Chapter 6 Moving Apart

After exams he was supposed to do his PG in the same college and we planned that we will pass out together. But fate had planned something else. Unfortunately he couldn't crack the entrance for his MS in our college.

So we didn't had any other option inspite of moving apart. On the convocation day he introduced me to his parents. I became close to his sister. But his parents were reserved kind. So could not mingle much with them. Then I was really happy that day. But at one corner of my heart I was screaming because I was going to be away from him for next 2 years.

Then he joined a college in Tamilnadu. Things were beautiful, but not beautiful as it was when we were near each other. True love doesn't mean being inseparable it means being separated but nothing changes.

I was then promoted from darling to wife. Then started the rainy season. Every raindrop that showered on me made me feel his touch. The earthy smell was like his aroma. The wind that blew was like he is whispering in my ears.

The worst part of life is waiting, but the best part of life is having someone worth waiting for. And believe me he was really worth it. You know in a long distance relationship your love is tested and doubted everyday, but when you still prove to each other that its worth it, that is what makes the relationship so special.

Honestly, neither me nor he had the idea that how much I miss him, how much I think about him, how long I stay up remembering him. The pain I feel in my chest when I see him with someone else because they are so lucky that they can see you everyday. How close I'm to tears when I looked at our old pictures. Honestly, no one has the idea that how much he affected in my life in such little time.

Day by day the pain was increasing because it was becoming harder for me to stay away from. Even though he is thousand miles away from me but he is the first thing in my mind. If he used to call while I'm in class I always used to attend anyhow because I didn't wanted to miss even a single chance to talk to him. The video calls were my chargers, because they were the only means through which I could see him. Sometimes while having a video call with him I used to feel like he is sitting infront of me. That feeling was really amazing.

Then days were passing slowly. The worst thing about time is whenever we want it to move slowly it goes on like a cheetah, and when we want it move faster it moves like a snail. Only 3 months had passed n more 21 months had to pass. When you used to see a person whom you love daily its heaven but when you don't see them even for a day it feels like a year has passed. So if we compare my case with this it feels like 90 years has passed. Without seeing him I feel like my eyes are burning. They are shedding tears without seeing him. Even though he was away from he used to immediately call me whenever I was depressed or feeling lonely. I don't know how he used to do that every single time. Maybe this is what is called the power of love.

We used to talk almost everyday. As days passed we started missing each other a lot. Then he came to Kerala without informing me and it was really an unexplainable feeling. I started crying after seeing him. Then we went to temple, you may think that the couples who were in a long distance relationship, who are meeting after long days and why they went to temple. The reason is god created a moment and made us meet again. We went to thank him for making us meet again after this long time. Then we went to darling bakery (it's our lover's point). Then we went to beach, we were there till sunset. Then without wanting I had to go back to hostel. We were on video call whole night. Maybe that was the best day of that year. Then the next day he said he is leaving back to tamilnadu. I was very much disappointed. But I knew it was a test period for our relationship. Then again we went away from each other. But the one day spent with him was enough for me to pass some more days.
