Always A Secret
Confidentiality was of top priority in those days. The girl too could not understand how to react. She was guilt-ridden too as she did not want her parents to face any problem just because of her. At the same time, she did not want to leave Vinar. However, she decided to obey her parents.
Comes Happiness
Nine months passed by in maternity home and she finally gave birth to a baby girl. They christened her Denise. The name was kept after baby’s father Dennis. The baby girl was put up for adoption just after her birth.
Put Up For Adoption
Lehmann was heart-broken when she learned that her baby has been put up for adoption. Despite the separation of nine months, Vinar and Karen were still in love with each other. For one more time, Vinar popped up the question to her and once again their parents disapproved of it.
Not Approved
Lehmann’s parents were just not ready to give approval to their relationship, no matter how much they tried. Vinar got himself enlisted in the army and Lehmann took admission in The University of Minnesota. Once again they were going into the long distance relationship.
Again Getting Separated
Even though they were miles away from each other, love between the two did not lessen a bit. Vinar would write her letters. However, those letters never reached Lehmann as her father would hide them once they arrived. Gradually misunderstanding crept up into their relationship. Vinar always wondered why was she not replying oblivious to the fact that the girl never got any of his letters. On the other side, Lehmann was trying to come terms to the fact that he had forgotten about her.
Love Did Not Help
Both of them were immensely in love with each other yet could not be with each other. They both had their heart shattered into pieces. Vinar expressed, “I went through hell to be with her, but I couldn’t. We couldn’t be together.”
