Friend requestA Story by Pravir humanity follows love I was
returning home after a long tiresome and monotonous day. Being a software
engineer it is not easy to sit in front of the desktop for that long eight
hours. Its not that I hate my job but I don’t have much passion for this, I
followed the path that my parents showed and never thought much about it. After having
dinner I opened my laptop for some refreshing. I usually spend some time on the
facebook as it’s a great place to relive old memories and connect to new world.
I saw There was a new friend request from ‘Manisha kulkarni’. I checked her profile , she was really looking beautiful in her profile pic with goggles.she was from delhi and was doing history honors. I really had no idea who she was…. But accepted the request,thinking that she might be knowing me . Few minutes
later I got a message “hii….” It was from Manisha “heloo…. Do
you know me”, I replied “why ….????you
don’t talk to strangers or what..” she said What a weird
reply was that. I thought it must be a fake id…. Someone must be trying to fool me. So I
ignored it and waited for a while… but could not resist my curiousity so
replied. “sorry its
not like that.. I thought you may be knowing me that’s why” “its okk.. I
am Manisha from delhi and m new to this .Well I love to make new friends . I
feel so adventurous to talk with unknown peoples. Its so great to know the
culture,thinking and traditions of peoples coming from different backgroundJ” she said “wow ….. i
must say that u have a different yet very interesting way to live life… by the
way, there is nothing much to know about me…… I am a 26 yrs old fat boring
software engineer ….” I said “well on
that case I will say that no one is boring,… everyone has their way of living
life…. I want to live my life as the most happiest girl of the world….hehehe”
she replied “ actually I
dont have much friends, I live here alone….. so get bored… just want a break
from this city’s crowd and my monotonous life…” I said “ohh.. then
go date a girl… make frndzz … enjoy life man …. hahahaha” she said “I m disaster
in impressing a girl…. Anyways it was nice talking to u …. Have to sleep nw…
gunnait frnd” I said “ohoo…shy guy … have a gud sleep .. gdnt swt
drmzzz “ she said There was
something in this girl which attracted me towards her. She seemed so much satisfied
from her life. I felt so much energetic after talking to her. The next day
there wasn’t much work at office and to be honest I wanted to continue my talk
with Manisha. She was also online, I typed “hiii
there..!!!!” “hey amit…..
wats hpng??” “nthing
great …. At the office… wht abut u”I said “working on
some of my writings….. hey did u approach any girl“ she said “how can I
???? I barely know any of my female colleague… “ I said “ ohooooo….. instead of thinking so much,…
just go talk to any of them make friends,….. have fun “ “ I believe
in those relations which are connectd from heart “ I said “ wow…..
great dialog ….. I like it”she said We started to talk on a daily basis…. Then slowly we became good friends ….. she used to tell me everything she did from morning to evening… there was so much in her life to express…. And I only loved to listen her each and every gossip…. I don’t know which relation was between us…but it became my important part of daily life to talk to her…. She was the only girl who made me feel relaxed after the whole days work. One day I asked
her “hey can I get
ur phone no. ….. I want to hear u voice…..?????” I asked She didn’t reply, i waited for a while and
then again said “sorryyy… if
ur not comftble, its okkk…” After about
an hour her reply came . “Actually my phone was in silent mode. this is my no 9563028375 … ping me” she said The next day
I called her.. with a lot of hesitation and excitement I was waiting to hear
her voice. “helloo..
who is this” a very soft voice replied “may I talk
to Manisha …. I am amit” “ which amit
… I don’t know sorry….” Said the voice I quickly disconnected the phone. I rechecked
the no. again it was the same…. Next moment I got a call from the same no.
Again the same voice said “what
happened mister…got puzzled… hehehe. I was just fooling u” she said The first
thing which I told her was “u knw what
, u have a great voice….. “ I said I think this was the moment when I fell for
her for the first time…. I was just getting addicted to her sweet voice. We
used to talk daily…. Sometimes I wanted to express my fellings for her…. But
the fear of losing never let me to say…… this was happening for the first tym
in my life…. But Manisha has been once in relationship,but she broke up and
never said anything about the reason. She used to sing songs … sometimes I also
sung for her and she always appreciated. Although I had very bad voice. Finally I
decided to open up and take this relation to a new level.so I called her “hey….
Wanted to say u something” I said “yaa dear
say na …. Keeping so much suspense.. whts that??” she said “ look I
think I have a soft corner for u…. you always said me na.. go approach a
girl….i wanna take you on date CAN WE MEET????” I asked The phone got disconnected …. I called again.. but no one picked…. After another ring the phone was switched off……i got tensed. Why did she reacted like this…. After six months of our friendship. Don’t I have this much right to ask her…. I gave her all the rights of my life , can’t I deserve this much. She always showed show much care and affection …sometimes she even scolded me when I had cough and ate ice-creams….. if she had to go one day like this then why did she come in my life….. why did she show me a new way to lead life… to relive and cherish every moment ….. Suddenly my
phone beeped. There was a new message.. It was mainisha “I know
amit….u must be mad at me….. yes I don’t have the right to leave you in such an
awkward situation… after all u r my best friend…. But you only know what I have
told u….. u don’t know anything about my life….. my life is only restricted to
my WHEELCHAIR…. My both legs are paralyzed…. Few years back I met with an
accident in which I lost my family and my all happiness…… my boyfriend ditched
me saying he has his dreams to fulfill and don’t want to waste his whole life
with a handicapped…..please forgive me…… its true that I also loved the time
spent with you … but don’t want to be burden on youu…stay happy and blessed…” I was dumbstruck …. My life shattered in front of my eyes … I reconnected her phone…. But she had blocked me….. I took her address from facebook and without thinking a moment I boarded to the next flight to delhi… It took me few hours to find his address… I knocked at the door , “is this
Manisha Kulkarni’s house???” I asked the lady who opened the door “yes …. Plzz
come in sir??”she asked I entered
the house, a lady was sitting in a wheelchair and staring outside the window,
she turned back and a smiling face invited her to a new life…. “hi mani…. I
have brought two magical legs for you from Hyderabad….. they will walk each and
every step with you and will never leave you whatsoever be the situation” I said
with wet eyes…… She opened
her arms and said “ I trust u my love….. sorry dear …. i got scared“ I hugged her
and said “ I love you tooo…. Never leave me ever….”
