Why is life cruel for some and an
expensive gift to some? Why few people are there just to face the harsh
realities whereas few doesn’t even know the meaning of problems? Some are always
starving for the best things around them and some can’t even handle the things
they have, being in abundance. Some are flooded with the miseries and problems and few are flooded with the happiness
and blessings. Life is not uniformly distributed among the man kind, it refuses
to give people the equal amount of joys and sorrows, and it doesn’t give
everyone the equal share of opportunities and probabilities. The question is
WHY?
With all these things running in my
mind, I was busy sipping the coffee, which I bought from the café of my
college. Then suddenly my thoughts got interrupted with a voice coming from the
extreme corner of the café. That was my class fellow shouting my name at her
highest pitch possible, VERONICAAAAAAA, Veronica…… I thought she got into some
trouble and that is the reason she wants me to be there. Immediately I ran into
that corner where I saw few more class fellows sitting and doing some assignment.
That was the assignment which we got a week back and they are already late to
submit it. And finally I realized that she was shouting for my help in her
assignment as I had already submitted mine during the last week only. I helped
her and as I got up to leave she pulled me back and made me sit on the chair
again.
To my surprise, she asked me if she can
help me with something as she could guess that there is some problem with me
since few days. I couldn’t control my tears and just burst out in front of her.
She consoled me and told me that I can share my things without any fear and
hesitation. I felt little cozy in her surroundings and since I needed somebody’s
ear dreadfully so finally she proved to be a rescue for me.
I told her that I lost my mom last month,
who was battling for life since a year. And now I have no one in this
entire world whom I can look up to. The part time work which I am doing to earn
my living is not enough for me to survive as I have to manage rent and the college
fee and every other daily expenses which cannot be avoided. Also my mother left
behind a bank loan, which I only have to pay now. Although I am planning to
move to a smaller apartment or may be a room because this big apartment is
something I cannot afford nor I want now, but I could not find any, against my
all efforts. She gave me a friendly hug and ensured me that she will do
something about it and that too soonest possible. At that time I told her to
keep it as a secret to herself only as I never wanted to have the sympathies of
the other college mates and those unfortunate sights for me to make me feel
even deprived and broken. She guaranteed me that she will deal the issue as silently
as possible and surely come out with some solution at the earliest.
After talking with her, I felt light
and also got a ray of hope that may be there will be a solution to my problems
soon. Although I know that my life wont be without problems but I was hopeful
that there will be some relief and I can get some cushion to my struggling
life. With all these things running in my mind, I thought that today may be I get
a better sleep. And while thinking that I will be a better off person, with all
the conditions applied to the miseries I am into now, I don’t know when I fell
asleep. In the morning when I woke up I have realized that I must be weeping in
my sleep coz I had dark circles and big bags below my eyes and also my cheeks were
having the signs of the tears. With a negative though early morning regarding
the miseries and no end to them, I felt really broken and without the desire
for life. I were just living without any positive thing happening to me or
around me so I was almost dying everyday inside me.
After 3 days, Rhea again came as a savior
to my dying desire for life. She gave me a good news that she could find a
solution to my problem and she left the decision to me to take that as a
solution or not. Actually there was a twist in her solution too.
She approached Joy, the most wanted
hunk and the most eligible bachelor, of our college. He was one among the richest guys and
the heartthrob of many girls being the captain of the basketball team. He had a
huge apartment in which he was living alone and also he wanted a house help and
a cook for his apartment. Rhea did a deal with him that if allows me to stay
with him in his apartment, in one of the rooms, I will in return do the
household work and also manage cooking for him. And in that way, both of us
could get rid of payment mechanism. Actually she was trying to enter both of us
into some kind of barter system wherein I was expected to exchange my services for getting
a place to stay, free of cost. And I must say, Rhea was a great marketing
person with huge talent of convincing others. And that way, Joy could
easily agree to her terms. And without missing the fact that she has to be secretive on her this mission, she never mentioned about me as a girl
sharing the same class with her and the same college with him. All she said was
that a known person is in need. Now the ball was in my court to play. I was
left with a tough choice to make!
