growing up..

This is a true story.This is not my story but as it unfolded i was a silent witness to the pain and agony.

In another step life as he knew it would cease to be .
In another moment he would be giving up all the joy in his life .
In another moment he would be married...

His life could have been a simple ,happy and an easy one..

A happy well to do family , parents who cared for him , friends who loved him and looked up to him , a wide choice of colleges ,careers , cars for him to choose from.He knew that his life was going to be as happy as content and as simple as it was always meant to be.He had chosen his path in all the significant ways.One was his work , the second was his life.One was his profession , the other his soul mate.
He was the chosen one of fortune.

It wasn't to be.

When he began to understand himself and the world around him , he understood that his life was a wonderful one but it demanded something from him.That very moment he began to work hard .Once he made up his mind...well, his mind was made up and his chosen profession was within his grasp.Now his life ..

There was this girl who had always been part of his life.She was his friend , his very best friend, no , not really a friend , she was always more than a friend.A girlfriend , not really,because she was always more than that .She was his soul mate..always and forever.Was there ever a doubt that they would not spend their life together?

Not even a stranger who had stepped into the charmed world that these two inhabited for a split second could have ever guessed in their wildest imagination that these would separate, to go out in the world their separate ways! Yet it was so..he asked she refused .Angry ,torn , alone ,confused, he acted out of a deep need to act .It would be a farewell to his soul...

Here ,he stood ready to take that irrevocable step.To marry another,he needed to gather all the courage within his grasp.So he did ..and so it was done.
An immense farewell...an immense courage.
