A nice series PART-11
SHE:
Today was Niru’s birthday and also his last day in Bangalore as well as in this company. He left in the evening for Mumbai. It was really a heartbreaking moment to see him parting, especially when both of us were completely aware that we might not see each other in future. I had made the decision; the only problem was how to convey it to him. I chose to be practical than just blind in love. People give you cool gifts on your birthday but what I gave him was just a shock, a damn big shock. He didn’t say anything except for ‘congrats’ and ‘good luck’ but his face told me everything he wanted to convey. I cried there standing in the whole crowd of his friends who had gathered to wish him luck and goodbye. He couldn’t cry out but if possible, he could just have wept then and there. I said him sorry that I chose Rajesh over him. What he replied was surprising. He just replied, ‘No need to say sorry. It’s your life, you have complete right to make a decision and you are mature enough to do so and you have made a wise decision. We were friends and will be, but please don’t expect me to keep a contact with you. I loved you and I really loved you from the bottom of my heart. Now whenever I will think of you I will not have anything else than love in my mind and I think same might be the case with you; and that won’t be right especially when u will be a married woman; married to someone else. So this is our last meet. Thanks for the friendship and the feeling of love that you gave me. Best luck for your future life.’ And he just went inside the bus. Was he so aloof or he just tried to sound so as not to make me feel worse about our parting? I think for all those days that I spent with Niru, I still couldn’t understand him properly. Anyways Niru, what the truth is that I loved you. I loved you like anything but the decision I made was based on practical aspects of life. My decision will prove to be better for both of us and I am damn sure of it. I had started writing diary since when I had seen you for the first time, now since you are not there in my life; I am going to discontinue this practice. This is the last page of my diary.
Best of luck Niru, for your future. Love you. Bye-bye.
HE:
This was the worst birthday of my life when I broke up with my love. It can’t be termed as a breakup as such but we parted; we parted forever with a promise not to cross the other’s life anytime in future. I felt like crying; but boys don’t cry, do they? Yes they cry, but secretly….and that’s why I am crying now. The whole page is wet because of my tears. Anyways this is the last page. I have decided not to write this diary anymore. This diary had come into my life with secretary, and since secretary is no more with me, what’s the purpose of this diary? Secretary just wanted to say best luck for your future.
I Love you. Bye.
RAJESH:
Finally, today is that lucky day for me. She said yes. I am so happy. She is mine. Finally my dream has come true. Oh God thanks a lot. You have made my day, in fact my life. Very few people get to live with someone they love; I am one of those lucky ones. My happiness has no bounds. I am very happy today. Niru left the company today; I don’t know whether we will be able to meet each other in future. I had gone to say good bye and wish good luck to him. He was talking to her. When I saw her face, I again felt some pain in my heart. Are they both having something? If so, why did she say Yes to me? Are they trying to cover-up something? Or is she playing games with me? Or am I coming as an odd between the two? I could see tears in Niru’s eyes when he left her and got into the bus. Her condition was no different, in fact she literally cried. She seemed to recover after a couple of minutes but the way she was looking somewhere into the vacuum, her face clearly was clearly telling her diligent attempts to control tears. Oh god, please show me the way. I hope I didn’t do anything wrong by proposing her . The way they both were talking to each other didn’t show any sign of quarrel or fight between them. Then why they separated? Or they shared some feeling for each other and none of them just bothered to express it? Whatever the situation might be, she has said ‘yes’ to me; must be for some reason, whatever; she is mine now.
Niru is her past and she will forget him; in fact she will have to. Whatever the case may be,
I love her and that’s it.
GOD:
Ok. Here is the end of this story, not a unique; in fact a very common one and a very sad ending personally for me. You might be expecting me to interfere in it at the eleventh hour and change the ending so that either; before the bus starts, She runs to the bus and gets into it and goes with Niru to Mumbai or probably when the bus is about to leave, Niru jumps out and hugs her or Rajesh feels something wrong and just takes her on bike and follows the bus just to stop it and make her get into the bus for Niru and so on? But even I cannot help people who cannot help themselves and also as I said before, I had already decided not to intervene and I stuck to my word. Everything in the life comes with a price and if you are not ready to pay for it then you will lose it. And it looked to me that the girl was not ready to pay the price for her love who is Niru now. She chose the easy way out which was with Rajesh. She took the decision after evaluating each option she had.
She had thought practically in every aspect and then she chose to kill her love (I wonder what happened to those feelings of the girl” But I love Niru a lot, probably more than I used to love Rajesh in college days”. Now you will say that it’s me only who decides everything ultimately. No. Indeed it’s not true at least in today’s time. You have started playing games with yourself now so even I cannot help. I am worried about Niru as how he would be feeling so I will have to look at him as he is totally alone.
I want to say one thing here it’s very difficult to find someone whom you love and who in return loves you at the same time. It’s not easy to find love with True heart. It’s very difficult to find someone who just accepts you as it is, no conditions. They just love inner beauty and true soul.
& here is the end of this story…
… Some things we really take for granted. Some things are possible in life, but we just do not take that very small FIRST step towards it, realizing it later that we could have done that !!! Some things are just made for you, get it! Otherwise our life would be like a jig-saw puzzle with a piece missing in it.
Best of Luck to all …
