What was it...

His parents were sleeping. They had full trust on their son’s driving skills. He was always proud when he saw the love that his parents shared. The way his mom took care of his dad was something that he had always wished to have in his life… But things didn’t work the way he want. He was off such thoughts by now. The only concern for him today was his parents and anything for his parents’ happiness. Today, as he drove them to this temple, far away from their home, he was actually fulfilling his parents wish to visit the place with him…After all, they believed he was a gift for them from god after their prayers to the almighty there…

 

Such trips are not new for him… He had done many long trips with them and without them…Long drives were always his passion. He loved seeing new places, facing adventures and above everything it was his way of living life away from stress and problems…He found relief in those journeys…After all, he had faced some real bad days…his trust was broken…his belief was shaken…his love had changed to hatred at many points…He tried finding solace through various ways. But…did he? Did he ever find what he wanted?

 

But, today…it was different…As he drove past the green lush….as he witnessed the mountains…as he waited at traffic blocks… His mind was wandering…his thoughts were weaving something that he had very tactfully kept away from…he was feeling empty…off was the negativities that dictated him…He realised, that he was doing something, that he never wanted to….He was hoping…wishing…expecting…and above all was yearning. But…

 

What was it…

 

Far Away….across the oceans…

 

Daily chores…the routines were always mechanised… the things to do had no difference…every single day was as equal as the other… she knew, what would happen every next minute…The only difference was the work related surprises that may or may not come. Else even work was monotonous for her… She religiously woke every morning and made her presence available at her desk and completed every day…She smiled, joked, worked and did her level best to keep others happy around her…

 

The routine was not new to her…She had been doing this for years now… Work was her necessity. She wouldn’t sacrifice her work for anything in the world… Attending every single job that was she was entitled with…every single responsibility…be it at work or home… She took it to herself to make sure that everybody is happy and she shouldn’t be the reason to hurt anybody…Afterall, she had some real bad days… her trust was broken…her belief was shaken…her sacrifices only took away her happiness and she had forgotten to love…She tried finding solace through various ways. But…did she? Did she ever find what she wanted?

 

But today…it was different…As she woke up to another day …As she drove past the concrete jungle…as she pushed herself through the long traffic blocks… her mind was not the same as it was the day before…She knew there was nothing new to see or expect…Yet her thoughts were weaving a new web…she suddenly felt eased out…she was empty…off all the negativities… She was worried, as she realised that she was getting into something that she never wanted to…She started hoping…wishing…expecting…and above all she was yearning. But…
