There are times in life when you are away from your family, your home town , your friends and without any friends in the place where you are. Times when you really need someone to share your happiness, your sadness and most importantly your loneliness. And I found myself caught in one such situation, it’s been 5 months someone close to me called me and felt I was in no man’s land. Standing on a beautiful road that cuts through a massive lake I tried calling my friends my family but only to find everyone was busy with some work and wanted to cut short the conversation.
I scrolled through my mobile to find anyone who will talk to me but in vain. Unable to take the loneliness I ended up throwing my mobile into the lake. An old man was watching me do all these things and walked towards me with a smile saying “I see myself in you now, too was left alone like this and then I found this and I forgot everything think you need this more than me now so take it and I’m sure you wont require that thing ever what you threw away now” and gave me the fishing rod what he was carrying to me.
I sat on the banks and as time passed by I understood that there is a friend who is always there ready to talk to us NATURE. She was talking to me with her small ripples on the water, laughing to my jokes when the birds chipped, send a cool breeze when I was sweating, send a cloud to block the hot sun. It’s been threes years now and I’m thankful to that unknown old man and he was right I will never need that thing what I threw again in my life.
