As the title suggests I'm sure many of you would have got a slight clue of where exactly my thoughts are pondering.
Here is a story. about a guy.. who once ran so fast that he left behind every one who loved him and cared for him. He ran so far that he ran ahead of him, he couldnt see him self run. The back of his shirt wet with sweat.. fluttering.. in the wind..was it worth running after that distant dream leaving everything that made him smile behind???
He lay down on his couch after a long hectic day of work and for once he decided to sit, relax and ponder over his past. While sipping a glass of whisky his thoughts flashed back to his college days.
Jack: Amber its high time I pull up my socks and start working hard to excel in college.
Amber: Happy Realisation!!!
Jack: No seriously this term I gotta prove myself worth to all those who think ill of me .
Amber: Sure jack Go Ahead!! Im always there for you.
Well it all started with this conversation. She was his life and his future wife. He decided to gear up in order to provide a happy and secure future for her. It was a year and few months that they had been dating and were happy and committed to each other. He could do anything for her.
The term began and there he was stressing himself with all the work pressure but he never gave up and just worked as hard as possible.
Day 1
Amber: Hey Jack r u free? Can v hang out 4 sometime?
Jack: Umm..ok but onli 4 sometime.
Day 2
Amber: R u free?
Jack: not really gme sometime ill get back 2 u asap ( tht asap never came)
Day3
Amber: *sigh* r u free?
Jack: No baby,I have loads of work.
Weeks passed by and the response Amber got everyday eventually frustrated her and tested her patience. Where was all the attention and the pampering she used to get from him, where was all the love that they had once shared, was it all disappearing??? Random thoughts ran in her mind day and night but she still kept her calm.
Term after Term ended and finally the big day came. The Graduation Day!!!
He graduated, She graduated!
Both wave good bye to each other making all the promises to stay in touch through regular mails or online conversations and frequent visits to each other.
Amber hopes that atleast now he would realise that life is not always about work and hopes that he would perhaps realise her existence.
But, alas she was right! Things didnt really change infact it became worse.
Amber ( calls from Cananda to US)- Hey Baby, how r u its been long since we spoke...didnt receive any call frm u either!!!
Jack: Sorry baby im caught up with work and I dnt really get the time for anything...sorry honey gtgo..have loads of work piled up..love u..."BEEP" "BEEP" "BEEP"!!!
After few weeks...
Amber: Hey Jack r u cmn 2 Canada to meet me in the near future?
Jack: Sorry Sweety wont be possible for another year now i have a lot of upcoming projects to deal with but dont worry will try to make it ASAP!!!!!!!!!! Bye sweety Love you..."BEEP"
"BEEP" "BEEP"
She sits staring at the phone... where is this heading? what is happening? Is this really him? Was this the guy who she really fell in love with???
Dad: Amber its high time you get married. I know a guy well settled in Canada who i'm sure would keep you happy and satisfied.
Amber: (thinks) and....... finally agrees!!!!!!!!!!
Amber calls jack but he doesnt answer the phone!!! Days and days pass by and the wedding day arrives. She gets married!!!
Jack: Amber where have u been all this while??? I've been trying to contact you since ages.Im planning to come to Canada!! Baby i missed u loads
Amber: its too late Jack!!
Jack: What do you mean?
Amber: Im married...I waited too long!!!
"BEEP" "BEEP "BEEP"
His drink is over .. tears flow like river... not only did he lose HER but all those who he once considered as a part of his life...his friends, his family...He was ALONE!!! Questions ran in his mind...Did he really deserve this? Where did he go wrong? Cant He get her back? Shit he missed Her!!

At times you fail to realise the importance of who are close to you cos you have taken them for granted but WAIT and THINK before its too late...do they really deserve it...instead of they understanding you and co-operating with you try to understand them for once. Maybe all they need is just pure love, affection,attention and just sometime time to spend with you...Are they really asking for too much????
