ज़िन्दगी: A story unfinished..

Today.. I was fighting again. For a change, the tussle was within me. It was fierce and either side caused the same pair of eyes to swell on getting hurt. I was angry and there was another part of me which wanted to be sad. But I wasn't!!
It was 2 years ago.. I had to fly to Bangalore. I had planned to park my bike at the airport as I was returning the next day. There was this young boy in his teens reading at the ticket counter. There was something different about this boy- which made me search for more.
I had surprisingly come early to the airport so had the luxury of sparing a few minutes.(a first in my life!! I have a strange relationship with transport- its always a last minute thing. Someday I'll tell you the NDA exam story of the train that was not missed!)
A conversation began which lasted till the last of the security-check announcements. Sooraj came across as an intelligent person and sure promised to touch the sky. That too in fluent English! He was from a very poor family and working nights at the parking counter helped him pay for his studies. Sooraj had just entered undergraduate college.
After that 1st meeting, we developed a bond. An unnnatuaral one. I almost am certain he will make it big. Shared my books with him- gave him a few management exam books I had not cared to open. There were a few things about him which hit me. He had my number but he never called even once- not till the last. He knew I'll help but he didn't. Everytime I came back from a trip my bike stood there sparkling clean- not once did he claim he did it! Some more thot- he never asked too many questions. Would mean he never knew my arrival time and must have kept cleaning my bike all the while. Shit!! I am angry again! Will write more later..
A few days back I carried all the remaining books I had to hand over them to Sooraj. This time I was late & I was lucky I scraped thru. I had to fly to hyderabad on an official trip for 2 days and my bag was full. I dragged the suitcase to the parking counter and asked for Sooraj. The person just said he's kicked him out. I had no clue what to do. I was getting late- the person's demeanor said I would not get anything out of a convo here. So I ran for my flight. I was blank. Sooraj was gone and I was angry. A bit more than angry and I was lost.

Hope he calls one of these days.. Not to ask for something. Maybe to share something good.
