“Maya get up you are getting late for your work”, I hear my mom shouting from the kitchen .
I am Maya, 29 yrs old and working in a Multi- National Company I have a huge bungalow, servants, A.C ,fully furnished home my sweet home and yes i am single,but I have a cute son .I get ready fast .and then I go out of my house when i see the nameplate outside our bungalow , I have tears in my eyes.but i control and I hurry to Bandra station I travel by train to reach my office people ask me questions for not buying a vehicle for myself but I have my sweet memories connected to this train. I finish my work by 7 and reach my home by 8 pm, I finish my dinner help my son do his homework and go to my room. its raining outside, I feel some pain inside my heart I remember something from my past. I open my bureau which is always locked and take a photo album. I see a handsome man laughing and staring at me then I take one cardboard box out where there are a bunch of letters. I read them I have tears in my eyes then I go to my past ,
It was 8 am and I hurry towards Bandra station I board my train the train is too crowded I stand in the crowd and then some guys came beside me and started teasing me and making me uncomfortable no one cared about what was happening.
then one guy came and hugged me suddenly saying “I missed you yaar why did you go away my wife forgive me”, seeing that the guys left I recognized that he travels with me everyday, but i ignored him in the past, now after his favor i thought of introducing myself and i introduced myself as Maya.
He said his name is Prithvi, and that he was working for a software company. He was one year elder to me. then I say thanks to him and I get down at my stop I found out that he will be getting down after 2 stops from mine.we met daily in the station and talked till the time i got down . sometimes when i was late , there wouldn’t be any seats and we would be talking by passing chits and people (old-aged ones)would stare at us.we exchanged our numbers and met outside other than our train rides .
one day after our dinner date it was too late and it was was raining .he proposed me by giving a diamond ring and red roses.i didn’t accept it as soon as he proposed . i said i needed some time .he respected my decision . I gave out my reason also that , first, i had to support my family .
one day i received a check which was signed by him and a letter saying that it was not a favor but his responsibility to support his future wife in her decision.then came my birthday which was after having my promotions and a high salary .i accepted his proposal and he was mad with joy and happiness . we convinced each other families for marriage . my mom already knew about our relationship, so it was not that hard then our marriage day came,but, he refused to marry me. we were all shocked .
I was shocked.i felt dizzy . I couldn’t speak. I regained myself and asked him the reason but he ignored he left from the venue,and later texted me that he was in love with some other girl,. and the truth broke my heart .I went and locked myself in my room.
It has been 10 days since that wedding night he didn’t call or text me asking me for forgivance .I was broken but I managed to go to work one month passed then I got calls from my Prithvi’s mom, asking for forgivance for the foolishness he had committed leaving me . she called me many times in the past and now after one month , she calls me again but this time she was weeping on the phone she cut the call .i couldn’t understand what was wrong with her. I was also feeling tensed and lost since a week .then I got a parcel in my name their was a bunch of letters in that which was from my Prithvi I opened the first letter which read like this .
My dear sweetheart,
I should really blame you for doing this to me .from the first time i saw you . I am really sorry that I went off from your life without considering with you.i knew it would hurt you more than anything., but fate compelled me to take that decision.i didn’t have a say in it. at any point of time , given a choice, i would only choose to live with you. I want to tell you something .
the first day i saw you , you were wearing a red sari .you had in fact missed the train , but you tried to catch up .your hair was wet which had a sweet blissful fragrance.you were talking on the phone with your mom and cradling your phone on your shoulders and on top of it ,you were having a cup of tea.you got a seat but then you saw a blind old man and you gave your seat to him.i was moved by that gesture of yours.you were too sweet, may be more than the sugar in the tea you were sipping so beautifully, parting your rose-red lips in a Bollywood style.
that was the time i got out of my seat and offered it to you.you didn’t notice me,i felt sad and dejected.. but the way you said thanks , your voice mesmerized me and i forgot that i was feeling dejected just a moment ago.i could hear some romantic songs playing in my heart ….and from the next day i was following you .. in fact , i was addicted to you .. on that day, after our new blossomed friendship i felt like i was on top of the world and then when you gave me your number it was my dream come true .
