I have a cousin sister. I used to interact with her a lot till 2010. I used to call her once a week and she called me in return but time changes every relationship. Now we are not in touch. Later we only meet in a couple of parties in six months and interaction was below average. I never took a simple measure to mend this broken relationship. 2010 was a horrible year for me. Why? You can find it in my story “Why does god not listen to my prayers?” I went in the state of depression. I needed somebody to share my hidden feeling but had no one. My appearance on Facebook and twitter got decreased. I was not accepting friend requests. More than fifty are still pending. I read peoples posts but didn't commented or press the like button. People thought I vanished from social networking planet. I had appropriate reasons to justify my action.
This persistent journey of loneliness had no signs of fading. I made loneliness my girlfriend as it was easy to get along with and she would never leave until I don't want. Two years passed by. My father was detected with cancer. I used to receive his phone calls as he was unable to speak.
One evening I was browsing the internet. Suddenly the phone rang. It was an unusual event for me because it used to ring a couple of times in a month. I glanced at the number which flashed on the screen. It was a new one. In slow motion I pressed the green answer button.
"Hello" was the first word which came out of my mouth. I heard a girlish voice which questioned me whether I was Navin. Who could be she inquiring about a lost guy who was alone in this whole world. It reminded me that I was not forgotten.
"Yes I am Navin" I replied. "Who are you" I asked her.
"Dolly" She replied. My brains took some time to gather information and to process it. I have a slow microprocessor fitted in my brain. The information provided by the brain reminded me it was my cousin sister. This conversation fixed our obstacle relationship. I forgot the pain I was going through. Sometimes sweet words are enough to ease the pain. After that she called me a couple of times but I didn’t call her once. I stick to my habit.
After one month she called and asked me to add her to my Facebook profile. She had difficulty finding me. I found her and sent her a friend request. She added me to her profile in a couple of minutes. After this event I never exchanged a single message with her. I think this agitated her. I just read her posts to get updated. Six months later I was scanning my friend list. When I came to the end I could not find her. I thought I missed her name. I again scanned the list from top to the bottom. Same result. Her name was missing. I couldn’t believe my eyes. My brains told that she deleted me but my heart told vice versa. I gave priority to latter. I again scanned the list from top to bottom. I even searched her name in the search box. The result was null. Now my brain overrides my heart. I felt bad. Nature reciprocated. Nature wanted two way communication. She provided me two modes but I was unable to recognize it. That was not the end.
I was a beginner to whatsup app. One day I was exploring its features. There is a contacts button at the top. I pressed it and started scanning the list. I found her because she was in my phone contacts. I didn't waste a single second and sent her a friend request to add me. I waited for a week but there was no response. The waiting period was making me anxious. All sorts of negative thoughts started pouring my mind. Later I started sending messages to her. A couple of day latter I tried sending her a message but could not. I tried figuring out why this awkward problem was coming. I searched Google. One by one I started going through blog posts. Several blogs stated that she has blocked me. I was shocked. Nature reciprocated again. She gave me two chances to correct myself. I didn't take advantage of them. I am the person to be blamed.
Nature reciprocated again. Do you agree?
