Distance....



                                                     



Moving on wasn’t easy but they decided to .

It was not going to work out owing to their professional demands which traversed in different directions argued their families .

Giving in to the circumstances they settled down , though almost around the same time but with different individuals in different cities .

Trying hard every day to make their new relationship work and never displaying a pinch of dissatisfaction , being the mature individuals they were .

Still a void persisted , speaking in silence  “ sometimes distances do not matter but people do “ .

On this day of letter " D "

Chopping Board...



Life took a refreshing start when a small town girl married that perfect bachelor she met on a matrimonial site .
Little did she knew that imperfections would creep in so soon invading her dream life .
 
“30 years and not a single day had I demanded anything and in two days she needs a chopping board for cutting vegetables , huh “ screamed her mother in law from the other side of the receiver , reminding her of her origins .

“ Come back to us , I will see them “ said her enraged father .

 He sat down on the sofa staring blankly at the chopping board that remained untouched , days after his wife stepped out leaving him behind .

                                              

For the day of letter " C "

Beginning....



                                                


With gentle steps she came inside the room sliding the door screen a bit , placing the tea cups on the table she greeted them with folded hands displaying the hint of family values they were searching for in their would be daughter in law .

Preparations for the marriage started with fanfare taking care of every minute detail to please the groom’s side to keep them appeased .

But the lucky girl transformed into a living nightmare when the surgeons declared that her left palm had to be amputated owing to the accident she suffered while returning from the market that day on an expedition for buying hand crafted designer jewelry .

Stripped off the eligibility to dress up as a radiant newlywed she was left out to languish, thankfully with the support of her near and dear ones .

And that’s when she met him , the man who spoke plenty of emotions without a single utterance giving her life a new beginning .

Again...



She sat exactly 3 rows apart  , when he first saw her at the inter house competition .

Dancing to the tunes of the latest number she swept off the stage with her grace , inscribing her name not only in the winner’s list but also in his heart .

His every effort of wooing her were in vain making her more stubborn with each passing day , giving in to the changing circumstances they flowed along like gravels in the course of life’s race.

Years later….

Seeing her sitting alone opposite his table at a coffee shop , his belittled hope rekindled again .

                                      

The day of letter  " A "

                                                 



Above...


                                                               



The night was quite , spilling moonlight all over the lonely road and not a single soul was visible till far .
Just like his life where everyone had closed doors  .
They were all around till he was of some use for them but when his time came to get paid back ,  in a blink of an eye they turned their faces away leaving him stranded in the middle of life’s path .

And today here he was on this fateful night zooming across trees that played hide and seek in the dark , like good times which often plays with people , bestowed with a good heart .
“ All of them , they all are same “he thought “ It isn’t their mistake but mine  for not having recognized the world and it’s ways .”

With lots of hope he had approached them again but unfortunately empty handed he returned back  .

“ We should never help anyone in their need “ he said out loud knowing very well that nobody was listening .
Tears struggled on the verge of falling down through his black eyes which now held a swollen look owing to the sleepless nights he spent for a prolonged period .

The cold wind dashed into his brown skin like those emotionless words which were unsuccessful in bringing out the pain on his face but wrenched his heart deep within .
“ Those who don’t have the ability to reach shouldn’t dream big , remain where you are , that’s what you are destined for “ he was advised the same morning .
He always believed Almighty’s there somewhere , near by listening to his silent pleas .
If he does , then where has he vanished testing the limits of his patience and his honesty .

His eyes fell on a man standing at a distance , asking for lift but this time he decided not to stop.
“Enough of good work , they are leading me nowhere” he thought and crossed that man instantly without even glancing sideways .

But his kind heart forbid him from doing so , turning his bike again , he went towards that man to inquire if he really need help .
Seeing the bike approach , the man ran forwards with all his might and fell down at his feet  surprising the bike rider in return .
The man said in a pleading voice  “Sir my son is admitted in the hospital and I was going near him , when my bike suddenly stopped on this road . For the past few hours I am asking every passerby for lift but nobody stopped . Thank God ! I knew someone will definitely come to my rescue “
“It’s ok” he said , made him sit on the pillion and dropped him near the city hospital in about half an hour .

 “ Ok tell me one thing “ he asked “After you were denied by every passer by how did you still believe  that somebody will give you a lift . “
“ Sir you know , someone’s there above  who listens to the prayers of true hearts and  He will come to help us in  some or the other form .“ the man replied with a modest smile on his face before vanishing inside the hospital corridor .

Next day…. 

 An unknown number blinked on his phone’s screen .
“ Hello “  
“ Your project has been approved sir , “ said the voice on the other  side .

The tinkering sound of the bells from the nearby shrine flowed in , reinforcing his belief that yes someone’s there above who listens to the prayers of  honest hearts .
