After so much of desperation Ravi left his room for a walk. He looked around everyone is so happy after all. He cursed his luck, why this has to happen to me? He walked further, the freezing cold made his hands num. He started to rub his hands and kept his palm around his chin. He felt bit warmth. He walked further, suddenly he fainted.
Beep… Beep… He hardly heard the beep sound. He felt his head was so heavy. Slowly he got his visuals working. He barely saw. Someone walked across but it looked very cloudy. He realized he was in a hospital. People were walking all around buzzing like a bee. Ravi’s father came in and grabbed his hand. Son! I got you back. You were in coma for 2 weeks.
He could not talk back but he gained his full consciousness. His girlfriend would have married by this time. Why love is so painful. I never had a single enjoyable second, his thoughts once again put him in trauma. The agonizing painful Ravi was lot more different 3 months back.
Ravi was a hotel manager in a big star hotel, he deal with plenty of big shots. He always has this smile, anyone can easily start a conversation with him. He was like sparkling star. Many foreigners would remember him. He has this good accent and his multi-lingual ability kept his life very colorful in happiness and financially. Everything was so normal until he saw her.
Keerthi Shetty somewhere from north India joined as his trainee. She was so perfect, the way she dress her glossy lipstick, perfectly combed hair, properly eye browed eyeliner, smart fit coat, barely visible mascara, pink cheek blush and transparent nail polish. Any male’s eyes would stop a second and take a click at her. Ravi was no exception. She came near to him and asked what should I do sir?
Sir? He felt very much awkward. He said you can call me Ravi, I am not ok with Sir. The same hotel looked very different, he started to admire the chandler as if he was seeing it for the first time. Days passed by the intimacy between these got closer. He picked the business knack very soon. Ravi had this feeling that am I a right fit for her? Does she love any one? He developed this habitat of asking questions himself all the time.
Anu stopped Ravi! Hey! Are you all right? Why are you so disturbed? Where is your trademark smile? Every one misses that. Anu was receptionists at the same hotel. She was beautiful but not so fashionable like Keerthi. Ravi did not bother to answer. His mind was playing the pendulum game with him. Its oscillation was so long and it was swinging back again and again.
The day came Ravi could not hold his love emotions and feeling towards Keerthi. He said Keerthi! By god’s grace I got everything in my life, I will be the happiest person in this whole life if you become my wife. I know this is not the best way to propose to a girl but still I did. Will you marry me? Keerthi smiled and said. Ravi you got it all wrong! I am god’s faulty product and I love someone else. Believe me some one is loving you so tremendously. Soon that person is going to hold your hands.
His mind was like a swamp, there are many things flying around. He did not understand what is meant by “faulty product”? Did she love someone? He developed some kind of disease which occupied his whole brain and he did not go to job. He started to see things on his own. His mind played the hallucination game. He did not sleep for 5 straight days. That made him sicker and he finally fainted.
Someone grabbed his hand, it was cold he realized that is a female hand. The hospital light were so dull he could not see clearly. Get well soon! That was so familiar voice. That was Anu! He now connected the dots. He always had a feeling someone is admiring him in hotel. So that was real she was seeing him for a long time. Then she realized he loved Keerthi and parted herself away.
Now he know someone loves him and he loves someone and that someone is in love with someone else. There is a pattern, at some part someone has to sacrifice to make others love success. He also realized all can’t win in this game. So he thought he will do the sacrifice and make Anu’s love success.
Love bloomed and he started to like Anu for real. Keerthi got placed in Mumbai. Everything went well, in another 2 weeks of time Ravi and Anu is going to get married. Ravi was very busy checking his mails, there is an email from Keerthi. It said “Why didn’t I say yes! To your proposal? I wasn’t in ready for taking up love that time. I am in a big mess, I never loved anyone other than you. Now I can’t even have enough courage to see any man’s eyes. Everyone is looking like you. Now I realize how you would have felt like… Missing you… Yours kiddo!”
After reading that mail, once again his brain fever started to play, he was bombarded with plenty of questions. He fainted! The clock ticked for his wedding date!
