Time to depart

We had been together for 3 months. These 3 months were the best in my life. But soon the good times were to be over . na na .. don’t get me wrong . Things between us were fine. It was just that time to depart had come. Classes were over and he had to go back to bharuch. That meant that I had to learn to live life without him. Not that I had not earlier but it was lust that in the three months he had made life so meaningful for me and lo lovable and livable for me, that I could not now imagine a life without him.
The d day was 31st of march when he had to board his train for good to go back to bharuch. I was dreading that day. But alas, the day dawned. I wanted to give him something when he would leave me and go and the gift I got for him was a nice watch. That morning seemed so dull and the sir seemed to be full of sorrow. His train was at 6.30 in the evening. I went to his flat and helped him out with some packing. Surprisingly (great minds think alike) he too had got a gift for me and to my surprise it was also a watch. I was so happy with it. Bu this could no way reduce my sorrow. Nut he had a bigger gift to give me. When we first met and in all the 3 months that we were together he somehow never told me those three golden words “I love you”. Not that he loved me less but whenever I would tell him “I love u “his reply would be “I’ll tell u when the right time comes. I never wanted the day he was going to be the right day for him and when we were just about to leave for the station he told me that he loved me and how I meant the world to him. My heart was so much full of different emotions I didn’t know how to react. it had all in it happiness sorrow excitement and a lot of other emotions. This state of mind is so difficult to express. We then left for the station and when I had to bid him adieu I saw tears in his eyes. I did weep a lot but when I saw tears in his eyes I could feel his love for me. The train left and I saw the man of my life leave me and go and wait there like as though was left on a dessert with no one around me ……….so lost with a feeling of incompleteness.

His first award

As it is I had very high regards of koushik he was doing his CA, ICWA and CS, was a ranker in one of them and so on. In March he had a quiz programme conducted by the institute in Kerala. This was his first visit after meeting me outside Pune. These were some things about him that I did not know. He was a quiz master, was a spokesperson (had won a couple of awards in elocution) and so on. So he left for Kerala and came back with a big trophy for winning the all India quiz contest held there. When he came back he claimed that I was his lucky charm and that is why he had won the award. Aaaaah that felt so good. Also e came back with my first gift. He got me a nice Sari, the typical Kerala style. Felt so good about it.
