After a very long thought She gathered up the courage to call Him. Its been many years since the last time they spoke. Yet today is important that she kept her self-respect aside and called him. Strangely she didn't even have his mobile number in her Contacts list. But once she thought about him it was matter of seconds before his number flashed in her mind.
" MEMORIES ARE STRONG " she sighed. She wondered if he still had her number.Preoccupied with so many thoughts she dialed his number. He picked up after 2 rings. The conversation was however quick, short and sharp.
HE :- "Hello ! "
SHE :- "Hi ! How are you? "
HE:- "Who are you?"
SHE:- "Heard your mother expired yesterday."
HE :- "TRUE. But who are you?"
SHE :- Sunny, this is Ishita.
HE :- WRONG NUMBER .
Within Seconds The Line Went Dead So Did Their Years of Friendship.
Years back She took the Number One spot in His Speed Dial list & now he called it WRONG NUMBER.
She poured herself a Hot cup of Coffee and Memories of their journey started a slide show.
They met through their mutual friends, became colleagues, then friends, turned out as Best Friends. Their relation was something that everyone around envied. The rapport they shared, the affection they had, the love that bloomed, the promises they made, the memories they built and the time they spent. Every little moment was special for them. Their relation became even more strong when they became part of each others family. Everyone else called them LOVERS but they knew they were BEST FRIENDS.
One day when His Mother suddenly fell sick and was admitted in ICU, he called her. Leaving her work and taking day off, She ran to the hospital to be by his side. That's when Ishita met Sunny's family. His father, his Sister were standing outside ICU while Sunny was talking to Doctors. At such times all that A person needs is a Shoulder to lean on, A hug of comfort and A hand to hold. She went to him and took his hand in hers. That very moment he held her hand with a very tight grip. She stood there next to him until he finished talking to the Doctors. After things cooled down, His Father and Sister went home on his insistence while they both stayed. She brought 2 cups of coffee and her heart sank when she saw him sitting on the floor outside ICU with almost no expressions on his face. Sitting next to him She placed her hands on his shoulder. The very next moment he grabbed her hand, hugged her and cried in silence. She never saw a man cry so much that her shoulders were drenched with his tears. Few minutes later , he calmed down.
He took her hands in his and said, " My mother is my world. I can't take it if something happens to her. I felt very weak and helpless before you came. The moment you held my hand I felt strong enough to stand because I had you to lean on. Promise me Ishita, Promise me that no matter wherever we are, no matter if we are together or not, Just promise me that you will be with me whenever something happens to my Mother. Promise me that you will still hold my hand and give me your shoulder to lean on. You are My strength in Times of Crisis. Promise Me." he spoke with shivering voice. She immediately said, "Yes, I promise. If not me then who else will be with you.?" She stayed with their family for the next one month and looked after his mother. And that is how she became a part of their family. Life was pretty picture from then on. His mother recovered quickly and their bond strengthened. Everything was sailing smooth until She got a New Job in another Company. Interactions and Outings with Sunny became less because of Time constraints. That is where all the trouble started brewing.
Sunny became insecure , possessive , aggressive and started suspecting her. They fought almost everyday because of this and at one point She couldnot take it anymore. Even after trying to mend things, it did not turn out well. Neither of them knew when and How their friendship ended but Both of them suffered in Silence.
LOSING A FRIEND HITS YOU HARD IN THE HEART. Years passed on and None of them cared to call the other. May be Ego, May be Self-Respect , May be they moved on or May be they want the other one to call first. This went on for a good 6 years Until the day she got a call from one of their Mutual friends who said that Sunny's mother passed away that day. And then memories came back crawling in fast motion. Along with the memories they built, She remembered the Promises they made.
Without a Second thought, she picked up her phone to call him. But wait, she doesn't have his number. As she closed her eyes with despair, his number started flashing in her mind. Yes, That is how relations are. You can Delete their number and erase their pics, but when you want to remember them they come out in fraction of seconds as if they were always there for you. She dialed his number and then the conversation that she will remember her entire life happened.The moment he said "WRONG NUMBER" the ground under her feet trembled. Slowly she shut down the memory box and came to her senses. Life goes on She whispered to herself.
Making Promises in Good times is One thing But Keeping them in Bad times is what matters.
The main Problem in relations is We all Take people for granted. We believe there is always a Next time. We think we live forever. We want People to wait as long as we won't get our Anger out of our hearts.
But Wait, WILL PEOPLE LAST THAT LONG???
EVERYTIME YOU MEET SOMEONE MIGHT BE YOUR LAST TIME WITH THEM.
EVERYTIME YOU TALK TO SOMEONE MIGHT BE THE LAST TIME YOU HEAR THEM.
Then why can't we make best of every moment ? In the Long run of life, many people will walk in and walk out. But if you lose the real ones to your anger and Pride, no matter who else is there with you, you are nothing more than a Living Corpse. Every relation deserves a Second chance But Be careful because not everyone gives you a second chance.
DO NOT LET RELATIONS DIE UNTIL & UNLESS ONE OF YOU DIE .
