Well,
it's been quite sometime since I have written anything for myself. I
never wanted to share this with anybody at all but, there is a dire need
that we all read through this piece of write-up. I would not be
writing this had I gotten into that car that day…. He saved me and
I dedicate this piece to that unknown friendly neighbor of mine….
There
has been a lot of confusions running in my head for a couple of
months and I have been fighting against it all by myself. Sometimes,
I have had my dear ones bear the brunt of my actions as well.
I
left everything behind and decided to meet that person who had
created this beautiful piece of garnished shit for me and had left
happily; my flight landed at the airport; my co-passenger almost
pounced on me to get off. I was really annoyed by the act and fumed
at him, he just smiled at me and said; you have no clue – I am
going to meet a friend of mine who I had “STOPPED” talking to,
for almost a “DECADE” now.
You
don't know, how I feel, his voice faded as he walked out with a broad
smile wishing everyone a happy day and disappeared, I had no time to
listen to his crap and everything I had on my mind was, “GET MY
ANSWERS”.
I
went to hire a cab and unfortunately, it was a long queue and I again
bumped into this friendly neighbor of mine who looked at me with the
same smile. Even without a second thought, he said; “Hey, you look
upset; but trust me, “EVERYTHING SHALL PASS BY” and you don't
know how am I feeling”. I did not want to know his feelings but
still, he wouldn't stop at that. He again repeated those lines. I had
a great misunderstanding with a friend of mine for a decade now, and
today I am here to meet him all the way from Atlanta.
I
nodded at him with disinterest, while he continued to narrate his
story. He was my friend from college days and I don't know, just
because of some ambiguity in communication, we had to turn away from
each other and by now, he had caught my attention; because our
situations was almost the same. I nodded looking at him and he said,
The circumstances then, looked really huge, but today when I look
back at it, I feel that I had missed such a wonderful conversation
with this buddy of mine for so long, you know; I was so immature then
said he, smilingly.
My
taxi arrived and by the time I got into it, he just pushed me away
and hopped into it thanking me away smiling and said, You will surely
remember me, won't you? I also smiled at him and got into another
taxi and started off. The roads were pretty clear that day and after
15 minutes of our drive, my car driver braked suddenly. In front of
me, stood a huge truck and beneath that lay a car with two people
hanging on either sides of the window with a lot of people
surrounding them.
I
walked out of the car and to my horror, the friendly neighbor who I
had spoken to just about 15 mins ago lay dead, his friend standing
beside him whining for the departed soul. I almost collapsed looking
at the bloody bodies, his head was crushed and the driver's hands
were stuck to the tyres of the truck. I almost puked. I called the
driver and asked him to drop me back at the airport.
This
incidence taught me the most important things in life..
There
are good and bad days in life, LIFE IS TO LIVE NOT A BAGGAGE OF
SECRETS, we do not need one.
Do not let a few misunderstandings take a toll on your FRIENDSHIP.
Everything
here is replaceable – EXCEPT FOR THE LIVES LOST, SOULS DEPARTED….
LIFE
IS TOO SHORT FOR ANGER , REVENGE ANALYSIS AND EGO, it is all about
FORGIVING AND FORGETTING.
I
just decided to leave that place without any answers, I had got an
answer, “HE EMBRACED DEATH, which was written for ME” he saved
me and with this I understood, LIFE GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE.
