THE RIDE FOR LOVE (2)

It is the year 1970, when Linnea Von , a 20-year-old student of a Swedish well known family, travels to India to get a portrait made by a gifted artist. The artist was born into a poor Indian family of the lowest caste, also known as the “untouchables.” Despite the incredibly difficult circumstances, the artist named Pradyumna Das had gained an outstanding reputation for being a gifted painter. His reputation led linnea Von to travel all the way to India to get her portrait done.

But who knows what Fate has planned for them ??~~

By the time the portrait was finished, the two had fallen in love. Pradyumna was fascinated with Linnea ’s beauty. Never before had he seen a more beautiful woman from the Western world. He gave his best to capture all her beauty in the portrait, yet never fully succeeded. Nonetheless, the portrait was magnificent and Linnea fell for his simplicity and his beautiful character. Because of him, she spontaneously decided to stay longer in India. Out of a couple of days became weeks and then even months. The two had fallen so deeply in love that they decided to get married according to traditional Indian rituals.

But nothing lasts forever ♾️~~~

Unfortunately, the time came when Linnea had to leave again in order to complete her studies in London. Thousands of miles separated the two but their feelings for each other never changed. They stayed in contact through letters, which they exchanged almost weekly with each other. Naturally, the newlyweds terribly struggled with the great distance between each other. Linnea offered her husband to buy him air tickets, which he refused. He had not only decided to complete his studies first, but he had also set his mind on reuniting with the love of his life on his own terms. He even made her the promise that he would do anything he can to see her again.

Will he be able to keep his promise ?~~

After Pradyumna had finished his studies, he took all his possessions and sold them. Unfortunately, the money he earned didn’t even come close to a flight ticket. All he could afford was a cheap and used bicycle. Many would have been greatly disappointed, some would have even given up. But not Pradyumna. Instead of allowing the difficult circumstances to stop him from seeing his beloved wife again, he met the decision to use what he had in order to see her again. Nothing could stop him from reuniting with his wife, even if that meant an exhausting bicycle ride half around the world.

Quite determined he is , isn't He?~~~

His decision was the beginning of a bicycle journey from India to the Western world. Pradyumna took all his paintings and brushes along with him in order to financially support his endeavor. His voyage led him through eight countries and took more than four months. But

he never stopped, no matter how much big the hurdles were he kept going , saying in his my always " i can do it " , "Today is my day" , "it IS possible" and so on.

And eventually, he arrived at Linnea ’s hometown in Sweden and finally saw her again.

And From then on, the two did never leave each other’s side for too long.

And that was the Love story of the Two ~~
