It's Not That Simple

Heartbreak

It's not the end! You can do more better jobs. Just stop crying, please! Said kavya.
But I had to cry because it was just the ‘worst’ that could happen to me. I again got rejected in the placement cells. There were four companies, first one wanted the Instant employees so we couldn't go because we had to complete the MBA first. And then the second one rejected me ( I don't why! instead of my good marks, they rejected me! Even I performed well in the interview). The third, selected but it wanted the employees to settle down in Foreign countries which my parents for sure didn't allow for. The fourth and the last one was a little strange, actually, it could only take limited freshers so their level of taking interview was extra high and tough. Only ten students got selected for personal interview, rest couldn't even get through the written test but luckily I was one of those ten students but I got flunked in Personal Interview. Only five students, they selected and I was not one of them. So basically, the overall calculation is, that I was again Jobless. Musafir was also stopped. And this time I was kind of burden to my mom and dad that's how my society's Aunties and uncles thought because I was an MBA graduate unemployed person. My tears were out of control that day, nothing was working on me. I kept crying and crying from dusk till dawn until Maa herself came to take me home as I was at kavya's home since 6 am. But before that, Shan came to cheer me up, but all in vain.
He came, the moment, Kavya informed him about me he didn't take a minute to reach. He could not see me crying that was sure.
Vani! Vani! Hey! Stop crying, he appeared running. He sat beside me, hugged me warmly, I buried my face on his chest and he held me tightly.
Nothing happened kiddo! He uttered warmly Why are you crying? it's just a normal job. You will get the best one, don't worry! God definitely has something too superb great for my Vani, that's why. Now stop crying, and he kissed me softly on my forehead. He loved me, I knew that but that pain was just not removable. I had waited for that for two years and it ended just in five days. Five days, four big companies gave me the biggest shock of my life that I was worth nothing.
What would I tell Maa and dad? I uttered sobbing. They did not expect this from me.
They will also understand, said Shan.
He tried every possible way to get me back into normalcy but he couldn't.
You know Vani! What's your biggest problem? Now it was Kavya's turn and she was back in her own way of dealing with me, she knew that calm, console, soft words do not affect me when I am sad. She knew how to handle me, nobody understood me well in those two years rather than Kavya, not even Shan.
You underestimate yourself! You think you are just not good enough. You can do nothing and everything is just not that simple for you. But the thing is, my dear! Everything is possible and as much as simple as you can make it. But no! You have your own slogan, ‘It's not that simple’. I know how you will say, ‘Nothing in this world I have got simply and blah, blah, blah. But the problem is, you have not explored yourself yet! What do you like, and you expect from life? Tell me! She asked.
I don't know! I cried.
See! That's what your problem is, you don't know. Vani! Listen to me, right now go home, talk to your parents about this and have some rest. There's always a way for everywhere, you will get your destination and the way to it's too.
Go home and do what! I yelled. Tell my parents that I have again failed. And what do you think, they will congratulate me?
They won't even taunt you for this, this time it was Rishi. Vani! You should be thankful to God, they have given you parents who are not financially that much strong but they believe and love their children. You can't even imagine, what kind of parents are there in this world and how they just do not care what their child is doing, they are just busy in their own lives. Here Rishi was basically referring to his parents, Actually, Rishi lost his mother when he was ten. Then, his father without even thinking about him get married to another woman. This broke the ten-year boy's heart who had just lost the important person of his life; his mother! Whom he loved most in the world because his father was a sloppy kind of man, never cared about him and his mom. He didn't even cry when she passed out. As if she was nothing for him and when his new mom came, she liked him, even loved him like his own son. But, Rishi couldn't accept her. He believed that it's she due to which her mother died. In this mess, he couldn't focus on the studies properly and this always created tensions between father and son. There was not a single day when they did not fight. He liked doing the painting but his father forced him to study MBA, which he got through anyhow but he too like me, didn't get placed anywhere. Kavya didn't appear in any placement exams because she had an interest in Fashion and wanted to pursue an internship in fashion. So she was moving to Mumbai after one month.
Till then Maa approached,
Vani! Do you have any plans to come home today? She asked.
Yeah, I'm coming, let's go. I have to tell you something, let's talk when we reach home, dad would be there too, so I would not have to explain to each and every one personally, I spoke and got up to leave.
