LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
“Love has no boundaries, but has certain rules. Sacrifice and acceptance
being the most important among them.”
THIS IS ME:
At last, I am going to propose her today.
It has been over two years since we met and she became an inseparable part of
my life. I am just another fat idiot who sits in the back benches trying to
ignore every word said by the lecturers. The only thing I know (knew) was to
write and I stopped doing that too, when my writings were rejected by college
magazine to publish their “jugaadu” writers’ articles. In short, I have nothing
special in me. These thoughts are the ones which held me back from proposing
her all these days. Today, I got placed in a reputed company. Of course, I was
given a job designation which I was not even aware of its existence before 2
months. But I’m happy, as were the 90% of the students who got jobs which are
nowhere near their dream jobs. I told my parents and they were proud of me. The
next thing I decided is that I am going to propose to Maya!
5 YEARS LATER:
“Love is magic, figuratively and literally.
If magic is nothing but a simple act covered up by illusions which make it look
difficult to understand, then love is no different!” With these lines, I
completed writing my third book at 5 am in the morning. Then I went on to make
two cups of coffee and with that I woke up Maya. Her hair all messed up and
mascara half faded, she was looking eternal in those shorts and Minion tees. As
her brown eyes were still half closed, her two beautiful glossy lips were
sipping the Coffee. After she drank the coffee, I kissed her and my son who’s
speeling and got out from there. I now have Maya in my life and I became a
writer. Wasn’t this all I asked for?
“Life is beautiful. Isn’t it?”
THE PROPOSAL:
As I went to her home, aunty said that she
was upstairs, in her bedroom. I knocked and went inside to surprise her, only
to find her bleeding from her head. We took her to the hospital and all the
tests were done. Aunty came out furiously, slapped me and told me not to bring
her daughter home again. I went in. She told me crying, that she is pregnant
and the guy responsible for it refused to even talk her from the moment he came
to know about it. She tried to shoot herself with the airsoft gun, but being
the plastic bullets, they only penetrated till the border of her brain. Her
condition was stable for the next 7 months but while giving birth to her child,
her brain condition got serious and she went into the state of severe trauma. From
then on, she can only perform the involuntary actions such as eating, drinking
etc.
NOW:
I gave up my job and started writing again
so that I can always be there to take care of her. I moved away to US as my
parents found it humiliating that I’m raising her child as my own and making
her a part of my family. I still wait for her to wake up. And I don’t even know
if she accepts my proposal.
“Life
isn’t beautiful in itself. It’s your way of acceptance and adjusting power that
makes your life beautiful and meaningful.”
