~Story of Regret~

« on: July 23, 2007, 12:57:58 PM »

Quote

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.

Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. So he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.

Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. Although the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. So he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. Since then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.

On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend. He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite, but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. It was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.

"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.

"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand. She continued,
"Why...? Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered, "No, there is no need for that anymore......"
Before he can continue, he was interrupted, "Oh yes! Must have found a girlfriend! You haven't been searching for one for the past years, right?" The man looked up, as if he has struck gold, his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl. He replied, "Yes......you are right! I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years."
With that, the man darted across the floor and out the door, leaving the lady in much bewilderment. He finally realized that he has already found his dream girl, and she was.....the Vancouver girl all along! The drunken lady has said something that awoken him.

All along he has found his girl. That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back. It was not any specific girl he was seeking! It was perfection that he wanted, and yes.....perfection!!
Relationship is something both parties should work on. Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life, he decided to call her immediately. His whole mind was flooded with fear. He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore..... For once, he felt the fear of losing someone.

As it was Christmas eve, the line was quite hard to get through, especially an overseas call. He tried again and again, never giving up. Finally, he got through......precisely at 1200 midnight. He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears. It seemed that she never got over him! Even after so long, she was still waiting for him, never giving up.

He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives. He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her. It was the happiest time of their lives! But their happy time was short-lived. Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver, he received a call from her father. She had a head-on car collision with a drunken driver. She passed away after 6 hours in a coma.
The guy was devastated, as it was a complete loss. Why did fate played such cruel games with him? He cursed the heaven for taking her away from him, denying even one last look at her! How cruel he cursed! How he damned the Gods...!! How he hated himself....for taking so long to realize his mistake!! That was in 1996.

The moral of this story is :
Treasure what you have...
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grief;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love...
Time is Eternity.

For all you out there with someone special in your heart, cherish that person, cherish every moment that you spend together that special someone, for in life, anything can happen anytime. You may painfully regret, only to realise that it is too late.

Hi all....

I invite all budding writers to post their short stories here so that we can make a Book of short stories here, I am a writer and I know that all budding writers want appreciation.....and I think this is the best place because in this family, all deserving people get their share of appreciation....even more than that......so people plz contribute......

To start with....I am posting a story...

*~The December Night~*

It was the Sleeper class compartment of the train.....I gave a frenzied look to an old man sitting next to me muttering "Dont know what" type of words. I was worrying because the train was already late by two hours and the watch was showing Ten over One in the night. The train was stopped to wait because the plateform was not empty. It might have been 1 or 2 kilometers from the station, i dont exactly remember because in winter, even small distance seems like the width of seven seas.

Two years, living away from home had developed a good amount of courage in me by those days, I made up my mind, took my luggage and got off the train. A little far from the railway track was a row of street bulbs which were dimmed by the thickness of the fog...but I could make out that it was a road that lead to the nearby bus-stand. I started towards the road on foot and the murmuring of the people behind me, first increased and then faded.

I was near to the road...corssing the small thorny bushes....few dirty water streams with only the help of my Mobile light....the road was in front of me. I stopped there for few minutes in hope of some Auto or a Rikshaw-puller, disappointed and started moving on. I knew it was worthless spending time there waiting for a rikshaw and thus kept on moving towards the Bus-stand.

Few metres to the destination....i was almost sweating inside because of the labour i did carrying my heavy luggage bag, inside my jacket, i could feel my undershirt was almost wet. I was thinking about reaching home and having a warm water shower when my thought process was inturrepted by few male voices coming from very near and i couldn't see them because of the fog. When I reached closer i saw, they were not men but teenagers who were saying something to a artificially jewelled lady and she was constantly tearing. On seeing me both the boys ran away. I stopped there for a fraction of moment there just as a curiosity began to raise in me by that time and to my surprise the lady who was tearing, wiped the tears and started following me. Though i was not afraid, but at that point of time I wasn't in a mood to get myself into an unwanted situation, I started pacing up.
"I have a place, Babuji" I heard and stopped.
"You dont need to take me anywhere babuji, I have a place" the lady was saying "I wont charge much and you can stay there for the night"
"Excuse-me" I said "I dont have time"
There was a mixture of urge and shrewedness in her voice, as if she was convinced that i was not going to get any conveyance and I will go with her and give her some money for making love with her. "What a shit!" I thought, I was never in favour of going to a Prostitute for quenching the sexual thirst, I had a girlfriend and was happy with her. "Why dont you mind your own business" I said and the very next second I realized that I said a very wrong thing to a prostitute, for what i got in return was "That's what I am doing, babooji, It is my business." She said with a cunning smile on her face though I could read the pain in her eyes.
In order to avoid the situation I was getting into, I told her that I could not go with her as I had to reach somewhere very soon.

"I will take only half an hour babooji" I was amazed on her insistance, and started moving on.
"I have two kids back home babuji, if i dont get a customer tonight, I will not be able to give them breakfast tomorrow" and this made me stop.
"If you want money, I can give you 100 Rs, but dont follow me" I offered her a 100 rupee note for nothing in return and she happily accepted it. "You are great babooji, there are very few men on earth like you now a days....." She was going on and on saying the words i was not interested in.
"Can I get an Auto-rikshaw to Engeneering college from here" I asked her without listening to what she was saying.
"If you go to the stand, you may not be able to arrange one for you, but I will call a rikshaw for you, I owe you a lot......" and she again started.
By the Time we reached to the Bus-stand, there was only one Auto and the driver was sleeping, the hours for the Bus services were already over so that was the last hope for me to get a conveyance.
This lady ran to the Auto and shaked the sleeping driver up, and then they started talking about me. I was standing a little away as asked by the lady so could not hear the whole conversation. The only thing that I could make out was the lady pleading the Auto-puller to drive me home, I heard her saying that I was a good man."
After much altercation, the Rickshaw-puller came to me and asked me to sit, I thanked the lady and sat in the Auto rickshaw, now I could see the satisfaction in her eyes. During the way I was thinking about her only, and I thought about the situation I fell into, I thought about the scene if I had to do what she was saying, I thought about her kids. I shook my head to come out of these thoughts and the time I reached home, i forgot what all happend with me that night because I was so tired and so longing to take a shower.
That night I dreamt of her coming to me and luring me, and then she turned to an angel with two small kids.

Release my body with your lips & Stir my soul with the heat of your kiss

Muhabbat K Aabshaar-e-Ghazal ki Yahaa Kamee Nahi, Bas Mere Hi Chaman Mei Phir Kyu Itni Maayusi Hai?
Dekha hai Maine Mubeen hote Har khwaab ko Yaha, Phir Meri hi Duniyaa Kyu Issey Mehruum Hai?
