A Promise...!!!

One assurance which is often used in pessimistic way is a proverb commonly preached
“Promises are meant to be broken”. Though grim but certainly not hypothetical there are examples where a person led his life just for a promise he made years ago, promise to adhere one’s commitment lifelong. It might seem strange to some but it's worth reckoning provided it's a promise to live for, a promise to Love for, a promise to spend one’s life for…!!!
Opening line reminds me of the story of Anirudh.


For a starter read the lines which Anirudh spoke to his beloved Ananya  –“I promise you if I’ll ever marry it will be you else will never marry in my life. You were the first and the last person I loved and you know you can never wipe off my feelings for you, it’s a challenge you can try but you will fail its guaranteed.”



It’s said everything is fair in love and war. One sided love is definitely not any war but it’s more intriguing then a war. As with war, the wounds persists after a war subsides with time. But with one sided love not only one is compelled to fight against odds at all times more so every other day he has to stand up to the sarcasm of friends and relatives. Furthermore, cumbersome moment is when one has to fight amongst himself whether to believe in oneself and his eternal love or to go with the stray ideas of giving up. Still most devastating factor of one sided love is that the wounds grow deeper with time.

Now I suppose everyone can visualize the anguish of a person who made a promise of lifetime commitment of loving someone. You must have heard of this quote any man can love hundreds of woman in his life but only a man of character can love one woman in his entire life in more than hundred ways…!!!
Do you think life would be easier for Anirudh?

Some relations are created by destiny, it depends on us whether we acknowledge them or not. Here’s an overview of a sweet and adorning incident of Anirudh’s Life.
Anirudh was sitting on the roof top along with Ananya (Anirudh’s love) and few other friends. Suddenly an alluring butterfly came and sat on Anirudh’s head and after sometime it took its flight and sat on Ananya’s head. Both Ananya and Anirudh were unaware of the incident but their friends who saw all this started conversing amongst themselves. It was then, when Anirudh came to know about the myth of butterfly and its connection with couples.
(For all those who don’t know about the Myth: When a butterfly sits on a boy’s head and then on a girl’s head. They get married to each other (Hindu Myth). Another well known myth is about the Wedding butterfly which is left free on one’s wedding day (Christian Myth))
before I go further Let me introduce Ananya.


Ananya was both a Sensitive and a practical person.  She was caring, Intelligent and a very good friend of
Anirudh’s. In fact she knew in and out about Anirudh and probably that’s the reason she gave this message to Anirudh (before the butterfly incident)
Anirudh who _ ____ is a boy with specs and is blind without it (Joking). You know you are good, simple, open book (As you call yourself), kindhearted, honest, generous, good cricketer, spend thrift, sometimes confusing etc. Always keep smiling, be successful, be what you are and do not forget me. 

 
Talking about Butterfly, it’s a myth and it surely depends on us weather we believe it or not.  But according to few it was more than a myth as the Butterfly Incident was followed by the time when both Anirudh and Ananya became very close and prior to that Ananya's statement also meant she wanted it that way. It was also the best moment of Anirudh’s life as he did propose Ananya. Though Anirudh’s happiness was short lived but it was the time which changed his life. It was the time when Anirudh made a promise to Ananya.


Ananya knew what was going in Anirudh’s heart and replied: if it’s really their destiny to be together then let time decide their fate. 

 
During the meantime Ananya did respond to Anirudh’s proposal and accepted that she loved him dearly. But their path towards their destiny took turns and Ananya left Anirudh alone to fight his way back in life.

After losing Ananya Anirudh's life became grueling, a consequence of agitation. he was often heard with the cries similar to the one stated below.


Anirudh in solitude:-
You know every night my heart cries come back, please come back!
 I am lonely without you. Why did you leave me alone in this long journey of life?
 I need you, please come back.

