SOULMATES
A LONELY SOUL ALWAYS WANT ITS SOULMATE, IT’S AFTER THAT A SOUL
FEEL ITS COMPLETENESS. OTHERWISE HOWMUCH ONE TRIED IN OUR LIFE, IN EVERY PASSING
MINUTE, WE CAN FIND THE INCOMPLETNESS.
I WAS A LONELY SOUL. I FELT THE SAME INCOMPLETNESS IN THESE YEARS IN MY
LIFE. I ALWAYS LAUGHED WITH MY FRIENDS, PLAYED PRANKS ON THEM. BUT THE LONELY
FEELING ALWAYS NAGGED BESIDE ME. EACH DAY, SUNRISE WITH A NEW HOPE, A HOPE TO
FIND THE COMPLETENESS IN MY LIFE. BUT IN THESE YEARS MY LIFE WAS ALWAYS SAME. HOPE
ALWAYS REMAINED TO ME AS A HOPE…., AND I HAD A LONELY SOUL WITH ME WHO LONGED
FOR THE COMPLETENESS IN EACH DAY OF MY LIFE.
A MISSED CALL
…, IT WAS A MISSED CALL THAT
BROUGHT HIS SOUND TO ME, A HEART WARMING
SOUND WHICH SOOTHES MY HEART .IT WAS THAT SOUND THAT MADE ME CONVERSE WITH HIM.HIS SOUND
CARRIED A PERSONALITY OF A SOULFUL MAN
WHO RESPECT OTHERS
FEELINGS, WHO IS A GREAT FRIEND ,WHO CARE ABOUT OTHERS THAN HIM, WHO
KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE , WHO KNOW HOW TO ENJOY LIFE, HOW TO GET
YOUR AIM. HIS VOICE HAS THE POWER TO
MAKE MY EYES TWINKLE LIKE A STAR AND CAN MAKE
ME SMILE LIKE A FOOL ALWAYS.
I DIDN’T PRETENDED TO BE HAPPY
NOWADAYS BECAUSE I WAS GENUINELY HAPPY LIKE…..I WAS COMPLETE. I WAS NOT IN THE
SOLITUDE…..I HAD HIM. THE COLOURS SEEMED MORE BRIGHTFUL TO ME……., DAYS SEEM MORE
BEAUTIFUL THAN THE DARKENED NIGHTS. HE
MADE ME TO SEE THE
LIFE IN A DIFFERENT POINT OF
VIEW, HE MADE ME TO SEE THE WORLD
WITH MY OWN CAPABILITY…,
MADE MY AIM MY LOVE….FOR ME HE BECOME
THE SOULFUL BREEZE WHICH CAN SPREAD
HIS ESSENCE AROUND ME.
HE
MADE ME FEEL DIFFERENT ….. , MADE ME FEEL BEYOND FEELINGS…..MADE ME TO SEE THE REALITY
BEYOND THE DREAMS. I KNOW I AM FALLING FOR HIM……HIS VOICE….IT MADE ME COMPLETE.
I KNOW, NOW THAT HE IS MY SOUL MATE, HE IS THE ONE WHICH I WAS SEEKING THESE
YEARS “THE TEAR DROP THAT LIGHTENS AWAY, ALL THE BURDEN OF A MOURNING, LONELY
DESPAIRED SOUL.”
I WAS VERY EAGER TO SEE HIM.WHEN I ASKED ABOUT IT.., HE ALWAYS BRUSHED
IT OFF SAYING THAT “IN LIFE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE MYSTERIOUS TOO
..,WHICH CAN MAKE A SMALL DIFFERENCE IN
SOMEONES LIFE” BUT I WANT TO SEE HIM. I WANT TO THANK HIM TO MAKE ME SEE
MY LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY, TO MAKE ME GENUINELY HAPPY .TO HELP ME TO ESCAPE
FROM THE SOLITUDE,..TO MAKE ME TO SEE THAT THE AIM IS MY LOVE IN MY LIFE AND
MOST IMPORTAND THING I WANT TO SAY HIM THAT “I LOVED HIM WITH MY HEART AND SOUL
…”
I KNOW THE WAY TO HIS HOUSE,I AM INFRONT OF IT,BUT WHAT…WHY THERE IS A CROWD…?WHY PEOPLE ARE
LOOKING MOURNFUL….A FEAR CLENCHED MY HEART, EACH FOOTSTEP FELT HEAVY TO ME…ALL
PEOPLE LOOKED AT ME SYMPETHETICALLY… ARE THEY?
I STEPPED IN TO THE HOUSE…I ASKED TO A BOY IN THE DOOR WHICH HAS BLANK EYES
LOOKING OUT.
“SIDHANTH…?” HE LOOKED AT ME
…..WITH AN EYES OF GRATITUDE. HE LOOKED
INSIDE THERE WAS HE, WRAPPED AS WHITE BUNDLE OF SHEATH, SLEEPING PEACEFULLY.
I SAW HIM, MY LOVE …………BUT WHY HE IS NOT LOOKING AT ME? WHY HE IS NOT CALLING ME? I AM HERE IN HIS HOUSE FOR FIRST TIME...WHY
HE IS NOT WELCOMING ME ….WITH THAT SMILE WHICH FLUTTERS MY HEART ….? WHY HE IS SLEEPING IN THIS TIME …? WHY IS
NOT OPENING HIS EYES…? I FELT THAT THE EARTH IS SLIPPING BENEATH MY FEET, I
SWAYED IN THE AIR, THE BOY NEAR CAUGHT ME. I SLIDE IN TO THE FLOOR. WHY MY EYES
ARE BURNING…? I TOUCHED MY CHEEKS. TEARS ….? IS
IT BECAUSE OF THE HAPPINESS THAT ATLAST I FOUND HIM OR IS IT BECAUSE OF THE
DESPONDENT THAT HE IS NOT WELCOMING ME…..?
