“Music is my soul mate. Without music I’m nothing than a mere
person. I’m already married to music and I don’t want anyone in my life.” Parul answered
stubbornly. Ajit tilted his head in one direction and gulped a sip of his
coffee. “I see. Parul, this is too much. Uncle and aunt are worried about
you so do I. Why do you keep refusing all the proposals? I get it that you love
music. That doesn’t mean you won’t think about your future. You have to marry
one day.” She had been avoiding that question for so long. She didn’t want to
marry someone now. Her heart was broken once and she can’t take the
risk again.
She never had a chance to confess her love towards Ajit.
They were childhood friends. They parted at the age of seventeen due to Ajit’s
higher studies in foreign. They vowed to meet again and in his absence she
realized her love for him, ever since she waited for the return of him. She
loved to scribble some poems in her free time. During those days she started to
compose some of her poems. Her waiting came to an end when Ajit came to meet
her after ten years. And one evening he confessed he had a girlfriend. Parul realized
Ajit always considered her as a dear friend. Heartbroken Parul went
on depression for several days.
One morning she took her diary and penned all her emotions in form
of poems. She won several contests and slowly gained the attention of audience.
She got a chance to compose music in an album. That year the album became a
huge hit. She stepped into Bollywood industry. Now-a-days Parul is
one of the top most music composer and writer in Bollywood industry. Music was
always a great distraction for her. Till now also she hadn’t collected herself
to think of marriage. She was yet to let go of the memories of Ajit. Now her
parents had sent him to convince her for a marriage proposal.
A thought came to her mind, “This is ridiculous. Once upon a time
I dreamed about marrying you and now you came to me asking why I don’t want to
marry?” A gentle squeeze on her hand brought her back from her thought. “Parul,
I think you are worried about your career. You can continue it after
marriage. Ria and I are happily married couple. Just give it a try.”
Ajit’s gaze didn’t leave her.
That moment her heart
wanted to scream “Only if you had understood me back then. I had waited for you
so long but you came to me with your life partner. Life can’t be so cruel with
me. I have found my harmony in music and I can’t handle more traumas. You
laughed at me when I told you music is my soul mate. You can’t imagine the
impact of music in my life. I’m begging you, don’t force me now.” A drop of
tear slithered down her cheek. His look transformed into concern, “I didn’t
mean to force you. It’s your choice and I’ll respect it.” She forced a smile
and replied, “I need some time.”
They leave the cafe after spending some time gossiping about their
childhood days. On her way back Parul thought, “You found your love
of life and I discovered my passion for music. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t
have realized the impact of music in my life.”
