What happened? Why are you so upset? What's wrong?
Hey, hello? Where are you, man? What are you dreaming of?
Have you gone insane? How skinny have you become? Where have you been for the past few days?
What the heck, bro, why aren't you receiving my phone calls?
Bro, please don't be so insane...! Everything happens for a reason... Grow up and move on!
Have you ever thought about your parents? Do you even know how worried they are about you?
These were the questions I frequently hear these days and now I was used to of them. People say life and time are unstoppable but for me both stopped two years ago. I had never been in such a dire state of loneliness but this world is so unpredictable that we can't even imagine. Now I am a body who is lifting his own corpse with a smile.
A well pretended smile which is no less than a burden on my lips, heart and soul.
But a few years back there was a 24 year old man, who was full of life.
Wanna know my story?
Lets begin...
I'm Danial. A square-faced common man with average height, fair skin, a broad forehead, hazel eyes spaced evenly apart, sitting under a dark black curved eyebrow with a fitting eyeglass, a long sharp nose pursued by pink bow like lips, a slightly pointed chin with a sturdy jaw line, and a chinstrap kind of beard with no moustache. I was born and brought up in Hyderabad. After completing my engineering degree, I am currently living in the GCC. I remember the time when I was considered a man of life at parties because I loved to be in a jolly mood, fun-loving, friendly, adventurous, athletic, and party kind of guy. I've always preferred my social life to my social networking life. But maybe life wanted to teach me a lesson with its unpredictable twist and turns.
It all started when I was only 24 years old and tried Yahoo Messenger on the recommendation of my friend, I was unaware of the fact that this was going to change me entirely. I started using Yahoo Messenger, spending some time every day in the chat rooms, chatting with random people and enjoying the conversation. As the days passed by, I started enjoying the conversation, and my time increased from minutes to hours, and from hours to whole day. I just lost my social life; I was completely busy chatting on Yahoo. And the reason behind this was a girl named Hoorein. Initially, we used to have some random conversations, but as time passed, we started chatting with each other more comfortably. We used to share our daily activities, our fun activities, our problems, the future plans, etc. I found her to be a very cute, simple, sweet, jovial, friendly and caring girl. If either of us faced any problem we usually find solutions together and get rid of it. This is how we came closer to each other and started spending more time together.
We both lived in two different countries of the GCC, but the distance between us didn't matter to us. Now we couldn't stay away from each other for a single minute. We both were working for reputed companies, but we still managed to chat wherever we were free in the office, at social gatherings, or when we were with our friends etc. It had been nearly six months since we began our friendship. We both were delighted as things were going very well and smoothly. During these months, we have both gone through many hard times but hard times are worthwhile when we have such wonderful friends, and they know how to cheer us up and encourage us. They also know how to get us out of difficult situations. Believe me, when we have such a caring friend, the difficult times pass in a flash. For me, Hoorein was one such friend. Not only a friend, now she was becoming something more than a friend. We exchanged our contact numbers after only a few days of our friendship. She always looked after me, waking me up for the office and reminding me to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time. If I ever get late in answering her call, she gets very upset. I was very tense and worried about myself. To be honest, I was careless. When we finish talking late at night, I usually tired my mobile data off and go to bed. Furthermore, I usually neglected her instructions, but deep in my heart I felt happy and excited, which always kept me smiling. I started thinking of her more. I started concentrating on each and everything she said, as well as repeating our conversations in my mind. It was enough to bring the ultimate joy and I couldn't stop smiling like a freak.
