Do you believe in God? Do you believe
in fate?, for all the above questions my answer was a giant "NO" till the time I
went though ever great surprise of my life, I was forced to believe in something
which I never did. It may be God’s grace or something else that played around
me to fulfill my wish. I don’t know what exactly it was….
I had been working with Airtel: it
wasn’t because of my digree, my tongue was my qualification for the job. Life was moving as
luxurious as it can without money - a mobile connection paid by the company
[the purpose behind the connection was if you aren’t paying the bill you would never
feel to cut the call while yelling to subordinates]. Yes subordinates, don’t
you think a person working last 3 years couldn’t be Team Lead? Yes I was, so
all my responsibilities were to lead the people and manage the collection.
It was a
usual Monday morning, I had to go office little bit early as it was month end
and there was enough pressure from top,since the bill collection hadn’t reached up to
the mark. I rushed to bus stop by skipping my breakfast; I heard enough shout from
Mom for not to have breakfast. I was trying to go to gulf (where you will get
money from date trees, not really but we, Kerala people believe so) I wish
to get visa as earlier so that I could escape from this pressure (We
are always like this we never satisfied with what we have – money was my
concern). I reached the bus stop and was shouting a junior, who was
in half sleep – I don’t like to shout but I wanted to reach my target and it was the only possible way.
There was
no bus for about five minutes, I turned back to find a seat then I saw a girl with
curly hair occupied one corner of a long seat. I didn’t go and sit I just smiled
at her but reply was a frown look (nobody going to smile at me if they had
heard my conversat). Since we were in same bus stop we had boarded in same bus and got down at same stop. It was interesting to follow her but that ended at Women’s ITI gate.
Day 2: I woke up early in the
Morning, the main point I wish to tell is that I had my breakfast – I managed
to finish all the things on time and reached bus stop in time. She wasn’t
there, I had waited for few more minutes, she came on time and we had alighted same
bus. It had been a complete week I was continuing the same routine; but, I didn’t know anything about her. Monday morning – the day I decided to speak with her; I prepared hundred
no no THOUSAND times in front of the mirror. The funniest thing was that it was
just an intro not a proposal at all. That wasn’t difficult as I thought, I passed in the “first ‘Hi’ conversation test” we had a nice
conversation. I have read somewhere “First ‘Hi’ and Last ‘Bye’ ” are difficult
to say (I had told both to someone in my life -while saying ‘first Hi’ she
was a stranger and while saying ‘Last bye’ She was my life. I will tell you
that story later).
Time went off; life is
something that which never let you taste the happiness for long time.
The news had broken my heart, yes I had to leave my native within 2 weeks. I had
prepared myself but the reality was beyond my expectation I miss my mom, brother,
sister and even I miss her too as she was also a part of my life. I knew that I had
a feeling for her but we weren’t close enough to share that and I couldn’t
contact her further (7 years back you couldn’t see a girl with mobile moreover she
was a student). I didn’t have other choice so I left the relation in the boundaries
of friendship and flew to gulf.
It had been 6 months I was struggling
to settle in gulf - Job hunting, language all over pain of loneliness even there were
enough friends to support. I have decided to give up so many times but I didn’t
or I couldn’t there was enough debt in my name ('Never give up' that the only
word my uncle had told me). As a
result of all my hard work I managed to get a job in a good company. I accepted
the reality of Gulf and start building a life there. Cultural programs, charity
and connections within a year I came to be a part of Gulf. I didn’t know how
that 5 years went once I started loving the country which made my entire family
happy in terms of money.
That
day came up - parole of 60 days a accumulated leave of my last 4 years. I was on
28 and the main Agenda of this visit was my Marriage. Yaa Marriage, ohh I missed
to tell you that, the word Marriage remind me about HER, I really thank to Zuckerberg: he had
helped me to be in touch with her, yes it was facebook. My friend had
told me to create a facebook account so that we could keep in touch with people they are far from us. I believed that it was something which was only famous in Gulf
countries until she had sent a friend request – the time I realized the same
revolution had happened in my home town as well. Last 1 year she was with me to
chat (I really don’t want lag the story so leaving it for your imagination, keep
in mind she was my friend
not even half girlfriend). I had told her about my marriage arrangements happening at home and she had
also shared that her proposals were also going on.
3
hours the time came up for what I was waiting for since last five years,yes I had reached. Almost all the family
members were there to host – this is what I love the most in my family, we are
staying apart but we are together. It was an exciting day, I was back at the smell, wind
and even I could hear all the people around me are speaking my mother tongue. The
assignment for tomorrow was much more interesting. I was going to meet a girl
that my relatives were already short listed.
Next
day morning: I didn’t sleep well, the happiness and also I was thinking about today; lots of cinema sequences went through my mind – first time I was
going to meet a girl she might be part of my life – Yes Life partner. I went to
the address in the early morning (don’t
misunderstand that I was too eager to get married, she was going for job and
she won’t be available after 8.00 am). Her house wasn’t so far from mine, me
and my brother reached there by 7.45 am, she might be getting ready; not just
to go to office but to meet me too as she was already informed about my arrival.
You
may be imagining a girl with tea, trust me in real life there is no tea
business – they had offered but I declined politely. I had started conversation
with her father, in the middle of conversation my brother poked me and informed
arrival of the Girl. I turned back and saw her from toe to head, once I met her
eye I felt an electric power went through my body. ohh it was she, the girl whom
I missed as much as my family. Within next 20 days I owned my best half.
It
has been 2 years that she is with me. Still I couldn’t imagine what had happened in
my life. I never believed that Life can be wonderful than dream but it can. What could I tell you from this
experience is that never give up and never lose your hope at any case, Future
would gift you something special for all your hard work and commitment.
