The Other Side Of The Story

It is very, very, very cold out here.

In fact, the word ‘cold’ is a misnomer; do you really want to know what is the actual temperature?

Well, it is very difficult for you to comprehend the coldness, because, you would never survive this level of cold.

But if you really want to know, well it is three digits, minus!! Meaning, it is close to 200 degree Celsius. Minus, you stupid!

I know it is very difficult to even imagine that level of cold, right?

I also know I am not alone; I have a couple of others like me huddled and waiting and waiting forever to see the light of the day.

I hold her responsible for my misery.

But? She is not bothered. Well, why should she be? From the look of it, she may not even remember me.; she kept on postponing the inevitable?

Her reasons?

She said she is not ready. Then came, you guessed it, her goals like starting her own company, World tour, building a palatial house all for herself, etc. But, they were long since been achieved!

Then, she made another list! This time, the list was even longer and so was the timeline; twenty years!

In between, plenty of false promises were made and then broken.

Here is the latest news of her life.

She got dis-engaged with her third boyfriend just last week. I don’t blame her, the guy was outright bad.

Men may come and men may go …. I shiver and shiver forever!

She made lots of bad choices and as time went by, she appears to be becoming desperate. Perhaps, it is the age that is catching up with her? I wonder.

The world has seen lots of up and down too in all these years. Years, did I say? It looks like ages to me.

Well, if all had gone right, I too could have enjoyed all the worldly pleasures; growing up to see the World like her! Working and enjoying life to the hilt. Who knows? Would have married and had children too…………?

Well, let’s leave that last one out.

Who knows I too would have fallen prey and did exactly like what she has done.

Coming back, had I changed my form, I would have voted not less than 5 times by now, and like every one of you guys, would have seen the flip side of life as well. The World turned upside down in these years; countries who were at the pinnacle of power have bitten the dust and others have risen like phoenixes.

And of course, the pandemic; who can forget it? Would I have fallen ill? Maybe, but that would still be better than living in this awful freezing world.

Some times, doubts linger in my mind every now and then…..has she forgotten me completely?

Or, has she decided to do away with me?

Humans are the weirdest of the lot; as they say, totally unpredictable.

I have lost count of time; shame on me!

How can I talk about the time where I live? The concept of time etc., are the parameters used on the other side.

What beholds me, is also scary at times; what if I were to see the light of the day and then suffer like everyone else in the World? Will I regret my transformation?

Honestly, I don’t know. But, one thing I am certain of is, I have a right, like everyone before me, to come out and face whatever consequences.

Who am I to decide? I am very much part of her, I know. But she has to decide, is it not?

After all, I am lying here in this cold storage in anticipation that one day, I will get converted into a human form.

As of now, I am just a frozen egg!