The following lines isn’t a poem I didn’t even try to make one but it’s my feelings for you, Ananya


Every day i search for the only soul
Only person who meant to me-my all
I know I lost her in my stroll
She went beyond dreams to control
Even its too late for me to recall
And am only left to strangle and fall

I am lonely, lonely without you
As I lost myself feeling in lieu
I gave you my entirety in preview

Am wrong in my virtue i didn't knew
I loved you and only you
Is this my fault in your View?

Those days when we were together,
Life was accomplished altogether
Living was sure a connoisseur
As i lived in Impression of a major
In her absence I can only suffer
This pain is too much to bear any longer

Those ears of yours were heeding and bold
As you could hear me by many fold
Whenever I was sick, I felt you to feel cured
I felt for those sweet ‘nothings’ we had shared.
You now know how long I waited
Can you tell me how can I survive by being hated?

Those eyes of yours meant so much to me
As you could gaze at me and foresee
Those lips though numb spoke so forth for me
Just A smile would inspire to gee
You still bemused why I called we?
It’s only you who completes me…!!!

Heart crunching isn't it?

After going into a brief of Anirudh's life people might feel, this guy won't survive and he might bite the dust.Well he is living, living in a silence Anirudh's whereabouts is known from his dearth only, dearth from the people around and dearth from the world that surrounds. Ananya was the only one who could understand him and he knows she would understand his dearth as well. Today when he is alone recollecting her memories he could feel, she was the one who taught him to understand someone, to feel someone’s pain, to feel for someone’s absence, to love someone, to cry for someone and to miss someone. A person, because of whom he could identify himself, could know the reason for his existence. A person who taught him so much, a person who gave a new meaning to his life, a person who gave life to him, how can he live without loving her?

 Anirudh's life is as good as any final stage leukemia patient but he is living for the promise he made to Ananya, a promise which the world might not know, a promise which Ananya might have forgotten long before but it’s the promise because of which he wakes up every morning feeling more gumptious than the day before. Only respite Anirudh has in his life is in his sub consciousness he can see her smiling and whispering in his ears “Anirudh, you will have to live a long life, I am there with you always. Do not lose hope. Look ahead, so beautiful is life same as your smile, same as your twinkling eyes so lovely like your love!”

You know more than anything else Anirudh is living for the promise of loving Ananya. i.e.,
He is living for a Promise,
a promise to live for, a promise to Love for, a promise to spend one’s life for...!!!

