I was not happy after coming back to London but I thought only few months left now, after that we would be together forever. Few days later, life was back on track. I used to stay busy in my job and she in her studies. I used to miss my college day very much.
Slowly the remaining 7 months had passed. This was the longest and most difficult year of my life. Now I can't live without her anymore. I called her and told her that I am coming to take you in a week. She was very happy to hear that. She said that I have even started packing. I had already taken the holidays from the job. After that the whole week we were not able talk and chat with each other because of some telecommunication issues in country. I thought it doesn't matter, now I'm just going to meet her after few days. I was planning to propose her for marriage. The day to meet her had come. I boarded the aircraft. Finally, after 9 hours of long flight my plane landed. Now I just wanted to see her quickly. I was going directly to her home from the airport. It was night already and the glowing street lights were showing me the way ahead. I was slowly walking on the footpath. It was a winter night so I wore a red colored thick scarf, a white shirt and black pant. And I was just keep thinking about her. There were so many gifts in my hands. I was very happy that soon our long wait was going to over. I arrived at her house. I saw her house was locked. I called her but it keep telling me that the phone is switched off. Then I called her friend. She told me that she had gone home a week ago because her father suddenly got a serious disease. She had called me many times but my phone was not reachable. At that moment, I was very scared. I was not with her when she needed me. Her phone was still switched off. I asked her neighbors, they told me that her family has left this house and gone somewhere else but they don't know where. I didn't know what I should do now. A month had passed, I tried a lot to contact her but still was not able to contact her. I could not find anything about her. I was very upset. After that I came back to London with my family. The person who used to eat with me, used to watch dramas with me, used to study with me, used to roam around with me and used to love me was not with me anymore. Whom I never wanted to lose, had gone far from me.
Present Day,
It was raining and I was standing in middle of the road next to my car. My face was towards the sky and eyes were closed. Was talking to myself. This rain is same as the first rain of that monsoon we spent together and you know tomorrow is a very special day for me because tomorrow is my award ceremony. And I want you to be there with me but I don't know where you are how you are and Even I don't know how to get these answers. Even so I am forgetting your face too. I am still counting the days. 367 days passed without your smile, your voice and your beautiful eyes.
The next day I got up very early in the morning. I was ready to attend the award ceremony. I came to the ceremony with my mom. then they announced my name. Everything became very slow. It happened after a long time. Slowly I was climbing stairs, I got a call. I ignored it. I picked up the award. I was giving the speech. Now I got a message. I don't know why but my heart was telling me to check that message now. I opened up that message. It was written that "Now you will not even get me from the airport". I was stunned. I didn't think much and just started running with the award. I came to the airport. I started finding her in the whole airport but I didn't see her. She called me and said "turn around". Quickly I turned around. I saw Myra was there in front of me…
"Love is not about kissing, hugging, holding hands, talking and chatting all day long,
Love is about taking care of your partner, to find shade in rain for her before
yourself, to cover her with your jacket in winter, to help her pick a book from a high shelf"
