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…
What was it…