TRUE LOVE ……A DIFFERENT STORY


-->
8 years have passed since he passed 12th.What went wrong between them? Was it only a one sided love? Was it a fate?
Anup was deep in his thought while going to the orphanage. Today he is going to adopt a child- a girl child.
On the following evening…
Anup took an infant girl of 2 year old to his home. After much exertion he decided to call her mamoni.
As mamoni came to his life, anup’s wounds were healing faster then ever before. He was no longer subdued in his memories. His days and night passed in love and care for her princess. Mamoni became the entire world for him.
Time passed by unnoticed….
3 years later in a television interview…
Interviewer: anup it seems god’s blessings is in your side, whatever steps you are taking in the corporate world it’s been a big hit. Whom do you give credit to?
Anup: I give credit to my child mamoni. Since she came to my life, my life has taken a u-turn.
Interviewer: she is your adopted child isn’t it? So don’t you want to get married?
Anup: marriage! Well I had promised somebody something. It’s all a long past. But yes I will keep that promise throughout my life.
Interviewer: promise? Tell me something about that.
Anup: leave all that. It’s of no use now. I don’t want to dig all those old memories. My child mamoni is everything for me and I cannot think of anybody except her so, no marriage for me.
-->
Interviewer: what’s your next plan in this corporate market.
Anup: I have something in mind but it wont fetch anything if I tell it before hand. So just wait and watch.
Interviewer: hope you succeed with your project.
Interviewer: anup thank you for giving your precious time.
Anup: thank you.
3-4 days later in the mamoni’s school backyard.
Mamoni was waiting for her father to pick her up after school.
A lady approached her.
Lady: you are mamoni isn’t it?
Mamoni: yes I am.
Lady: where is your father? Didn’t he come to pick you up?
Mamoni: he would be coming shortly.
Lady: which class are you in?
Mamoni: I am in standard 1
Lady: you are a very good girl. Here is a gift for you.
Mamoni: what’s it.
Lady: a chocolate for this cute girl.
Mamoni takes the chocolate in her hand and sees his father anup standing a few meters from her. Mamoni ran to her father who picked her up in his arms and begged sorry for being late. Anup inquired who gave the chocolate to her. Mamoni moved her fingers towards the lady where she was standing still. Anup couldn’t even utter a word seeing the lady.
Lady: anup how are you?
Anup: can’t believe it’s you.
-->
Lady: you kept all your words. You are the same as you were in those school days. You didn’t change even after so many years.
Anup: it’s all because of you.
Mamoni: you both were classmates? Papa we are getting late. I have to go to buy a gift for you. Tomorrow is your birthday.
Anup to the lady
Anup: nice to see you after so long. Anyways I have to go now.
Mamoni: papa she was your classmate why don’t you invite her to your birthday tomorrow. All your school friends will be coming there.
Anup: sorry beta!
Anup to the lady
Anup: if you want you can come to my birthday tomorrow. But no gifts ok. Anyways I have to leave.
Lady: bye anup.
Anup: bye.
Next evening….
It was looking as if it wasn’t a birthday but a school reunion. Many of anup’s friend have come to the party because it was the first time after class 12th that he was celebrating his birthday.
As the party was about to finish and people were about to leave, the lady who met anup and his daughter on the previous day came up.
Lady: happy birthday anup.
Anup: thanks. I am glad you came here.
Lady: sorry I am late actually there was some urgent work.
Anup: u came up and wished me that’s more then enough for me.
Friends were leaving wishing anup for that exquisite party.
Lady: anup do you remember those tumbin dialogues?
-->
Anup: yes I do.
Lady: do you remember I asked you ‘can somebody fall in love for the 2nd time.’?
Lady: do you remember I told ‘you can be shekhar who was lucky enough to get back his love.’?
Anup: yes I remember all those but I think you may have forgotten what I told to you.
Lady: what?
Anup: I had told you ‘love happens only once.’ And for me there was only one mamoni and there will be only one mamoni and that mamoni is now my daughter.
Lady: I had thought something but it seems it won’t be possible now.
Anup: time doesn’t wait for anyone but still I have waited all those years. It’s too late. Now my daughter mamoni is my entire life.
Lady: are you willing to live your entire life like this.
Anup: I think you forgot the promise that I made to you ‘If I don’t marry you I wont marry my entire life and I would adopt a girl child who would become the reason for my existence.’
Lady: anup I am speechless.
Anup: I think you must not waste your life the way I did in my past. You must forget all those and find a better reason to live, so that you can live your rest of your life happily.
Mamoni came running.
Mamoni: papa everyone has gone now. Do you remember something that you promised?
Anup: yes I do remember beta...
Anup to the lady
Anup: it’s getting late your parents might be worrying for you. You must leave now.
-->
Lady: oh ya I am getting late. Good night anup and wish you a very happy life ahead.
Anup: same to you.
The lady left …and mamoni chirped so it’s time for your story now.
Anup: where was I last time?
Mamoni: papa I know you remember each and every thing. You never forget what you promise. Every year on your birthday you tell me about you’re past life and last year you left at…
Anup: ok ok I am telling you…I passed class 10th and I came to this new place, all new faces surrounding me. The first thing that amazed me was people had started giving me nicknames even before knowing me properly…and the first nick name was spring and it was given by…
And the story continues….
True love never dies…it’s the love that anup had for mamoni that he waited 8 long years hoping she would come back but she never came. He had promised mamoni that he would never marry any other girl and would adopt a girl. He named the adopted girl mamoni (the name of the person whom anup loved). And this love for mamoni can also be visualized as when mamoni (lover) did came back he refused her because there was only one mamoni whom he loved throughout his life and this love is now his daughter.
True love indeed!!!!
