Hi Ketan,
I want you to do a small favor to me. Please give the letter to Sheetal. I cannot meet her or speak to her. I hope you will do it. Sorry for the trouble. Thank you.
Letter to Sheetal My Dear Best Friend Sheetal,
How are you? I hope you are happy in your own world. I really thought to meet you personally but I was not having the courage to come over to speak to you. I know everything between us is over.
It is more than two years now we knew each other. Even I can recollect the date when we first met or when we first interacted with each other. I remembered all these days just because it involved you in it. These last two years can never be forgotten by me. You always made me feel that I belonged to this world and you always motivated me in some way or the other. It is due to you I was able to regain my confidence which I had lost. I can just say you were the sunshine in my life.
You knew I had lots of problems in my life. Even after that you had the patience to hear my words so that you can guide me properly. Whenever I had to face a problem I never used to get afraid of it, because back in my mind I knew you were there. I used to get emotional for no reason but you used to tell me "Karthik dont worry everything will be alright". I had also reciprocated to our friendship by helping you in whatever way possible. Sometimes even I used to give solutions to your problems. Then you used to smile and say "Thanks a lot Karthik you are a gem". The friendship which we shared with each other can never be described in words.
The days we spent together by just speaking for long hours, the gifts which we shared with each other, the numerous friendship poems which we must have shared with each other, the moments of surprises which we gave to each other can never be erased from my memory.
The two years passed by but our friendship blossomed by every passing day. I am sure if there is friendship in this world then it would be named after us not even after Jay Veeru of Sholay.
But fate had its own wishes. From last two weeks you hardly spoke with me. Whenever I used to try and interact with you, you somehow made some excuse and vanish away. I tried many times to ask you what is the misunderstanding. I begged in front of you, but nothing happened. One fine day I got a chance to speak to you. I can thank God for this opportunity. Atleast I can try to find out the reason of our misunderstanding. I am still juggling with the words which you spoke over phone that day
Ring Ring Ring...The phone rang. My heart must have pumped more blood this time.
Sheetal you picked and with your sweet voice you told "Hello Who is this?" I was surprised, how come you didnt had my number. many questions popped in my mind, but the only thing which mattered was to clear the misunderstanding. With full of excitement I said "I am Karthik, Sheetal How are you?" . There was a pause of some 5-10 seconds. Then came your voice. "It shouldnt matter to you.I am not interested to keep any contact or relationship with a loser like you.I want to be FREE from your useless friendship. I dont want to be in the clutches of your useless friendship". My voice trembled even more and I asked "What happened , can you please tell me what is the problem. If I did any mistake please forgive me. Can you please explain". You spoke very fast "I dont want you in my life any more. I dont like you. Please leave me and dont contact me again". Then you banged the phone.
Sheetal I have no idea what has happened. But if I did anything which you didnt like, I am really sorry for that. Please forgive me. I will never come back to your life again. I am feeling like a sinner when you said our friendship is a useless friendship. I didnt feel bad when you said me as a loser but you treated our friendship as useless. You told me that I should leave you FREE. You were always free, but now you will be free from me permanently. I cannot even imagine a life without your wonderful friendship. You had, you are and you will always be my friend. Eventhough you have cut our relationship from your end, but I will always be your friend. Deep within I will always have the respect for you. But you leaving me in between like this cannot be digested by me. I am going to end my Life today. As soon as I go to heaven I will ask God to fulfil all your wishes and desires.
What happened after1) Sheetal got the letter but it didnt matter to her what has happened to Karthik.
2) Karthik attempted suicide by jumping from the balcony. But it didnt end in a suicide, on the contrary he lost both his legs.
3) Why Karthik attempted suicide is it because a) Was Karthik in love with Sheetal or b) Was it the loss of a deep friendship or c) Was it the broken trust which Karthik experienced with Sheetal or many other questions. Karthik never said to me what is the reason.
4) Sheetal is happy with her own life. I even heard that she has a boyfriend now.
5) Karthik is working in a small firm.
Moral : Sheetal is FREE from the friendship, but Karthik is crippled for his lifetime to the wheelchair clutches. It is very difficult to understand relationship.
