The Flickering Bridge of Hope

 

The flickering Bridge of Hope

As my steps trodden towards unknown destination, I kept thinking and mumbling to my own self. The company i built for so many years became broke, Jaundre my husband whom I was married fir 10 years, divorced me soon after, and as if it's not the end of the world another catastrophe hit my life, my house shambles into pieces because of big tranado.  Other people from my neighbours moved to their friends and family, but where will I go… I was reserved & discipline person ,with less friends around me, working tirelessly for my passion I met Jaundre few months ago, I trusted no one but him… in few time of our meeting we got married,  and my business began booming.. but the news of my company became broke was shocking. 

With broken mind, soul and body I walked aimlessly,  then I saw a signboard “The flickering Bridge of hope” I began moving there with an idea to end my life, since I have nothing left.  As I reached the middle portion of the bridge,  beneath the bridge was deep lake of Arena. Looking at the view there was sudden great big fireworks 🎆 (as if I know and feel my life biggest explosion), watching it and getting lost in my thoughts,  then I notices a young couple fighting over. Gosh how I was never able to clear my point, with things I wants and how I want it.. ! (I thought), having continued with their argument that couple left. 

Then another couple appeared in scene (as if one argument wasn't enough to disappoint me), that couple was having argument about starting a family, having another little soul,  the husband was trying t9 convince his wife, the woman seems career oriented and she wasn't ready for it (gosh did I tried talking to Jaundre about having a family) maybe our marriage could have lasted then…shaking my head then coming back to own life and what was I thinking to end my life. I was convincing myself “let's end it here” but suddenly there was a tap on my shoulder. A woman around 40's was standing next to me. Her blonde hair ,till shoulder and as if the wind was caressing her with warmth “thinking of ending your life” she said to me… shocked And surprised 😮 u nodded in affirmation.

Although I am not well aware of what you been through (she said), but ending your life won't resolve anything,  things do come an end but only for new and better beginning.. a smile spread on her face… she continued talking, 3 years ago I came here to end my life as well and I almost did… but my mother called me ,asking me to see her. Somehow after I lost my job, and my ex cheated on me and also took away all the money, I went to see my mother in my hometown.. there I met my childhood friend,  he sorted out everything with me and for me. Though I really wanted to avenged my ex for his cheating and making me broke,  but I realises my childhood friend had me in his heart since long anf never confessed and later I felt the same. Later I married him and I am sincerely grateful for things that happened. Far from behind a man was coming toward us holding two ice cream cones and greeted me warmly after handing out one to his wife. That woman turned round to me and said think again… there might be new beginning of your life.. but to start, one has to end… 

Bhoom! Another fireworks 🎆 begins with this I felt (The fireworks welcome and congratulated me)....
