AND IT GOES ON....MY LOVE...

  AND IT GOES ON... MY LOVE...

             Life was like plain-salted Lays until she entered into my life. Life was
like a roller-coaster that goes straight like a boring passenger train until she stepped
into my life. Simply to say,life was like a strict professor's lecture throughout
the hour without having the attendance done until she arrived. But then that she entered
,anything dull went rocking and anything casual ended shocking. Wanted God to answer this
question of mine,how Love turns anyone into a maniac. Frankly,I was a maniac,mad
for her,my sweetheart. Daily phone calls,Facebook,Whats app,Hike,Line,everything went
short for us and our love. None of these could effectively substitute the distance between
us. Still,the four beautiful years of our engineering studies made our love for each other
unfathomable. But amidst those crests of bliss were also troughs of trivial which made me,
many-a-times,spend sleepless nights and hours of hellish torture. Whatever it was,we ended
up in love. Damn hell it was,truly,when we were out for our jobs. She,by misfortune's worst
game-play,landed herself in Bangalore,leaving me far behind,across the shores of Arabian sea,
in the city of Mumbai. All that was in my mind was to complete my training soon and to fill
my option for job,Bangalore. And I wanted to make it a surprise for her.

           Days were passing on horribly slow and disgusting like the Loos of the Sahara. But
as everyone knows,"Love makes Life beautiful",and it made even mine. One of the most memorable
moments was the day of the new year. I was planning for it since the day of the Christmas. I
had a friend of mine in Bangalore whom I told about her whereabouts and planned to do something
special on that eve. On that night of 31st December,second's hand of the clock was running at a
rapid pace to soon welcome the new year and my heartbeat too,to see how happy she would be when
she would see that what  I have planned for her. When the time was 11:50 pm,I called her to start
the video chat. Talked till 11:58 pm,then told her that I had something special for her.  She told
me once that she was living in a PG(Paying Guest) Hostel,on the third floor. I told her to open the
door from where the backyard was visible and keep her laptop facing it. She did as I said. She,then
 said,there wasn't anything special. I just told," Wait and see". As the clock  struck twelve ,
bunches of  Diwali rockets flew high in the sky and crackled to display "Happy New Year".
She was highly delighted and I too,to watch her dance in happy showers. It was then that the doorbell rang. She went and opened her door to find none but a bouquet of flowers and a  small wrapped gift pack. She took them in and opened the gift. Later,I was deeply over-showered in her kisses,of course, over the phone. The gift was a precious diamond ring. When we were in the college,while we both went out on my bike on a ride,when stuck in a traffic jam,it was the one pointed by her,of TANISHQ brand,on a huge wall-over,a kinda  cut-out. I then wished her "Happy New Year"once again and told," May this new year bring great changes in our lives and bring us together". Talking to her,I told her," Why don't we meet the next month on the most special day of any true loving couple,the Valentine's Day". She actually wanted to,but considering all aspects,her new job and others,she said that it wasn't possible.I felt bad,but soon understood. As known,mutual understanding is the most important thing required in any relationship.


And as it usually does,days passed by and it was the Valentine's Day. I called her,talked to her and said that
I had a special poem for her as a voice message over Whats app. Hearing the sounds of horns and traffic around her,I asked her where she was. She said that she was going to office.  It was just 8am. She said it was because of the project work to be completed on time when asked. I then said bye and slid into sleep as I was tired. After an hour or so,I was awakened by the sound of my television whose remote was then nudged by me in sleep. It was the local news saying something about an accident that took place in the city. I was about to turn it off but was soon startled to hear the name of the victim Sweta. My eyes lost their dizziness. After I regained my senses totally,I found myself astounded. The news said, " Sweta,of age 23,working at Bangalore,came to Mumbai,an hour back,and coming from airport,suffered an accident,due to the crash of the car with the road-divider,as a cause of failure of breaks and high speed. Both the driver and the lady,died on the spot". I immediately found my phone ringing.

It was from the government hospital. They enquirer me,if I knew Sweta well and after all inquiries,they told me to come to the hospital to collect her body. I rushed there,only to find out that she is no more. My throat went dry,my hands shivered, and my eyes let out all my love for her in the form of tears,unending. All that happened there next was something unknown to me,for I was actually lost in her thoughts and what had happened.

Though she told me that we can't meet on that day,she applied for leave and came to Mumbai by the
morning flight to give me a surprise. And that morning when I was talking to her,she was in the car ,coming to
meet me. But she lied saying that she was going to office. Her parents came there. Furtherly proceeded the things that were to happen. Her parents were deeply engulfed into sorrow. They could barely speak,even I couldn't.That night,I went to my home. I found on my mobile," Voice message from Sweta over Whats app". I clicked on it. My poem went for her as,
                      "You Vampire,
                                   You are the hilarious heroin who hijacked my heartbeat
                                   You are the myriad morphine who manipulated my mind
                                   You are the catastrophic codeine who captured my soul
                                   You are the destructive drug who dissolved my dumb life
                                   So, at least for these reasons,won't leave you ever...
                                                                                                                                                                                   Your Devil"
Replying it,she said," In humor or in hyper,you always say that you love me and won't leave me ever.
I know and I realize. I love you too.. I love you so much. By the way,I have some surprise for you. You will be thrilled. You can never forget it. Bye."
                                    Ya,it was true. I can't ever forget it. Because I can't forget my life's reason and she was it. But,I pity myself since God didn't. I remember those words which I told her on the new year day," May this new year bring great changes in our lives". Yes,it brought so drastic a change that darkened my life. But,it is love,eternal and platonic.

It survives not in bodies,but in souls,which I feel never leaves me. It lives in me. Love, remains in memories, it remains in thoughts and yes,it remains forever. And it goes on....My Love...
