Aishu words doesn't made sense at all to me.I reached room had a short nap and about to go for lunch, a call came from one of Aishu close friend("It never made sense first Aishu's words, now call came from her friend which she never called before").
I lifted the call and asked "ya tell me sushitha, what happened, is there anything wrong".
Sushitha replied "Have u scolded Aishu? What happened between you people?She is continuously crying from the time she came, whenever we says to call to you she is increasing her sobering, I came out and talking to you, once can you speak to her ahh?"
I said "Yes I will" and cutted the call and my hands are shivering and I tired to call to her as fast as I can.call is going on but no one is lifting the call, I called and called and called but I know she is not picking up, while I was trying this Govind who is other branch placement representative, a good friend of mine and a member of our nerdy gang came to me running and told to me " Abhi, quickly change into some clothes, placement cell head called both of us and asked to meet urgently at the guest house where the company people are staying".
We walk as fast as we can ("literally we are running, first time I thought college should be in small size") and reached the place in no time.Placement cell head with those people are walking and coming staright ahh in front of us.
They straight ahh came to us and gave a firm shake hand. They said "You must be Abhi and Govind right, the placement representatives, nice to hear that,really appreciate your work, by the way this is Shankar, HR"
We said "Its pleasure to meet you sir..."
He paused us "Don't call me sir, you can call me Shankar and I called you people that gud news is your written results are out, but only one fourth of you people have cleared it"
We were shocked after hearing the words("The nerves in me started to tremble, everything inside me started getting fear, I was sweating a lot same with Govind situation, but he is in somewhat better state than me")
Govind asked "How can we check it?"
He replied its too simple "Go to your profile in our company site where you registered for the first time, It will display whether u cleared or not".He is such a nice person and understood our eagerness and said if you want I will provide my system, you can check yours here only but we declined his offers since it wont be good to behave with them like that. He said "Ok people, hope you would have cleared the written"and wished all the best to us, they just passed infront of us.
We ran as fast as we can, opened my lap which is from ages("it got all sort of problems such as no battery backup, no volume and all"). I logged into the portal net is as expected was playing with me, its coming and going, atlast it displayed on screen.
YOUR INTERVIEW CALL LATER
Atlast I was really happy I crossed one hurdle, we started informing to all. Everyone started checking and the good news is that all our nerdy gang got cleared the written, we are so happy and we are celebrating our first success but we know there is long way to go. Atlast I remembered about Aishu and checked my phone, eight missed calls from her ("Goddamn, I forgot everything and enjoying. what happened to Aishu at all.")
I know her ID and password for the portal since I am the one who filled her sheet, I logged into portal, internet played this time worst than ever, it took me hard ten minutes and a shock came to me, She didn't appear the test at all.....
I kept on calling her till everyone came to know that something is wrong with me, I messaged her "come to canteen in evening, I need to talk to you, its really important and I will be waiting there till u come.
I waited for two hours there for her, she never showed up,I tried her mobile, it was switched off atlast she came but I have questions flooded in me, she came with eyes bulged, red in colour, I never saw her before like that.I gave her one plate of sandwich which I ordered before only and told her to eat first.("I know she would have never ate at all")
After that I asked her "why haven't u attended the test? Why aren't u lifting any of my calls?"
She said in a very low voice
"morning he called me from USA, I was in hurry for attending the test, I said I will call back later,
he asked "why? this is the first time I am calling you, cant you skip the classes for now"
then I told "I am having placements today, gonna attend thats why"
He laughed out aloud and told"you are so funny Aishu, why do u need a job in india when u are gonna travel to USA after marriage,we are gonna settle here, if you want to do any job we will try here later, you dont need to be like a book worm now,enjoy your days, we are gonna live happily,If you need anything to buy or any expenses please dont trouble your parents, I am here for you".
That words made tears to flow in my eyes and that tears never stopped till the end of this year. Usually I am a bit sensitive guy and the thought of Aishu leaving me, made me really feel a lot, everything is decided in just a day.
Then she continued "If you know the future how can I write Abhi, I know all the answers there, but I just quitted the test and came out waiting for you, I am fearful that we are not gonna meet ever Abhi"
She said that word and started crying, generally I will covince her everytime but this time I itself was of unable to control my tears but I got strength in myself and told to her "Its a good news only, you will get a good life there, but you are gonna miss us, If you want something in your life you need to leave something Aishu, try to understand me"
I said those words but Aishu was thinking something else she said to me "Abhi, tomorrow is your interview, you need to prepare a lot for it, you just go now, leave all these, think about your target, its your dream Abhi, its about your life, your parents dreams, dont think about me."
Till that time I thought my parents, Aishu and my life are only important but Aishu is now saying to drop her Its just Parents and my life....No Aishu.....
