What I should wear today, there are plenty of options for me. What color I have to pick. “Varathu get me a coffee! Hmmmm!!! pick the brown LP dress and Nike shoes and keep it ready”. “Also Varathu get me bread and butter with omelet for breakfast.” I ordered and went to take a shower. When I came out of shower Varathu kept everything ready perfectly. He is the man and a perfect servant. Wow he makes very good omelet. The taste lost long in my tongue.
I grabbed my college bag and asked Ramesh to drive the brown car. When I travel in car Ramesh puts the perfect song. The Nissan Terrano has good JBL’s. Every piece of music is heard. I took my iPhone and tweeted that I am happy and I have no worries! That was the final tweet before my life took a steep curve. Ramesh applied break and I was surprised. There is some accident and people were moving randomly and ours is the only car, near the spot.
One guy knocked the window glass of the car and asked us to help to reach the nearest hospital. I said ok and they grabbed a girl and put her in the back seat. She lost lots of blood. I am scared of blood and I got puking sensation and there was a foul odor. Suddenly there was another girl who hoped in and asked driver to go fast. We phoned Ambulance and they asked plenty of questions, we might lose Anjali! Please Anna! go Fast!
Ramesh looked at me and I gave green signal. I never knew Ramesh can drive like that, wow! less than 10 mins we reached the hospital. I helped ladies for all hospital procedure and I gave some cash. I hate all the hospital smell and I am no more in happy mood. I asked Ramesh to go back to home. Ramesh asked Sir college! No not in the mood.
After going to Home I was restless, the blood face killed my happiness and my mind started to give me some weird thoughts. My parents are living in Dubai and they come once in a year! I like India and I wanted to stay here to complete my studies. Once that is over, it is obvious that I will take in-charge my father’s company. I hate that, I love music and I wanted to start a sound production company. I am studying Physics and I love. I hate all the suit and tie!
Having this ambition my mind is swirling with Anjali! That is very odd! I changed my clothes and asked Ramesh to go to hospital and asked to take the white car, this time it is Volvo! Ramesh is a master driver, you can drive cars as breeze. For the first time, I turned on Radio, som RJ gave a traffic update and started with a good song! We reached hospital and I asked about Anjali.
She was there lying with all equipment attached to her body. I checked with her friend and she said, we went for our music class and while going back to home. We met with this accident. Doctor said she is out of danger. I asked about her family. She said that she grew up in an orphanage and she has only me. She is very fond of driving and she enjoys going fast, and lost control and finally met with this accident. She thanked for the money and said “I will soon repay it.” No problem, I will take care of her full medical expense.
She is an orphan and I am too in a way. My parents are there and I hardly see them. Days passed by and I again visited her. Now the medicine fumes are pleasant and I like it a lot. As soon I entered her room, she stood up and thanked me. I saw a pleasant and lovable face. Even though she was wrapped in hospital dress and she looked pretty.
Our friendship slowly moved from one level to another. I took her to my villa and she was amazed to see my villa and she leaned in the beam bag and said “Don’t you think it is too expense for single person living”. I was touched by her thoughts and flood of swirling questions came to my mind. My face became very serious and she easily identified that.
She asked plenty of sorry for hurting my feelings. I said it is totally normal. I took her back to the orphanage and traveled back to my villa. A melody song was playing and my heart became very heavy. After reaching villa I dropped an email to mom and dad saying that I am moving to new place. And send money as usual.
I moved to an PG with limited facility. It was bit difficult to send Varathu and Ramesh but I asked them to work in Anjali’s orphanage and get the salary from me. So their life is stable! All my cars are now making trips to school and churches. I got a scooter for my commutation.
An accident changed my life completely. Now 10 children is leading a happy life at my cost of living. I saw the other side of the life. I realized giving makes you happy. I finished my studies and I am going to start my company. I will ask Anjali two things one can you sing for my music company and the other is Will you be my wife?
I took a bunch of flowers and dressed up neatly and every one in the orphanage home is behind me for proposing to Anjali. Varathu and Ramesh showed all the best and entered her room and asked where is Anjali? Sister said she went for driving! I was shocked Oh! My god not again! Ramesh drive the car! My mind started to swirl again!

It was bit difficult to send Varathu and Ravi …Its Ramesh ….is it not
Yes, you are right Anitha! It is Ramesh. Thanks for pointing it out! I have done the correction. Any comments on the story?
u rock
Thanks Anitha! There are lot more stories on it way!
Nice Story Ram.
Praying to God. Nothing should happen for Anjali…
Do not worry! It will not be a sad ending! Let us be positive!
That’s very thoughtful of you! Well narrated! Good job Ram.
Thanks Gideon! This is the one which keeps me going!
I wish, Anjali should take the back seat and Ramesh to drive the car at all times.
