynight..................later I decided to SHOW them what I was made off..........I studied even harder, that time if you guys remember  amnesty program opened and I got my greencard. same time I met a Gal, full of life, laughter and love......we fell in love and got married. We both were students and both worked two jobs and enjoyed our company , shared stories and just loved eachother .....later bought a house, got good jobs, Kids and life is good.............about two years back I found out some news through some friends who are in Australia........That guy my ex married is an alcoholic and a gambler good for nothing bum..........now I think they have kids and she is working to support his habit. I feel sad for her as I did truly love her BUT let me tell you folks....her parents know everything about her husband and also about where I am now...................that Must suck ...........her dad must have eaten his words, how he insulted me and how I BEGGED HIM.....well as life goes on.....he too must live with his decision, surprised he didnt have a heatr attack now and now I look back and you know what I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING.............

SO siridhar brother....try your best to get her BUT if you dont, become the greater then person that she and her family went afterand  later they will look at you and regret letting you go......make your self brother because there will be someone better out there for you and you like me, gyanguru will also agree that  whatever happens, happens for the best. Good luck
