“My story of losing love helped me gain my footing in this world. I was an ordinary boy with an incredibly difficult childhood. And then she happened! I met her first in my tuition class. It felt like all the world’s search for the ‘one’ ended right there. When my mom came to know about us, she made me promise that until the time I get into a good job, I shouldn’t get into anything unnecessarily. I held onto that promise and kept working towards my goal. It would take me another two years to muster the courage to speak to her but when it did finally happen, I came to know that she felt the same way towards me too. What followed were 7 months of the blissful period of my life. We used to meet occasionally but we kept in touch through calls. The days leading to my engineering were some of the worse days of my life owing to personal situations in the house but through it all, she was there to help me through it. I would even go on to say that, it was she who saw me through those days. And then, like with all happy things, my story met its fatal end. Our families come from such diverse backgrounds and it was a given that this story has no probable end to it. And then many issues cropped up at her end of the house and she decided it best to call things off. It was an earth-shattering moment at that time but it was only later on that I came to know about everything she was facing on our behalf. The easiest thing would have been to turn my dejection into hatred but then, this situation turned things around for me. You never know what another person is going through so before jumping into conclusions, it’s best if we live and let live. A few years later, I heard through a common friend that she got married and that was that! To this date, I hold the utmost respect for her in my life and I continue to keep her in my prayers. She came into my life to help me through one of the most testing periods of my life and for that, I am eternally grateful. Today, I lead a content life having made peace with my past and moving on, with a head full of dreams.”
