The Chair
Leaving a place is something! Even if you hated that place for long something about it makes your heartbeat slower for a second. There is a place that I was living at since 4 years. A 1BHK in a small town. One of my professor used to live there earlier, I took the place after he left. One room full of drawing papers, colours, old assignments following by the wall of blue ferry lights which turned out to be defective from the very next day I bought it (I guess I lost the chemistry with blue lights in the first year itself) Then there was a kitchen where I almost never cooked and the Bedroom. Thanks to my parents I have had a decent bed, godspeed wifi connection & a loving neighbour providing me healthy meals everyday(too much for a bachelorette pad). And then, there was this perfect balcony which had a view of a mountain. Every person who used to visit me used to say one thing, ‘why don’t you get one chair in here? It’s a good view’ But I never got it. I don’t know why…maybe there was no specific reason. Now that I am all packed and ready to moved out of this place ,to go home. I gazed at the empty room and went to lock the balcony. A little fast-forwarded video rushed through my mind, compilation of all the memories. And then for a second I thought I missed the Chair. The thing which was not even there but everybody kept mentioning it. Maybe there is always something which you never own or you never have but you will miss it. Strange it is!
