“Breakup” a stage in life which breaks everything within you, disturbs your mind, breaks your heart, and splits your soul. Lucky are those who never face this situation but as all of us know the percentage of those lucky persons is very less. After a long relationship, the heart-rending day of breakup kissed my life.
It was October 2014 and I was back to college after my Dussehra (a Hindu festival) holidays. This was the month when life started kicking me. The first day after vacations greeted me with a complaint, I was accused of ragging my juniors. The complaint was made before vacations and the action was taken soon after. On the very first day, I got my suspension letter. I will not say that it broke me up but yes I was disturbed a bit. This was followed by a series of verifications, trials which started irritating me and made me angry. I started talking to my love for diverting my mind but it made the situation worse, I ended up fighting. It is rightly said don’t talk too much in anger. The arguments continued, a series of old stories came out from a grave, which finally took my relationship to deathbed. Now, this was the time when I finally broke down.
The whole day I kept on lying on my bed, the only thing which I did was remembering her, thinking how I will face her in college, how will I live without her. I wept, wept for hours, changed the side of the pillow when it got wet and wept. Yes, men cry too, they too have heart and emotions. One good thing happened in between, I was not found guilty of ragging but this happened when I wanted to get punished. I was not willing to go to college and face her.
Days passed, in Diwali when there was light everywhere it was dark inside me, the crackers of silence were burning in me. So passed my birthday, without any celebrations, there was nothing to celebrate. I started living a melancholic life.
Sometimes a phone call can bring a smile on your face. It brought a smile on mine too, the news was my best friend has planned something special for me. She told she was coming to Ranchi in last December and forced me to be there. Saying no to her is as dangerous as going into lion’s den.
The day finally came, I was in Ranchi and the next day I was going to meet my best buddy after 3 years. Next morning when I woke up, I saw a chit lying beside me saying “See you in an hour buddy”. Who waits for an hour, she was there within half an hour. I just had my tea and we left. There was a twist, I was blindfolded. I didn’t know where she was taking me. After about 30 minutes’ drive we got down and finally, she opened my eyes. I couldn’t believe myself, there was a small tent in a forest with a lake beside it and the beauty was breathtaking. She had brought coffee for us. We sat beside the lake, had a cup of coffee and started talking. She was cracking lame jokes but somehow they made me laugh. Suddenly she asked me to narrate the story of my breakup and I did. I broke off, tears rolled down again, but this time there was the best pillow, her shoulder. I wept and she allowed me too. I felt relaxed. She didn’t console me but said “I am your girlfriend” do you need anyone else? The words made me somewhat happy, I don’t know exactly what I felt buy yes it was a “Positive feeling”. She told me to narrate my poems and listened will heart. She even suggested me to start a blog (later I did). In afternoon we left for lunch. After lunch, we again came back to the place and went inside the tent. A few minutes later I heard some music being played. I came out and saw that a tribal man was playing Ektara. I sat beside him and listened to the music. I started talking to him, although he had nothing, he seemed to be the happiest person in this world. He told me that Ektara is like his friend and hence he never feels alone. Although he was illiterate, he taught me the best lesson “Make your hobby your friend”. He went back in evening and so do we. We went for a movie and dinner afterwards.
I came home with handful memories, a hope to get my love back and a lot of positivity. The positivity which was lost somewhere was finally found. I found her in a forest with my best friend and the Ektara player
