What if what wasn’t meant to be was actually meant to be.

An anomaly.  A chance. A difficult choice. A close save. An (un)avoidable accident…

There comes a time when we are asked to make a choice, a choice that is very crucial that could decide, probably our future per say. It’s either or b, unless there’s and d. How hard can it be, right? We solve this complication say from experience, from the past, taking help of people who might have had the similar question, a similarly experienced person, likewise. So, with the future at stake and a mind full of determination and heart full of hope, we pick the most favorable one. We are happy with the decision, we already are plotting our next steps, making notes, updating calendars, getting ourselves ready for the curtains to rise up. But then at the very last moment, someone raises a doubt, a simple question that swirls back us into dilemma. We are stuck in a tornado torn between choice(s) while also struggling to breath. We finally see a next best alternative. We are pretty sure that if the first one didn’t pan out, this definitely would. But we had made up our mind, the first one. Even it means that we are going down, we will take it, risk it, and stand with our choice, because no matter what, no matter the consequences, we feel content with the choices we thus made and we know we are confident and strong enough to brave it. The rest is a sweet journey, we had always thought it would be.


What if what was meant to be wasn’t actually meant to be.

Wait, what is this? Isn’t it the same?
Let me ask you something, is it the same climbing up as it is climbing down? Let’s take a minute to sink in.
You are having a bad day, a terrible day actually. Nothing has gone according to how it should have. Out of no where, you feel a swift breeze of fresh air and you see her. (Please note that ‘You” is a guy, so lets say ‘you’ are the guy here. If you aren’t for real, then wear those guy’s Nike shoes, just for a minute. What? They fit? Didn’t you find your midnight Prince Cinderella? You’re welcome! ) You know her, she knows you and you talk to her for a brief amount of time. You feel that someone, something, perhaps that breeze is taking away the wary thoughts. You no longer feel the agony that was eating you up inside. You realize it a moment later. You try to understand the science behind it, no, not because you are science student and believe that there is always a scientific explanation to everything, but just out of curiosity, because those few moments were actually the time the gravity actually worked and the timidness was absorbed. (No, don’t do it, don’t bring physics into this. This is biology and chemistry, just stick to it.) You feel that sort of connection, you really really feel that this person is the one. So, you dare and one thing leads to another, perhaps the similarities, or the choices, or the nature, and you complete each other’s sentences. But, (Yes, I am sorry but there is a but) one fine day the similarities are the differences, the choices are the frowns, the sentences are abuses and… (you get the gist, its’s a fucking nightmare).  And you sit with a glass in hand, the ice melting in your heat of the damp atmosphere, and you question everything, the decisions you made, the choices, the promises, the compromises, what not. But (yes, another but, because I am a Disney fan)… but you make up, apologize, smile at each other. May be it never happens again. But, (this but because I am Game of Thrones fan too, sorry) what if it does.

Yes, before you point out the obvious, there is always a way, a choice that would have an happy ending, but I want you to ponder over the slightest of the slightest dilemma called
“What if?”

  1. Though the content was great too, but your way of narration – it swept me off the ground. I loved it. I honestly did.
    The sentences in bracket made me chuckle. They kind of gave life to your writing. 😀
