Its the evening of 23 January 2011. And its almost 48 hours to the time when i hear about my fate. When the clock is clicking and you are at the receiving end , how often does it seem that clock is going the other way.
When the unfateful seems about to happen , how often you wish for time to stand still.
The wait of the uncertain suddenly seems better than the pain of the uncertain and demonized future.
Yet for all the waits and all the haggling i am getting goosebumps as the fateful day nears.
The only face floating in front of me these days is hers. As i scout through wilderness and my mind meanders through the vast meadows of the thoughtful space i only seem to be lost for her and yet .. she appears by my side.
One of the most wondorous moments of life and heartbraking also imagining what may be in store 2 days down the line.
Its not only the most personal of my life's part that is taking such momentous turn too many different things happening at different paces in my life as it is being torn apart by the battle within.
It is one of those junctures where nothing seems to be going right. Expectations are so high that even you yourself for a moment want to believe in the fact that there has to be a god somewhere very near.
The situation where you know that you cannot confide in anyone, some issues no one knows and no one is supposed to know. The burden of being myself increases and in this situation you are left to realize that there is no one around but you. The lady who has guided you through for such a major part of your past many months is not there.
There is nothing more lonely than this. And it is one of those few places where i can tell you all about the things with me.
So lets Continue with the story in the meanwhile if it has any credence by now as the emotions and my life my current state seems to be taking over my past and in what a way.
She went home that fateful day and i was left alone in delhi. I made myself much more busy indulging myself in as many projects as i could conjure up . Princi had asked me to start working on a dedicated lab and i was already working on those lines. I used to talk to her as often as i could but the pressure of being on the job had started taking its toll. I was in college as often as i could in the day as well as in the night. It was me and the Project.
The whole vacations went that way and it was finally open college.
She took admission in a college not very near mine. So phone was the only way out.
Slowly it was creeping towards her birthday. It was a big day supposedly. Yes it was. I was gearing up to meet her that day suddenly something happened we were supposed to meet that day when one of my sponsors of project called a meeting that day and from the meeting itself i was supposed to leave for a place far off. It was hell I could not be present to on her birthday.
I was split. My project or she.
I thought She would understand... The guys out there would not. I thought the fact that the project and hopes of a dozen friends rested on me was more important than my personal pleasure of being in company of someone i loved. i decided to torture myself deep inside and go for the meeting and out of the city and hoped she would understand as only she could.
I was wrong for a moment, she did not.
It was i alone in the arena. No one was there to understand what i did and why i did.
I wept that night as never before. It had been a difficult day.
But braving all that i called her up on the stroke of the midnight and wished her. She was happy for that atleast and then i left the city for 2 whole days.
Did i do the right thing. On hindsight would say " I should not have" But i know put me in the same situation again and "this is what i would do". This is how i am. Those who know me know that.
But how dearly i wanted not to do that that day.
It was not the breaking point dear friends and followers. The breaking point is still to come. Keep following for the breaking point tomorrow and the result day after.
Pay for a good result for me and i would pray to god to give me a strong heart to brace the abd one..
Signing off for the
day
You taught me how to love;
you taught me how to live;
you taught me how to laugh;
you taught me how to cry,
but when you left,
you forgot to teach me how to forget you.
