Turbulance of Heart- End

Continued from Turbulence of Heart

Dear diary…

Things seem changing again…I am back in Chennai….feeling and remembering my memories which I left it here untwined. Walking along my memory lane I see half of my life spent in marina beach…bargaining with the auto driver…eating dosas and idlis…waiting for my bus….getting wet in the rain…bunking class and going to movies….and finally all the cherished yet bitter sweet memories of Karthik.

Getting married next week and not seen the guy even once tickles me a bit, but on the other hand I trust my parent’s choice.

I have heard his voice though, he called today….strong, deep and manly, his voice echoed on the phone as I picked up and said hello…before he could ask me anything I abruptly gave it to my dad.

Lost in the things going around me, I went into my room and opened my cupboard which I haven’t unlocked since the day I left. My old toys…all the greeting cards which I got since my 4th birthday till now…my school uniform….everything lay their neatly organized. I don’t remember arranging them…must be my grandmother. My eyes caught a cream color envelope unopened. Trying to recollect my thoughts of what it was….I took it in my hand….felt heavy. Opened it slowly not to disturb anything inside it…and found 6 letters .

Opened the one which was on the top...

Dear shwetha…

Remember the day when I first saw you, college annual day...remember the second day when you were waiting for the bus and the third day when you were sitting alone in the bench across the fountain. I can keep on going like this until the day u left to Australia. I tried to talk to you so many times..but I really wasn’t sure how you would take that. I followed you everywhere you went just to get a glimpse of your beautiful eyes which drives me crazy every time I look into them. my day won’t be complete without seeing you. I dropped a chain for you on my way to class, which I wanted to give you in person but never got the right time. All these letters are my thoughts …gone waste without giving it to you. The day you left to Australia I rushed to the airport only to find that you have gone very far from me. Physically far but mentally still close to me. I just wanted to tell you that..you are and will always be remembered and i will be waiting for you .

Your Karthik

Tears were making the letter soggy and wet. Unable to control my tears I flooded outside of my room to inform about Karthik to my parents. But the happiness and satisfaction in my parents face made me stop.

Certain things in life can be sacrificed for the happiness of your loved ones. Making up my mind I sat near my grandmother slowly pacing my head on her shoulders. She picked up one invitation from the pile and handed it to me.

A broad smile broke on my face as it read….Swetha Weds Karthik. Awakened and agitated I looked my grandmother…she gave me the most accomplished smile.

Was really tempting to give a sad ending…but due to public pressure…finished it in a good note…..adutha post…ponnarasi oda Tag(atha maraka mattain ;) )....apparam pasangala...naan than first..naan thaan second n sandai pottukama comments poddanum...:D..
