“Destiny Calls” by Chethana Nagulapalli

Though I never saw him before, I felt as if I had known him since childhood. People feel usual hearing this but it is the best experience if you found anyone who occupies your heart devoid of your consent. I felt the same with him. The most memorable moment in my life was when I saw him for the first time, because I deem that I am a typical girl who never likes anyone just by first sight however he broke my tag.  

Everyday I used to admire him without his notice. It is a universal assumption that boys are the only one who run behind their loved ones but I would say it’s not entirely true as even girls do the same thing. The only difference is that boys do noticing but girls pretend as if they don’t, mostly for any reason. You are my first thought in the morning and last thought before dusk and you are almost in every thought in between. Though I thought we were friends you just treated me just like a classmate. As for me, I started treating you with lot of admiration more than anyone else I know.  

I started caring for you so much that I never even cared about myself. To be honest, I am addicted to you. I just cared for you like a mother and you’re my smile, frown, wrong, right and happiness. I don’t care about your past or about you’re ex-girlfriend. All I want is to be you from now and forever. Though you hurt my concern about you many times I still never stop caring for you just because I consider you being my other half. When I used to sing, you are the one who dwell in my thoughts.

I know the fact that you know how much I love you. I felt you like a responsibility but you used to date girls whom you like. I fought with you for silly reasons because I was missing you very badly. Later I concluded that I gave my heart to a heartless person who never understood me in life, why won’t you look back and see how much I mean it? You are going behind a girl who doesn’t even care about you? Why won’t you look at the girl who wants to share her life? And now I know that is how love works.

Now I understood that I should go on with my life. Even though it’s tearing me up inside, I knew I should move on.

Though my love was daily speaking to his girlfriend he felt something is incomplete in their relation. Over time he couldn’t even feel comfortable with her. Later he realized the truth that he is only liking her but not loving her. He started missing the days I loved and cared for him and decided to get me back into his life. 

The very next day while I was coming home I saw him waiting for me. I was shocked seeing him approaching me. My heart beat raised and eyes stopped blinking and started staring at him. It was around 7 pm; and the cold breeze was a perfect climate. The first words were “I am sorry for all that has happened! I don’t want to lose you.”

​I understood that he realized. Later he bent on his knees, held my hand and took a beautiful ring from his pocket and proposed to me saying “With nature being our witness I hereby ask you. Will you marry me?” 

I just hugged him so tightly and cried. That moment all my pain totally vanished and that proposal made me to be reborn again. Simultaneously he cried hugging me back. Until now, this was the best moment of my life. That very moment I decided to give my best to him. I knew that love is the other name of freedom and I just loved him the way he was. 

I gave him my best support and stood beside him in all situations. In this journey, I have learnt that God gives us what we want but he shall make you wait until there would be a fitting time.
