Terrible things have happened, unwanted things done and life mysteriously has made it a custom to take forth the flesh left inside. That somehow describes the gentleman who crossed his life ones but never came back. He, as pointed by many, is a unique creature who has the potential of making it big. The story of a kid who was different from the lot yet so much loved by all.
It all started as a bunch of 9 with each of
them ready to break the shackles of a made up teenage hoodoo! It took time but
soon they gelled up well to mix and match their comfort zone into one. Their
Guru knowing it all but ignoring it with a sense of acceptance. Days went by
and couple of them made the most out of it and delved up their commonness
rather than dwelling on the differences. Without much of a surprise, days
became months and month became a year when the two became one renouncing the
first barrier of being together. The kid had found the meaning of his
existence. What they had was beautiful and the 9 rejoiced the same with the
bonding becoming stronger in lieu of nothing.
Every start has it’s end and so
did the merry couple of years, and they all bid away with a promise to stay in
touch. Young minds, what would they know of the cruelty that lay ahead? As a
mere result, the strings had loosened and kicked off a new chapter for each one
of them. Each one had started walking their ways and so did the two until a day
came when one of them broke the chain that tied them.
The kid wasn’t ready, wasn’t
prepared and took up nothing but acceptance, blaming himself as the sole
creator of his fate. The going got tougher but he never questioned. He stood up
and walked aimlessly in search of solace. The more he hunted the more he would
dive into darkness and started repeating his mistakes. With none to look up to,
it was a thorny path and he ended up losing his way into a maze that could
place him at the same point whenever he would start believing that he had found
a way.
A change in habitat with a new
set of goals brought him to a new road. A journey that would transform him into
a young man who could achieve anything that one can desire. Life became
interesting and 24 hours seemingly became less. He was up for the challenge and
the crowd was ready to appreciate. The world had taken a u-turn for him and he
couldn’t think of anything but winning. Dreams were no more illusions but a set
of alphabets that could be formed any day. He was doing it all and all by
himself.
The world would envy to what he
had and what he got. He himself rejoiced about this transformation. He was
indeed the same kid who lost half a decade back. The world was aware of this
and so was he.
But the world wasn’t aware of one
little thing. He was still searching! He still didn’t have something! Something,
that was so precious to him that this glory was worthless to him. Something, he
had lost half a decade back! Something, he knows will never be his although
their ways have started to merge. They know it now and he has a promise to keep
which he is unsure of keeping! Love as they call it had taken them back once.
They still lie at the same spot after so many years, yet so far. The kid still
hopes for the best which he has done for most of his life. With little
surprises, another Christmas passes and he calls for the same gift yet again to
find solace among every gold that he possesses. With years, for he has got the
true meaning, all that glitters are not gold!
