An unbelievably crazy love story has surfaced in Kerala where a man somehow managed to hide his lover from his family for 10 years while they all lived under the same roof.
It all began in February 2010, when Sajitha, who was then 18 years old went missing after she left her parents' home in Ayilur village of Palakkad district.
Sajitha had left her parents' home to visit a relative nearby, but when she did not return they filed a police complaint.
Though initially there were some investigations, it could not make any headway, and everyone including her family and the village accepted that she might have died.
But to the shock of her parents and villagers, earlier this week it was revealed that Sajitha was alive and was until recently living in a house close to that of her parents.
Since the day she went missing, Sajitha was living with her lover, a youth identified as Rahman, who was then 24 years old and belonged to the same village.
Rahman and Sajitha were in a relationship and no one including both families or friends had any clue about it.
Sajitha has been living in Rahman's room since the day she left her home.
Rahman who is an electrician, used his skills to fit an automatic lock to the room, which was always kept locked for others. He even kept some connected electric wires outside the door, from which his kin got electric shocks a few times when they went near it.
Rahman also started acting weird with his family, which led to them thinking that he had some mental issues.
His food habits also changed suddenly and he began having a lot, which he would never eat or drink with his family, but would take to his room.
Sajitha who was hiding in the small room would only sneak out at night to use the toilet.
The story unravelled on Tuesday when Rahman, who had gone missing from his home some three months ago was spotted by his brother Basheer, driving a bike in a nearby town.
While Basheer who was driving a truck tried to stop him Rahman sped away after which he sought the help of the police.
When stopped by the Police, Rahman told his brother that he was living with a girl in a rented house in a nearby village.
After they were produced in the court the couple said they wanted to live together and all this was done fearing that their families won't accept their relationship.
