Looking back I think my life has always been a journey.....A journey I had embarked on starry eyed towards him and now with the same determination numb of heart and soul,I seek to move away.Will there be a return ticket awaiting at the end of this... only time shall tell.But for now I am relishing the growing distance between us,may be I too can achieve an escape velocity strong enough to withstand the pull between us.
It feels surreal....this moment.Was it me who left that house yesterday?Was it me,Soya who packed her bags and left without a single goodbye to her Bharat.Was it indeed me who is now sitting in this bus, heading to this far off village in search of new beginnings?Sometimes I amaze even myself but during others I can't kick myself hard enough for my own stupidity.
It's almost a day's journey to Intizar,a small cozy village nestled in the outskirts of civilization.And for the first time in a long time I feel excitement bubbling within me.It was with some trepidation that I accepted the post as a live in care taker for this old age home.But some parts of me could relate with them,some of me could understand what it was like to be unwanted.
Sighing i shook my head...this won't do...my duty is to cheer all the residents there not drag them to gloom with me.I thought about my brother's reaction to my news,it was hilarious.For the second time in my life I had rendered my brother Chetak speechless.The first time he had the same reaction was when I had announced my marriage to his best friend.It was no use...no matter what I think about,it would eventually end in him....Am i forever destined to run in circles around him....i wonder if he even realised that I am gone.... probably not...may be he never would.Now he doesn't even have a reason to, because I had left the signed divorce papers as a parting gift for him.
Goodbye my love, goodbye....I hope that if we ever meet again,I can let go off you more easily than how I did today.
