A Cup Of Coffee

What if I leave this world? What if all of my problems fade away in just a single step? What if this, what if that. We all wonder for such thoughts grooming in our mind suffering in our most problematic situations.

One such girl too, heads over this phase of life.

Sophie, a sweet, decent, shy, and a typical obedient bachelor. A week ago I met her at the 'Sweet Cafe'.

As I entered through the gate, I saw her on the left window table. Her face well disclosed her pain which she had kept inside her, on the table laid 5 cups of coffee. I was shocked to see, the girl who hardly drank 2 cups of coffee by the whole working day had finished 5 cups. I genuinely couldn't believe my eyes.

I walked towards her, sat beside there & started a friendly chat.

Hi, how's you? You were about to get married, what's the status of that? And what's this, 5 cups? Were you here with someone or you had them all by yourself?

Listen, I know I'm just a college mate of yours but I'm a friend too. After placement, everything changed right and from then I'm seeing you here, I'm continuously asking you if everything's fine or not? See if you feel comfortable you can share it with me. Maybe I sound helpful to you and sort out your problem.

"So would you"-- saying just this I stayed calm, I hope that she would say something but there was still silence, she was gradually staring at the window. At that point I found ok to walk away, maybe she would have a personal issue with her fiance.

I was about to get up, when I felt a slight hold over my hand. I looked at that and sat down back. Turning her face towards me in a low light tone she said "Everything's over now". I saw her eyes & was dazed to see that they were filled with big bubbly tears & were just about to drop down. I stood up hugged her wiped her tears and asked her what was hurting her so much. You were deep down broken and you never spelled anything, sit here and tell what's eating you from inside.

By the time the waiter arrived, I ordered 2 cups of coffee.

I'm so stressed, I don't know what to do, I don't even know how I'll manage everything. Help me Amayra. My fiance left me two days prior to our wedding & the loan taken by dad is so much now I continuously see him going into depression & it's all coz of me. He had arranged a lot of loan for my wedding & what happened all got vanished, everything got vanished, I destroyed everything. I'm so helpless. I even don't have my job too as my in law's had requested to quit it. I can't help my dad in these harsh days. Even just coz of me, he has to listen to society's evil chatter.

I would have been better if I had left this selfish world & rest in the world where no one could tease or taunt me and my dad for broken marriage and being called as "AP-SHAGUNI KANIYA" who never did well for her family.

The way she yelled this, it felt like it was not her who was saying , it was her heart which was bursting with regrets, insecurity, fear, and mostly shame.

Shame- which this society had given to her without knowing the whole situation.

Seeing her shattered into pieces, I only had a question to me & to everyone,

"Why does a boy only have the right to leave or accept a girl?

Why at the name of marriage the boy's family demands to quit over a girl's wishes dreams and many more?

Why inspite of some male's fault, we always blame a girl for broken marriage, deaths, still birth, and giving birth to female child.

I was angry at all this, but I had to give strength and courage to her, so I stayed calm.

By the time coffee had arrived, I pointed my finger towards it and asked Sophie , do you what is it?

What a silly question, ofcourse I know it's a coffee.

I smiled a bit & said it's not just a coffee it's more worth than this. It's an emotion.

An emotion that have the power to turn everyone's mood and mind.

This coffee is not that seed which gets plucked off the plant, instead it takes months to get its fine flavour, the coffee planter waits for months to feel the texture and ger the glorious smell of it. One bad day can destroy the hardwork of a planter,

You have to be like this, you may have many problems in your life but by your one bad decision can destroy the wishes of your dad, have you wondered how will he face you if you will destroy yourself like this.

Work hard get back to your job redeem the loan, love your life, not everyone is lucky as you to get a life.

Well, have you wondered ever, why a depressed person always sips coffee instead they can go with other options too.

It's just coz the feeling the vibration which arrives while drinking coffee cannot come with anything other means of drink.

So try to be like this it's only the one which could swing any one's mood in just seconds.
