My New Life Style

"Come out soon." Shouted my friend when I was bathing. I thought that I would be hearing these kind of shouts only for a short period of time.

Because I got a job. I decided to shift to a new house where I could live happily with my parents. I entered into my job with lot of thoughts. I thought this job would be enough to satisfy all my needs. I was asked to join in a group to work. The only male in the group was me. As I was not allowed to speak with girls during my college time, I found it difficult to adjust to that situation. And unfortunately it was not my only problem to be solved. All the people working there used only branded products (like branded shoes, watches, shirts). Many male employees were having girlfriends to enjoy their week-end.

Only few people were working there like me without any girl as a friend or girlfriends. So we all become a gang. We started having a lot of fun together.But at one time I decided to move out of that gang because few of my friends started to drink, smoke and spend their money lavishly. Meanwhile, I developed a crush on a girl. She was so beautiful as per my vision. And I also had no other option because the rest were dating already. I decided to propose her.

I bought a rose and prepared my self to propose her. I went near her and suddenly my phone rang. Every one laughed at me because my ringtone was too stupid for them. It was my mom who was calling me. I answered the phone, shouted at her and cut the call. She again called in the night around 8 pm.

I answered the call and she asked,"Did you eat?"

I replied,"Hmmm..."

She said that she was missing me a lot and asked to return back to home. But I was not in a proper mood to hear her voice. She asked me to come home during the week end holiday.

I said, "I'll try my best." She compelled me to come because my paternal grandpa was not feeling well.

That night, I couldn't sleep well because I was thinking of my crush. The next day, I proposed her. She accepted my proposal. I felt that I have achieved something greater than anything else in my life.I shifted to a new house for rent (thinking that she wouldn't feel good to see me at a bachelor's pad). She called me for a date on Saturday. Forgetting my mom's words, I accepted it. I even started to spend money lavishly. I spent nearly ten thousand rupees in just a day with my girlfriend. I started spending every Saturday night with my girlfriend in pubs.

One Sunday morning, I dropped her at her place and returned to my house. I saw my cell phone with twenty missed calls from my mom.

I called her and asked,"What happened?"

She said,"Your grandpa has passed away."

I was shocked to hear that because my grandpa was everything to me in my childhood days. I rushed up to bus stop. I couldn't see even a single bus going to my village. The bus drivers were on a strike. I suddenly booked a cab and rushed up to my native village. I cried the whole night because I couldn't be with him in his last moments. The days went off. My boss asked me to return to job. And I did so. I came back to Chennai. My girl friend asked about this issue and I explained about it. She called me for a hotel that night but I initially denied it as I was running out of money during that time. But any how she managed to convince me. I spent nearly seven thousand for one night. We became intimate that night.

My mom called me one fine morning and I attended the call. She said me that she needs money to buy medicine for grandma. I sent that to her bank account. By that time, I didn't even have money to eat that night. I told these things to my girl friend. Unexpectedly, she fought with me and broke up because I had no money.

My mom called me once again and said that she had seen a girl for me to get married. Initially, I just shrugged it off because I needed to eat something. I borrowed some money from my friend and went to my native place. Later somehow my mom managed me to accept for marriage. I explained all my past bitter history of love with the girl whom I was going to marry. She accepted me.

Meanwhile, I was able to get a new job with higher salary. I brought my complete family to Chennai. And now I realized the true meaning of success.
