Who is more Important ??

When she was a kid, her parents used to keep an eye on who her friends were, with whom she used to hang out with. Whenever they felt a need, they used to tell her that this person is not good so stay away from him. She always listened to what they said and religiously followed their command.

With time, they stopped doing this. They gave her the freedom to take her own choices and learn from mistakes. They trusted her to the core and never interfered in her life.

In her early 20s, she dated a guy and with time realized he is the one she always dreamed of. But she was scared that the relationship wont go the distance because of certain reasons (family wont approve/age difference/caste etc ) . She loved that guy and the love created a hope in her that everything will fall in place at the right time and they both will get married.

She had many guy friends and one of them was her best friend. Her boyfriend was possessive about her. He asked her to keep a distance to her guy friends including her best friend whom she knew for a long time. It was a difficult decision to take. She had to decide what is more important to her, friendship or love. She did whatever he said. She left her friends for him.   She decided in the favor of love.

After a couple of years, her parents got to know about her boyfriend. They met him and decided against him. She cried a lot, tried her best to convince her parents but all in vain. She did not agree to the reasons her parents said in rejecting him. She argued that her happiness is with him so nothing else is more important. Her parents in reply argued that they have seen and experienced life and know that in future things wont work out and she wont stay happy with him. They fought a lot. Her boyfriend also tried his level best but nothing could change her parents mind.

So then came the second important decision in her life. Who is more important , her parents or her boyfriend ???????