It was my best day when you accepted my marriage proposal.And from that day, I , was planning for a future with you and our kids i a sweet bungalow., decorated with our love, trust and happiness. one day when you had your office trip i got admitted in hospital due to several pains in my body,and then i got to know this bitter reality, I cursed god for taking me away from you.
And then I realized that I was the one who came into your life without your consideration .i wondered why i fell in love with you…… of all the people in this India of thriving population , my heart had place only for you…. i have no idea what i would have done , had you rejected my proposal instead of asking for time….but by doing that, i found out the trust you had in me and i knew for sure that you really liked me and i felt that i had got a cent um for mathematics or more happier than that all i wished was to be with you…
I wanted to see you in that bridal outfit,and marry you with grand celebrations,and when you wake up in the morning i wanted to kiss and wish you good morning . I just wanted to appreciate your cooking when you cooked something special .I wished to smell that fragrance of your hair, after you bathe,,..i just wished to be with you when you wee watching gajni and in the climax when the villain is beating Aamir khan and when you realize that Aamir khan is in pain , i wanted to wipe your tears .
I waned to hold you close every time you felt cold and i wanted to taunt you everyday about your weight, just to see your face turning red and yourself fuming in anger . i just wanted to feel the kisses you gave me on cheek wishing me goodnight under the blanket of stars and moon.i just wanted to see your belly growing in due course as you approach your 9th month ….i wanted to talk to my kids ..and help you in finishing their homework…and take their side whenever you fume in anger just because of their petty mischiefs.
I just wished to be with you and have the worlds best time with you and that dream got true.i wanted to spend the full life with ,raise our kids and be with you till we ge old and have wrinkles on our faces because even in ha old age instead of walking stick i wanted to take your support But, I couldn’t be with you for a longer time . I didn’t tell you but i loved you a lot.Remember , you used to tease me that i was such an unromantic person. For that comment , I , have a gift for you . , a bungalow in our name Mr. & Mrs .Sanyal.
I always wished that you would roam around my house and make my house a heaven with love .Now, without me , i , want you to be in the house and do the same thing . please make my wish come true. Just think of me everyday. And I will be there with you . I just gathered some courage and wrote to you about my cancer because i never wanted you to know. But later i thought that you have a right to know everything about me .
So, till that time you get this letter , I , might not be there . But, when you read this letter and have tears in your eyes , I , would be there to kiss you and hug you . I hope you can feel my love . Just think about me and feel my love for some time in your day .I will be happy that I have dated and loved the most craziest,sexy and lovable girl.and yeah you are not fat. I was just teasing you ,everyday. Thanks for loving me this much. Forget me not ….my pagli….
yours only Mr.perfect
pagla………….(in your love).
After reading this letter , I , was totally broken . I blamed myself for not trusting him. I remembered the time he held my hand and proposed to me . I remembered the time when we were dancing like little kids in the rain. I remembered the time when he jumped in through my window to see me , while I was sleeping . I remembered the time when we went for a short trip with our families, and then we crept out and had our first intimate kiss.And then finally I remembered the time when we went to temple together.and he promised me that he would always be there with me, forever……..
I just wanted to hide myself , crawl into a cocoon and never come back from there . I couldn’t live without him and he had taken a promise from me that i should live in his bungalow. I couldn’t convince myself to live without him , but, later his words mesmerized me .I got up to start a new life with my Prithvi , in his house and then in his name I adopted a baby boy to see him grow as his shadow. and be like my Prithvi to other girl.
I hope my Prithvi is smiling , seeing me from heaven. and he would bless this prithvi. Now, I see with pride towards almighty asking him the question ” See , I , am living my life without my Prithvi and I am still happy.”
And that particular night when I adopted that baby boy I had a dream with my Prithvi, ..we all living a life happily ever after and that was a day i again fell in love with my Prithvi, for keeping his promise and making me a mother and introducing me to a new parenting world.
