My name is Shriram... I was an orphan... till 5 years I had no shelter, no food, no clothes. I stayed on a platform. Sometimes people passing me help with foods. Many days I had starved, I had seen the worst childhood. One fine day I met Mr. John Mathew a father in the catholic church, he came near me, he looks into my eyes, he understood my hungry, so he takes me to the nearby hotel, after buying me food he asked about me, I explained my situation, he took me to a HOME... where there are more orphans like me, I stayed there, I longed for my parents, whenever I see some kids with their parents I became jealous. I met her for the first time. Her name is Akshaya, she was joined there before me... she lost her parents in an accident. We became friends ... we never leave alone in any situation. The father john Mathew helped us to join a school, we both determined to study, we did our schoolings and we both get a scholarship for bachelor degree, we both did BBA and worked in café as part-time to do our masters... we spend our weekends together, at one stage we fall for each other, we both confessed this to father john Mathew... he advised us to concentrate on studies, if you guys get settled I will arrange for your wedding, he promised. After that we continued our friendship and love in a decent manner, we both finished our bachelor's, and then we got admission for MBA with our earnings.... After two years we completed our MBA, she gets a job in a big company, I want to become an entrepreneur, so I started the process for approaching the investors...
She was sophisticated in her work, while I was trying to get a loan, she takes care of me... one night we spent on the terrace for planning about our future.
Hy shri.... she always calls me with that nickname...whenever she calls me with nickname it makes me fall again and again for her
Yeah akshuu... I replied
How was your work going man???? Did you find any investors???
Yeah, ma... I am still searching... two investors showed their interest in my project... waiting for their call...
Super...but why don't you try a job??? You can earn at the same time there will
be not any risk involved.... She asked
Yes, but my dream was to become an entrepreneur... I want to become rich. But I can't achieve that by going to 5-9 jobs... so please try to understand it... I replied
Why are you so scared akshuu??? I asked her
I want to say one thing Shri... I didn't say this before, no one doesn't know about this...she makes her ready to express her feeling...
Do you remember the day we met first??? She asked Shri...
Yes, but why??? I questioned...
That was the next day after, I lost my parents... my father name is Kannan.... he is the managing director of Kannan groups of companies it's a multinational company...he was in the list of top 3 millionaires of the country...
I was really looking to her eyes and I was shocked, I grabbed her hand and asked what happen to your parents??? Then Why you are in the orphanage with us???
She smiled, it's all my fate. She started to get emotional and continued her story...
I was very lucky to have a parent like them, one day my father and mother went for a temple. While returning back home my dad suddenly had a cardiac arrest, he couldn't control the car and he hit the lorry... and both of them died...after my father's funeral, all the partners took the business and left me in the orphanage...
He went near her and hugged her tightly and he holds her hands, I'm sorry dear, but I am sure this won't happen again.... I swear to her...
And I started my business It was also succeeded our life was so happy... I want her to be happy that was my only aim, everything went well, except one day which turned my life drastically...
We planned to get married on next day, so we went to buy a dress, and other kinds of stuff ...while driving I get a call from my company, that my shareholders are ready to withdraw their shares and all creditors are asking to repay the debt immediately. After hearing this I lost to control my mind, I was not aware of the signal... It was red, but I crossed the signal and suddenly a bus crashed my car into pieces...when I woke up, I was admitted to hospital, with left leg and right hand fractured. Father john Mathew was in front of me, I asked him about Akshaya.
Father. Fa... Father what happened to her??? Where is she??? I need to see her.... please bring her father... please... I started to cry...
My dear son, please be calm, she is no more... she has died in spot, you can't see her any more... please be stable son.... Father tried to console me...
After hearing these words, I was fully blanked, I didn't want to live, I just hate myself. I blamed myself. I was the only reason for her death, and I can't believe that she is no more. I was mentally disturbed, like everyone I started to drink, smoke, addicted to drugs. I just lived with her memories. I lost my business, I lost my girl who is everything for me, years passed, I was not stable. I don't even remember my birthday, my mind remembered only that accident ... my routine becomes drinking, drugs, sleep crying wither memories, I found it difficult to live. I don't think to come back to normal life... one night I was drinking in the terrace and fall asleep, I waked up suddenly. I met her face once again, it was like a dream, yes she came for me, she doesn't like me in this way, she advised me to get back a normal life, she said it is the only way to prove my love... her words changed me, I felt difficult to leave drinks and drugs but I can't ignore her words....I tried to rehab myself... it took 2 years for me to overcome that... I don't have any interest in business anymore... I did an M.Phil. and joined as a professor in college... I want to teach my students how to deal with life, I want someone to tell me that because of you I was in good position.... So, I choose this profession... now I am going to Chennai to meet Father John Mathew on his 60th birthday...
