“Every person has a
beautiful heart hidden inside their hard shell of strength… to see that heart,
you must to get through the outer shell and reach his/her heart. Until then,
don’t judge anyone”
*****
Samar was not as cruel as I thought him to be. That day he
proved that he had a soft heart, a heart that cares and a heart that feels. Since
that day, I used to smile at him every time we bounced upon each other in the
class or lobby or the canteen. However, that cruel idiot never reciprocated a
smile as if his smile was the precious thing on this earth. He still used to
fight with me but until then, I somehow started loving the sweet and sour
relationship we shared.
We started growing up and I never gave up on my smile, with
a hope that he will smile at me sometime, some day, somewhere.
Two years passed by, I still remember, it was the last
examination of boards when I unknowingly broke into tears in front of hundreds
of students who were happy to cross through an important phase of their life.
Till the date I could not know for what reason I cried that day, may be at some
corner of my heart I knew, Samar was not going to be in my life anymore. Well,
he was never in my life practically but in these two years, I turned addicted
to him, to see him, to fight with him, to smile at him on every single day. I
went school just to have a look of him.
My friends laughed at me on seeing me cry, obviously, they
did not know the reason behind my tears, and neither had I bothered them to tell.
Samar walked up to me and handed his handkerchief saying “Don’t worry, you will
clear the boards”. I smiled within myself and thought what must have made him
say it? Then the bell inside my head rang and I thought about my previous results,
which were horrendously awful. I smiled at him and said “Thank you Samar, Good
luck for the future”. This time that idiot smiled at me and bid me good-bye
without uttering a word.
I thought, sitting
beside the bank of river
the journey of water, the flow’s endeavor,
the journey of water, the flow’s endeavor,
Sides of River are
Never together never apart,
It’s definitely an end, still a new chapter to start.

I pushed a paper boat
on the water floor,
It floated from one corner to the other, to make them meet & explore.
It floated from one corner to the other, to make them meet & explore.
I knew somehow they will
meet under the shadow of moon,
Call it our destiny, but we will meet soon.

As expected, he chose to be a doctor. He shifted to another
school for his further study with science as his stream. Moreover, I, I somehow
managed to clear my boards and pursued commerce. I never saw him again after
the last exam day but he never left my mind. He was a mystery I could not
solve, I had never met someone like him in my life, the enigma he carried with
himself made me crazy every passing second.
A year passed by and we never met each other, never talked
to each other, not even accidentally or by destiny. Then came a savior to my
curiosity, Facebook. I was new to it; Facebook was not an addiction in its
beginning days as it is now but my reason to join it was none other than Samar.
I was at Sakshi’s place that after noon when she motivated me to send him a
friend request. His account was in front of my eyes, the cursor was over the
Add Friend button, but my fingers did not have the guts to animate. There are
situations when you are mentally oscillating between few things, whether you should
do it or should not do it, I was going through one such situation.
Sakshi pushed my finger down and BAM! The friend request
notification popped on the screen. Within next thirty seconds, a request
accepted notification made my day. I was jumping and hopping on the bed like
monkeys, yeah I know that’s stupid but I was a little heart then who was unaware
of the real emotions of this world. Then as expected, we began talking. Every
evening we waited for each other to turn online so that we can give an end to
our day by talking to each other.
Time flew by and I never realized how important he was
turning into my life. I could yet not solve him, one moment he was funny,
making me smile, and at another moment he would be as grave as a living dead
would. He made me fall for him. When the thought triggered my heart that I was
falling in love, I pushed myself back because I knew we could never ever be together.
I belonged from a conservative family and love marriage was a strict no-no for
me. Well, that was something for the later part, but I did not agree to my
heart when it said that Samar was the reason for its beats.
Your mind and heart never agree to some point, and we were
experiencing it. Somewhere, I felt as if even he was getting addicted to me.
From Facebook, we moved to cell phones. We never had guts to call each other
but every second of the day we text each other.
Apparently, Sumer was transform into a lovey-dovey friend. I
never wished to wake up without his good morning texts. It became a routine to
sleep until he sends the text. His texts were a treat to read:
“Sun squeezes its brightness just for you. Moon gives you a
different shade every night to love….to live a new life… It will be new. It
will be a nicest day of your life. GM”
All I needed was someone who could listen to me. He was
becoming that someone. He was there with me talking on the phone in my
sleepless nights. I never asked him to stay awake and listen to me, nor did he
ever try to disconnect the calls. He wiped my tears silently; He taught me
‘What is real Happiness’. He gave me moments to cherish.
Care is pure when it is unsaid. He never said he cared for
me. However, I could feel the tonic of Care injected by him in my life.
You gave me hopes,
you gave me a new life to live
More than what will I live, or what I already lived.
More than what will I live, or what I already lived.

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
ReplyDeleteThe words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let

of the room a little intrusive and not extremely distinct,
but how you use this space and what you've incorporated on it, around it and over it
makes the big difference. then the next thing to look at is
hiding these appliances with clever cabinetry.
