"When Love Speaks" : My entry for the Get Published contest"
Idea Description
Sometimes it takes a second or
third or even many more sights to fall in love with each other. With Awani and
Sushant this thing proved completely true; from casual friendship to close
friends and when it turned into Love, they never knew.
A relationship that started from
the beautiful city of Udaipur ; reached to new
heights in Hyderabad and then Delhi
before it comes back to Udaipur .
Awani and Sushant were well-aware
of the fact that parents will not give their consent for this relationship.
Hence, they took decisions one after another, grabbed and left opportunities;
to gain time as much as they can. In this process, they both had to change the
directions of their lives and careers. Awani got a job in Hyderabad after her B.Tech
and Sushant also managed to get admission in an MBA course in Hyderabad, purpose
was to be with each other. However, it was just a beginning of a long struggle,
a roller costar ride of events and a crazy romance that grew mature and strong
with time. But one day the destiny turned its wheels to a different direction
which they never anticipated.
Two people who think that “When Love Speaks” nothing else does
matter.
What Makes It Real
This story is inspired by those friends of mine who had a
long time relationships, a few of them succeeded in taking it to the final
stage that is marriage, where as some others had to get separated due to
various issues.
Extract
Sitting on a bench at Fateh Sagar Lake (Udaipur ),
Awani was looking at the reflection of gleaming lights in the water. She
remembered that mesmerizing bike ride with Sushant at 4 am in the morning on
the empty roads of Hyderabad , around the Hussain Sagar Lake
Sushant was driving fast and she
spread her arms as if she wanted to embrace the whole world.
“I want to hold the wheel of time right here. I want to stop this moment
right here, forever...” she spoke while gazing at the lofty statue of
Buddha in the middle of the lake.
“Then hold it, but remember when the sun will rise, your moment will disappear,”
Sushant laughed in a careless manner.
The same day when she reached at
office, her boss called her to give her a news.
Awani’s somnolence got broken and
she saw Sushant sitting beside her.
“Do you remember how much you
loved to see the sunrise and sunsets at lakeside?”
“Yes, those were beautiful days”.
Awani’s thoughts again went few
days back in time...
“Annu, if I would have been aware
of all this ... this Infosys job of
yours, your civil service preparations... then I might have never allowed you
to go to Hyderabad or anywhere else”, her Father said.