I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I SAT DOWN, LOOKING AT HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE,
WHICH IS CALM AND SERENE. I DON’T KNOW WHEN HIS BODY WAS TAKEN FOR THE RITUALS.
I WAS IN THE FLOOR SITTING; LOOKING AT
THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS…SOMEBODY TOUCHED ME. I LOOKED ABOVE IT WAS THE BOY WITH
BLANK EYES LOOKING AT ME, HE HELPED ME UP AND MADE ME SIT IN A ROOM…IT WAS HIS
ROOM. WITHOUT HIS MASTER, I FELT THE ROOM IS WELCOMING ME WARMLY AND FRIENDLY.
“YOU ARE BHAIYYA’ S FRIEND…..HE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT YOU IN THESE THREE
MONTHS…” I WAS LOOKING AT THE
SMILLING PHOTO OF SIDHANTH. “BHAIYYA
WAS AFFECTED BY BLOOD CANCER, WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED …, IT WAS LATE…THERE WAS
NOTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP HIM. DOCTORS SAID THAT HE CAN LIVE TWO MONTHS
MORE...BUT, DIDI….” I LOOKED AT HIM, HIS EYES HAD THE SAME
GRATITUDE, AND I SAW WHEN I CAME HERE. HE CONTINUED… “IT WAS YOU….DIDI….THAT MADE HIM LIVE THESE
THREE MONTHS. I SAW HIM HAPPY DIDI…VERY HAPPY...HE WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON
TALKING WITH YOU”
“YOU MADE HIM HAPPY DIDI………….” HE HUGGED ME. I WAS DEVOID OF ANY
EMOTIONS.I DIDN’T FEEL ANYTHING. HE WIPED HIS TEARS AND SAID “BHAIYYA
HAS LEFT A LETTER FOR YOU DI….AND
HE ALSO SAID THAT THERE WILL BE A GIRL COMING TO SEE HIM, HE WAS SO SURE
OF IT DI. THAT’S WHY WE WAITED FOR YOU……” HE WENT TO THE CUPBOARD AND GAVE ME
THE LETTER WHICH IS FOLDED BEAUTIFULLY…..I OPENED IT.
“DON’T KNOW HOW
TO GREET YOU…… WORDS ARE HARD TO SAY TO YOU. IT’S YOU…..THE CURIOSITY TO KNOW
YOU WHICH GAVE ME SOME MORE DAYS TO LIVE. TALKING TO YOU WAS, TALKING TO YOUR
SOUL …MY SOUL AND I DON’T KNOW WHEN I STARTED TO LOVE YOU. I KNOW I SHOULDN’T
.BUT MY SOUL FELT THE COMPLETENESS WHEN I TALK WITH YOU. IT WAS YOUR VOICE. THE
SWEETNESS OF YOUR VOICE WHICH IS MY LIFE…..HEY, DON’T CRY, I KNOW WHAT YPU FEEL
FOR ME. IT’S THAT THE FATE DIDN’T APPROVE IT. BUT IAM HAPPY AND CONTENT.BECAUSE
I HAVE FOUND MY SOULMATE. I KNOW ALL THE PEOPLE DIDN’T HAVE THE LUCK TO FIND
THEIR SOULMATE... LOOK IAM LUCKY HERE...I HAVE FOUND YOU. DON’T EVER THINK THAT IAM FAR AWAY FROM YOU…I AM
WITH YOU IN EVERY VOICE YOU HEARS…IAM THE SOUND….AND I CANT GO AWAY FROM
YOU…….”
LONG AGO SOMEBODY HAS SAID THAT “TEARS AND SMILE ARE THE BEST COUPLE.
THEY RARELY MEET …BUT WHEN THEY MEET …, THE MOMENT IS GOEGEOUS.” I HAVE THIS
GORGEOUS MOMENT IN MY LIFE NOW. HE LOVED ME AS I LOVED HIM……AND I HAVE FOUND MY
SOULMATE IN MY LIFE…HE HAS SAID EVERY THING I WANT TO SAY TO HIM…….HE HAS
POURED MY FEELING FOR HIM ….I HUGGED HIS LITTLE BROTHER AND ASKED
“CAN YOU MAINTAIN THIS ROOM FOR ME,CHOTTU ? HE NODDED.
“WHEN I NEED HIS PRESENCE IN MY LIFE, I WILL COME HERE …”
I WAS WALKING BACK...OUT FROM HIS HOUSE. IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT IAM
EMPTY.., I HAD SIDHANTH’S LOVE WITH ME, HIS LETTER AND HIS VOICE THAT EMBRACE
ME ALWAYS. HE TAUGHT SO MANY THINGS IN LIFE AND I WILL BE HIS AS HE WANTS. I
CAN HEAR HIM IN EACH VOICE, EVEN IN THE RUSTLING OF WIND …, SAYING THAT HE
LOVES ME………..
ALL LOVE STORIES END WITH THE JOINING OF TWO PEOPLE BUT MY LOVE
STORY …, IT HAS ENDED WITH THE JOINING OF TWO SOULS, SOULMATES. THE LOVE HAS
NOT ENDED HERE; IT’ S AN ETERNAL
FEELING BEYOND LIFE. I CAN SAY ONLY THIS…”TRUE LOVE EXISTS. ITS STRENGTH...IT
IS MAGNIFICIENT.
