chapter 5

Life after that seemed so exciting and beautiful that I did not worry about my

health condition and consequences of the same. We used to chat through messages on

mobile phone for one month and I didn‟t know even how her voice sounded. I was

hesitant in talking to her and I think she also felt the same.

One day my friend Rohit asked me if there was someone who could tell about the fare of

airlines as he had to go to Bangalore for interview. I said, “yes, one of my friends is in

airlines” and I called her.

I said “Hi”

She had not expected my call. So hesitantly she replied “hi”

I asked “one of my friends has to go to Bangalore, so can you please tell me the

fare”

She replied in a low tone “yeah, I will let you know tomorrow”.

I replied “ok”.

It was a strange experience of talking to a girl with whom I had good friendship but only

through messages. Through messages we came to know well about each other. We cared

for each other but on voice call it seemed as if we were strangers to each other. Next day

she called me up and told about fares of airlines and asked me to repeat what she was told

by her. I replied hesitantly but was not in order. She gave a laugh and cut the call. It was

a great experience that she shared her laugh with me.

I messaged her “your laugh is very beautiful”.

She replied “Thanks but I was very much scared while talking to you, don‟t know

why”

I replied “Me too, and that‟s why I didn‟t remember what was said by you.”

Then next day I called her and talked to her. Now I was bit less hesitant in talking to her.

I was feeling some energy in my body. I didn‟t know from where it came. I felt as if

some angel had stepped into my life and gave some meaning and strength to it. That night

she called me at 1am. I was very much surprised on getting call. We talked till 5 in

morning. She asked me about my family etc etc. I asked her to cut the call but she kept on

telling that she was not feeling sleepy and wanted to talk to me. That day I realised that

Sonia had something for me and she really cared for me. But I could not gather courage

to tell her about my health and about my inabilities. I was scared of telling her these

things as I was afraid losing her. For the first time I blamed God and medical science for

my sufferings.

It was my biggest mistake that I did not tell her the reality. Though I was getting

the care and love of a girl, which I had never ever experienced in my life, but sometimes I

felt that I was playing with her feelings. A thought was also there in my mind that true

love never cares about anything or it does not have any condition.
