I held her hand firmly, knowing she was leaving me alone for the first time.
She told me not to worry as she would always be there as I look back, I was afraid to let go of her hand. She pressed it gently and told me that, I’ll find more hands to hold on to as I walked my way but, she also warned me to be careful. I started walking my way taking timid steps scared of every other person who came in my way. Then finally I felt the grip of my steps getting firm, and also got hands to hold on the way. I enjoyed holding hands with them as I went further, I got more hands to hold. It somehow felt amazing to be surrounded by so many people.
As I walked down my way dancing to the tune of the laughs and excitement, many more joined my way I never felt anything suspicious. I held all of them with me, really wanting them to get along as we walked the way together. Gradually the path was becoming narrower due to which I had to let go of some hands, yes it was hard but had no choice. Continuing my journey with whatever I was left.
This time the way was getting rough, it was hard to see the road any further, there were boulders that blocked the way seeing the gigantic obstacle I lost the grip of some more hands now only a single few were left. We held each other tight and crossed every obstacle that came our way. This time hoping that I’ll reach my destiny with the ones who really care.
Then came a place where there were different roads and the choice was ours which one to lead upon. I looked into their eyes and found out that it was time to part ways. They cannot be with me as they have a different road to take. Left with only one hand I eventually built up my trust very strongly, as up till now I had seen many faces and scenarios, that I lost all hope and energy to fight for anything any further. But still, I moved further as I felt the touch of the hand.
As we marched forward the path and the road became hazy. I still was going on hoping there would be a beautiful destiny as the fog would clear. I could hear the presence of some more people as we paced our road. And yes, we found some more people who were there, just there, reaching forward to us with their hands open offering to go with them. Unaware of the way any further we held their hands again in the hope of a better destiny. But their pace was not matching mine, I still clenched onto the one faithful hand, but somehow it matched their pace. It was becoming difficult for me to hold on any further and the grip was falling apart. I finally slipped off the hand and paused, I screeched and screamed, and cried but it had gone way far out of my reach.
And here I was standing nowhere, surroundings all faded away as it was all nothing but just a dilemma.
