Today, I want to share a love story with you, in which a boy though, madly in love with a girl, but leaves her, listening to his mind and not his heart and soul and then see what happens.....
Well, many times, what we observe, two people get married for biological reasons or we cant live alone in our life or because of our family pressure. So, that means, using our minds, practically we should marry to fulfill our emotional or physical needs or because of society pressure. Really? We see so many separations, divorce rates or unhappy marriages, sadly. I was, once talking to an old man, of the age about 80 years of age and he shared some of his experiences. One thing he really mentioned in our conversation is ," Always marry for right reason and that's Love!!" I am telling this to you with my personal experience . I was really, truly and madly in love with a girl 10 years elder to me . She was a very nice person and used to understand me so well, as if she was meant for me. I left her, listening to my mind and not my heart. It was difficult for her to bear a child at her age and she was not so keen. She always believed in her values strongly and wanted to adopt a child. She always felt that there are so many children in orphan, who are unfortunate and deserve love and our love can give them good life and love. But I wanted to have my own child, my DNA. She strongly believed that it's all about values and right nurturing.
Me- Then what happened?
Old Man- I listened to my mind only and married a girl of my age then. But nothing happened as I expected. We were so different and poles apart that we could never understand each other. The daily fights leading to frustration and unhappiness. I lost my business, I was badly broke and she left me.
Me- Ohhh....sorry to know this. So finally, you had your own child? You got what you wanted?
Old Man- Yes, I did have my own child, my own DNA child as I wanted.
Me- Ok nice!! So were you happy then? You got what you wanted. Then what happened? Pls tell me.....I am eager to know.
Old Man- Hmmm...?I learnt and realized later, it's the values and love that matter not DNA. My son turned out to be disrespectful, stubborn, materialistic and snobbish. It was the result of our unhappy marriage and lack of love, I think. You know what, there are very few fortunate people who are touched by true love, many unfortunate people in this world who don't find love in this birth but the most unfortunate are the ones who find it but lose it. I am one of them falling in the last category. If you have love, you can do anything, you have everything on this earth. You are the most happiest person on this earth. And it was too late when I realized it. You should always follow your heart and soul, your inner voice and not the practical mind. If you are with your love, everything is beautiful....Love makes ways...Love conquers all. All the challenges and difficulties become fine if you are with your love. My life would have been much different if I would have married the love of my life. This is one regret I have in my life. You should always see if the person you marry, you want to grow old with, its all that matters. This is one lesson I want to give to everyone. When you are old , you understand each other and are happy together. Marry that person.
Me- Hmmm...What about your love now? Is she married?
Old Man- I don't know....no idea....we lost touch after I got married And we parted our ways for good, for each other's happiness. She always wanted me to be happy, even if its without her. As far as I know from a common friend, she adopted a child as she always wanted to. She used to strongly believe that it's the values which make a person and not the DNA.
Me- Yes, I also believe that. And here, the classic example of the movie-Dhadkan, where Akshay Kumar was the step son and he respected her step mother most , despite of her indifference with her real children. Another example of the movie- Kabhi Khushi kabhi Gham, where Shahrukh Khan is the adopted child.
You didn't try to find out, if she is married or has someone in her life? May be, life has another chance for you in love....you never know.
Old Man- I don't know....I didn't have the courage and face to show her.
Me- You know what, I can relate with you quite well and understand you as well. One of the chapters of my life is quite similar to you. Some years back, a guy 8 years younger to me had fallen for me. It was a very strong soul connection. We were quite similar in many things and used to understand each other quite well. He felt such love and strong connection only for me in his life and none other. And I could not say yes to him because I felt I am elder to him and he should marry someone of his age., as he might regret his decision some years later. I thought he would be happy with someone of his age, his happiness was more important for me.
Similarly, in your case, for her, your happiness was more important than hers and that's what real love is .
Old Man- You should always follow your heart and soul in case of love. That's my advise. True love chooses very few and its beyond age, outer beauty, society norms and all.
Me- Hmmm. There is no way, you can find her and be together again? I really wish two people who are so much in love, should be together. Love forgives also. Gove yourself a chance again.
Old Man- Its too late now I think.
Me- Its never late for, when you follow your heart and soul. You never know, what life can bring you as a surprise the next moment. May be, you never know, she might still be somewhere waiting for you.
Many times, we don't realize the value of something until we lose it. We become practical in everything and use our minds, and sometimes its too late to go back . The lesson from the story of old man is that we should always follow our heart and soul, specially in love, very few are the lucky ones who are chosen by true love. And that' s where happiness is. If you have love, you have everything, happiness, peace, joy, but without love, everything is incomplete. As we all know, classic example of Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's story, since the time he left his love, Ankita, he wasn't happy despite of having everything and he regretted losing her and missed her till his last breath.
Never lose your true love!! Never give up on love before it's too late !!!
