Money & Doubts

Two things that can destroy....

Well if you are under the impression that Jim is a hunk, then you got it wrong.

He was plain ordinary but what made him stand out is his Heart.

A golden one he had.

The one that I broke into a million little pieces.

    …………………………………………………………. 

 

Jim had been in my life for a brief two years but his memories have been with me all these years.

I tried to forget. To start afresh. But every time I do so, with startling intensity, memories rush back to me.

Memories I would rather not forget………

 

The District Central Park was buzzing with people.

And everybody seemed to be happy. Except me. I just failed another interview. And we badly needed money. I was crying my heart out holding Jim close.

“I am…. so….sorry” I whispered between a deluge of sobs. “I tried…..I tried my best….you know….. And I was so close……”

“Its okay sweetie……..It’s okay……..We will find a way……We will” Jim tried his best to console me.

I was shaking violently with blood shot eyes. Jim held my face up, wiped my tears and whispered softly.

“There is always a way out. We just need to find it. Crying won’t get us anywhere.We will make it work”

Saying this he planted a warm kiss on my forehead. Somehow that oozed out all my worries.

“I have you and you are way more precious than money.” Jim said with a wink.

 These words are etched in my heart forever.

                            ……………………………………………………………………………………

 

I was never satisfied with anything. I always grumbled about how Jim failed to give me a good life. 

And all these coupled with the doubts surging through my veins, I blindly believed that Jim was living his heart out while leaving me in the dark. 

Now I scream with shame every time I think about the pain I have inflicted on Jim. He slogged and slaved just to see me smile.

Walking out of his life I made money, the one thing I didn’t have, but lost Love, the only thing I truly owned.
