Love Versus Time (Anjali Jha)

If God gave us some precious thing in our life then that is time. But time is limited for us and we have to do everything in our life in this limited time before it will escape from our hand and we can’t do anything even after regretting for it. So, time is precious let’s value it. In today’s life with our busy schedules we can’t give our precious time to our loved ones and to our family even we know that life is short and everything is unexpected here but due to our silly mistakes we always miss this opportunity. We always regret for our past after losing it.

Kartik was living in Allahabad of Uttar Pradesh. He was married and working in Telecom company on engineer’s post. His wife was also working in Naini in corporate sector. Naini and Allahabad both are cities of Uttar Pradesh and both are attached with each other through Ganga river. On one side of Ganga Allahabad is situated and another side Naini is situated.

One day in the evening Kartik invited his wife Sunaina on dinner. Both were working in two different companies and both were living in two different cities in two sides of river. So they decided to meet in between these cities. So today Kartik completed his work and went for dinner from his office. He reached the restaurant exactly at 7 pm as he informed his wife to come there at 7 pm. So he was in hurry and he thought maybe I will be late but he reached there on time. But he saw that his wife was absent there. So, he started waiting there. He booked a table in a restaurant and ordered the waiter to make the table more beautiful with flowers and candles. He made the scene more romantic. He started waiting for her. But when it was 8 pm then he became angry with her and he called her; but he controlled himself and asked her, “Where are you?” She said, “I am in Office, Kartik.” He was very angry but he couldn’t say a word to her. He asked about her arrival then she said, I am busy in some projects because they are talking for my promotion. So I am busy and I will come in some time. He hanged up the call.

Again after sometime, he called her then she said, “I am out from office and now I am coming. Wait for sometime Janu.” Then he took breathe peacefully that finally she is coming.

But when she came from office then it was 8 pm and at this time due to office persons traffic jams are common. Due to this from 8 pm it became 10 pm to reach the restaurant from Naini. When she reached there in restaurant then Kartik was also returning from the restaurant. Then she gave excuses for being late due to hectic schedule in office. As she was project head and she will be promoted in her company so it took more time to complete her work there and then she came here.

Then Kartik said, “It’s Okay. No problem we will come here some other day. Are you free the day after tomorrow?” Then she said, “No Kartik, I am not free that day. Tomorrow I have more works than today. I came today anyway just escaping some works, so I won’t come and I am sorry for that.” Then he said, “No issues don’t worry we will meet some other day. Let’s go our respective homes.” Finally they reached at their destination.

Life was going smoothly in their lives but do you know you can’t estimate the destiny’s deeds. You can’t estimate in which moment what will happen to you and to your loved ones and to your family. Life is unexpected and you have to accept this bitter truth of life. Sometimes you can’t imagine that what will happen to you and when it will happen to you because everything is unexpected. Because time is more powerful than us and we must have to value it.

After two months their meeting at that restaurant, one day he fell ill and when he diagnosed by the doctors then he came to know about Dengue. Yes, Dengue which is transmitted by a small mosquito which is several times smaller than human but sometimes it is more powerful than humans. Yes, a single bite is enough to end the life of human, so it is more powerful in front of humans and also more dangerous. Now he was suffering from Dengue and due to illness there was lack of platelets in his body. With each passing day his body became weak. He couldn’t walk properly now and couldn’t talk properly. With each passing day his condition was going worst and worst. He was losing his body flesh along with blood. Now he became completely weak and he was finally hospitalized. His eyes were sunken. His body colour completely changed into pale white. It looks he will die anytime.

One day when his wife got news of his illness then she came to meet him. She reached the hospital and went inside the room where he was admitted. She stood near Kartik. He was very happy after seeing her. Then he said to her, “Do you know Sunaina? I loved you from the time when I saw you for the first time in my colony. At that time I was only six years old. I don’t know what I saw inside you that I fell in love with you in the age when no one knows about what love is. I started loving you from that time. I always waited for you in my balcony to see you for a few seconds. I always waited for you whenever I play cricket match in the street. I loved you from the bottom of my heart. I went with you to the same school.”

“After that when you took admission in engineering college then I also took admission in the same college just confessing my father to give permission for study in that college even I knew that my father’s condition was not good and he couldn’t pay for me but for my happiness he sent to me in your college. In this way I completed my engineering degree and the day when we celebrated Farewell of our college with our friends. I proposed you that day and after getting job I got married with you. We both love each other infinitely but we had no time to come more close to each other from childhood to till now even after marriage. After marriage we both were busy in our jobs and we had no time to enjoy our personal life. We have always prioritise our professional life. I don’t know if it’s our mistake or it’s our destiny’s game but do you know now I don’t believe on destiny because we always do what we think so it’s not a game of our destiny. We can’t blame for this to our destiny. Loving someone’s body is not love but loving someone’s soul is love. If true love happens then it always happens with soul not with body. I loved you, I love you and I will love you forever. I can’t say how much I love you. I want to hug you tightly but I couldn’t because I am unable to stand from this bed. Last but not least please take this book Sunaina. This book is written by me Sunaina. Please must read this book at least one time. I can’t say more know. What I think for you and what I want to say to you, everything mentioned in this book and yes I love you Sunaina. I love you so much…………”

P…….P……….P ………..P………P……….P………………………………

Life is completely twisted only you have breathe and you are living on this earth after that if you leave this body then everything is just like straight line. Life will leave your body but not your soul.

Yes, when he said last time everything to Sunaina after that he died and he took his last breathe in front of her and in that hospital.

After his departure she opened his book and started reading in which he mentioned about ‘One Hundred One Times’ to confess her and to feel her how important she was for him. She read whole book in single sitting. After reading his book her eyes filled with tears and she started weeping loudly. She couldn’t hide her tears. She couldn’t hide her feelings. She couldn’t hide her emotions. Now nothing was in her hand and she couldn’t do anything. She lost the most precious thing of her life. She couldn’t get him back in his life. Now she had to live only in his dreams.

It’s not a story of only Kartik and Sunaina but it’s a story of several families and several lovers. They always loss their precious things as well as precious moments just due to lack of time for each other. In today’s time we are so busy in jobs and professional life and sometimes to make ourselves richer and to get our status among some rich persons of world that we have no time for our personal life. We often forget our relationship value. We often forget our opportunities what we got in our life. Among us maybe many people can’t give time in relationship. But for every relationship the most important present is time and we see that time is passing more speedily than what we think about it. Don’t wait for the right moment and don’t waste the moment just waiting for the right moment but invest and enjoy the time what you have in your hand. We all have limited time and even we don’t know when it will escape from our hand. So enjoy life in its limited time. Find the trick to make someone feel that he or she is special for you those who are with you. Find all those one hundred tricks to make them feel that they are special to you. No one knows that we will get this time again or not. So let’s enjoy this time and try to confess someone how special they are for you before the time escape from our hand. If something is limited for us is time, so it is very precious thing that we got and we must have to value it. We must have to gain this opportunity and we must have to enjoy before it leaves us and later on we have to regret for this. If it escapes from our hand then we can’t do anything even if we regret and promise to do anything to get it back in our life again.
