It's August 22 and almost everything is as usual.
"Would you'll be able to reach home alone", said the bar shop owner. John who was merely in his senses replied ,"Ya I will, don't worry". As he walked down the stairs, he stopped and sat on them. Started to wait again as usual he used to do overtimes. Every night at 9PM, he used to wait for his ex-girlfriend who used to visit the church everyday. Every time he used to build up courage to go to her and say," I am sorry, can we start again". It was almost an year he had been doing this for. And again today, he couldn't build up that courage and started to walk to his house. On the way he saw an accident that had been taken place and the driver had died on the spot. He went their but as he was drunk so he didn't went too close. As he was returning, he saw a book, splashed with blood and some pages almost burnt. He didn't gave it to the police and took it him. At home, he opened the book and started reading it. It started with a big "WHY" written on the first page of the book. He continued reading it, it was that man's story whose name was Paul.
Paul wrote," Today I saw a beautiful girl in my class sitting on the front bench and felt like like yes, she's the one for me. But somehow I just couldn't talk to her. A week later, I was with my friend just roaming on the streets but God had planned something else. Accidently she was also roaming with her friend. As I mentioned that to my friend he just went straight to her friend and met her. I was totally shocked and then he told me that she used to be her classmate. I looked up straight in the sky and thanked Jesus for all this. Then we all started meeting together very frequently and developed a great bond within a short time. We just used to roam whole night together, exploring new places and sometimes going to Church and many more exciting things. After few months, one midnight I just confessed about my love for her. She also said 'yes' and then we started our beautiful journey together. It was almost an year together and everything was running smoothly but I think Jesus didn't wanted to take things to the way that we wished to. Her friend started talking negative things about me to her. And I don't know why she also believed in her all those rubbish things about me. We started fighting and didn't talk for few days. But as I said God had some other plans- I got an job offer from different state. But before leaving I thought to confront her and solved the misunderstanding. It was her one friend's birthday and no other day would be better than that to confront her. After the celebration I took her aside and started to solve the things between us. But rather than solving she just said," I didn't expect all this from you" and left from there crying. I felt like my whole world tilted upside down. I wished to stop her but somehow I don't know why I couldn't do that. It feels that I just accepted that thing and was stunned. Then I moved to another state and didn't tried to contact her. My all friends said that why don't you just try contacting her maybe she wanna talk. But I was in ego to not contacting first and ignored everybody.
After 6 months, I got and phone call from my friend as he spoked tears ran down my ears and I fell on my knees. He said, " she was coming to visit you and sort the things as you were not responding to anyone, and her car had an accident. Her car got rambled up by a truck and she...". Before he could finish that sentence I ended the call. I directly went to the hospital but was late. She died. What a world, I just couldn't see her for once, for one last time. From that day my whole world just changed completely. Still searching for that "why". Why God made me meet her. Why we fell in love. Why she listened to her stupid friend. And most important why I didn't kept my ego aside and went straight to her to fix the issues. I keep guiding everyone that don't waste time on just thinking do the necessary action required. Regret will make you feel this life like hell. Don't wait for the right time to come as it will never come and you will regret. Just go and express cause there is nothing permanent and anything can happen at any instance of time. It's "22" again, the date when I lost her, I just go to her grave and talk for a while with myself and regret." John closed the book, his eyes filled with tears and body trembling. He just went out to his ex-girlfriend's house and said," I am sorry, can we start again, I don't want to loose you, even after the breakup I always used to come see you at Church but somehow I just couldn't talk with you, today I am here and can we please". Girl cried and said furiously," Didn't I also used to come regularly to Church, I also used to come to just see you fool."
Then they went together and fixed the things. After that day they started visiting Church together and John thanked Jesus for all his guiding and blessing. He also went to Paul's grave and asked Jesus to give rest to his soul and land his soul in heaven and to complete his love story in his next birth on this very planet.
