Life is an endless journey

Six months later

I was glancing out of the window to excavate something to hold then my vision landed on the birds, how they were flying high like the way I am believing right now.

And when I think of the past I need to do one thing, I need to write on paper right now, what I am feeling cannot be written afterwards, it is needed to be written down now.

The months have changed years have changed too, I have changed again. Julia, who was a little child evolved into a woman and then she is going to change again.

I have always done what my heart told me to do, you will do the same I know. I have conquered how this process works. And yes it's not mathematics, or geography to understand. It is basic humanity.

When I look back to those days when I was no one, well actually I was still the same girl. However, for society, I was no one. I have not won a presidency of our country now, still, there is something when everyone looks at me, their eyes spark more than mine, their heart fills with pleasure more than mine which makes me realise you have to do what your heart is telling to do, otherwise you will always be regretful.
I have seen people who didn't follow their hearts and became regretful later.

And I know you will never know about  grandpa who told me everything, but maybe from this letter, you have some remittances of him in my memory from yours.
He taught me everything and I always remained his favourite child, but I want to point out its adequate too when you didn't become anybody's favourite child, it adequate too when you take time to build your things, after all, everything is a process.

The gap which I felt in the society has never changed, rich people always degrade those who work in their homes, people die, fight every day to earn a meal to eat, but there are times when these workers have the power to rule the world, I know they will do one day, Look at me now. I am ruling my world.

There will always be people to hurt you and put you down, to bully you to do everything to downgrade you but there will always be some who will be with you at no cost, who will do everything for your pride, and these are those people who have a golden heart, a heart that is given to only limited people, but I know you will be stronger than I because you belongs to me.

Yes, I have never thought about belongingness and its depths but when I do look at everything around me it makes sense, everything makes sense to me.
Just like the way the rain belongs to the land to satisfy the thrust of it while doing everything to protect the land, like the way the sun burns itself to fall shine on us so that its child would not become blind, because they belong to each other, and in the belongingness, we sacrifice ourselves to protect the other, that's why I am going to protect you.
Protect you till my last breath.

Your mother
Julia

I stood up to glimpse at my huge belly, life is breathing inside me. And I have no words to formulate anything.

Time has changed again, we have engrossed more in the digital world but there is something about letters that sinks into the heart. The bold syllables when get written with black ink makes me feel in a different aura, in an aura where there is no beginning and end.

Mama and papa are living in Delhi, the city I admire but I am in Mumbai, at the place where the story of my life began.

The waves of the beach always astonish me with their vulnerability. Always telling a story that it doesn't matter how much filth you have on your feet; there will always be waves to wash it off. You can never run away from them.

Sarah has learned her lesson, she never acknowledged her presence to me again, Neel told me that she went back to California to live with Samuel.

Adequate for her.

Alisha and Tony have shifted to Mumbai near where Neel and I live.
After spending years in California she decided to shift to India and why not? Who would not fall in love with the cities in which we reside, the salty fresh air whenever touches my face makes me whisper his name again and again.

I still remember that day when I proposed to Neel, he was so nervous at that time shaking from head to toe, for a long moment he couldn't believe in his eyes so I had to stomp on his foot hard, making him almost fall on the floor, but I was determined to murder him if he ever thought to decline my proposal. However, to my utter amazement, I saw tears in his eyes. Those hazel green eyes were storming that day. He didn't say anything, didn't gaze at me, only bowed in front of took me by amazement. When everyone's eyes were on us he grabbed my hand and entangled our fingers, just the way he uses to do.

"Why?"

"Because you love me..."

"And how do you know that??"

"You didn't leave. You were there all the time with me, you didn't leave when I was fighting with my life. You did everything for me, how could I not fall in love with you again??"

Abruptly no one was between us anymore, we were alone again staring at each other and the world behind us was too small to even think about it.

And now when I think about that day, I only laugh sheepishly, Arnav never had any courage to do anything, he knew that it wasn't love so he left, and I am glad he did what was right at least at the last time.

Mom and dad also realised who was right for me, the one who was with me all the time, not the one for whom business was important. Wealth and prosperity will come and go but love?? Love needs to remain the same.

We became husband and wife on the same day and then there was no end to our journey.

When I look back at the journey of my life, I didn't perceive ruthlessness anymore, I am pleased with whatever I did.

Today is my baby shower, Alisha is organising it and Jessica is just going to arrive from California.

When I think about California more, I think about the life it gave to me. I have never thought some places can give you extraordinary people to change your life.

And it did change my life, change for good.

The stars were blinking outside, I know grandpa is looking at me, he is delighted to see. his Julia is in the process to bring a new life to this earth.

The moon was grinning too with its blaze falling its shine through the window on me making my heart furious even more.

And under the moonlight, I felt the first time presence of our child within me.

"Julia?"

Neel was all dressed up wearing the navy blue suit just the way I admire, glancing at my eyes with the emotions which I will never be able to feel again.

His eyes were a deep ocean to my heart, making me swim all over again in them.

"Neel?"

"Let's go now.."

"Where?"

"To the infinity..."

He encircled my waist and kissed my forehead, walking with him filled me with so much thrill again.. we looked at each other again while closing the door behind us.
