Sitting in a car, I observed the surroundings; a young
couple enjoying their ice creams, a happy family moving parallel to me with a
bike, a cute girl holding her mama’s hand to cross the road and some people
screaming on footpath to sell their wares. I could see the clear examples of
happiness, hope, love, trust, sorrow. The red light glow and the timer of
traffic started to count down. I closed my eyes and a thousand flashes from my
past played in my mind.
Four years before my parents decided to select a suitable
groom for me out of many proposals that came for me, but I already had someone
in my heart. So I had to reveal my relationship status in front of my parents.
After so much denial they finally agreed with my choice and they called him for
a meeting.
My parents seemed to impress after meeting him and processed
further the marriage proposal. Our engagement was done in a grand way; we took
the blessings from elders and heard our friend’s banters. The moment was
captured in thousand clicks. When everything was picture perfect, life played a
nasty game with me. The news broke me and shattered my dreams of a happy and
blessed married life.
He was no more; I lost him in a dreadful accident. I was too
shocked to react something, the truth was bitter and I was in no condition to
accept it. I closed myself in a room for a whole week. My relatives and friends
showered their sorrows and sympathies for me. I was lost in my void thoughts,
when something inspired me to move forward in my life.
Then I decided to leave the misery, grief and move forward
in my life. I shared my thoughts with my parents and they supported me. I
decided to study further and complete my master degree. Papa used to tell
me,‘The deep past should be buried; if you always look back at your past,
then you can’t start a new chapter named ‘present’ of your life.’
I changed the place to leave behind the negative atmosphere
and settled in another city closed to my university. I found my optimism in the
motivations and lessons of life. I started my new life with lots of enthusiasm.
I made new friends, gave focus on my studies and learned how to be on my own. I
had never been apart from my parents. I was too much dependable on them. At first I felt difficult, but eventually
coped with the surroundings. I had successfully completed my master’s degree
and got placed in a multinational company. My parents shined with pride and joy
for my success.
The sound of horns brought me back from my thoughts and I
restarted my car to move further.
I agree to ensure (to the best of my abilities and circumstances) that this blog post remains accessible in an un-altered state for a minimum of one year.
Thanks for stopping by...
