It was in my summer break when I found a chain email in my inbox. I wanted to delete it without reading it, just like the rest, but I am glad that I did not. This experience was different and hence I wanted to share it with you all.
This mail neither prophesied bad luck to people who don’t forward it and nor did it have any motivational content. In fact, it was addressed by some lady (whose name I don’t want to reveal) requesting that the mail be reached to her friend, whom she misses the most.
I didn’t know the actual reason myself but the message she had written as to why she couldn’t speak to her friend touched my heart to the deepest.
This email shared her experience in life about what she did after her high school (I guess that’s when the girls parted) and how she managed to find a job, but couldn’t find happiness. The reason she gave was because she stole her best friend’s boyfriend. Yes, another love crap mail!
She says that it was never her intention to hurt her friend’s feelings but she found her true soul mate and couldn’t let go of him. She is living happily with him, now her husband, and her children but peace be found only if her friend forgives her.
This brought back a vague memory of a dear friend of mine from school. I once had a major fight with her for silly reason. Our friendship broke immediately and we lost contact after I left school. I forgot all about her, may be because it happened a long time ago.
I took my old school scrap book and punched in her number into myphone. I was redirected to her new contact details by BSNL operators. I spoke to her for one hour or so. I felt good after speaking to her. We planned to go shopping and the good old days were back in my life again.
I felt funny for this girl to remember that moment while I don’t even remember the boy’s name. Of course there is no evidence as to such that this “email girl” was the same one from my school.
The lady in her email enclosed her family photo so that her friend can find her at the earliest. Curious as my nature was, I opened the linked picture without thinking. I felt bad that I was getting too involved in other’s private life. That’s when I realised my mistake.
~~Half an hour later~~
“Love can solve any problem “I said gingerly trying to cool my brother.
We were sitting in my room busy formatting the system which was now infected with virus “It was not even in spam folder. I think Google thinks some love letters-“
“All love letters should be spammed. It’s easy for intruders to trap people like you”, my brother scolded, “It’s high time you realise that Love is the problem”
I took the software installation CDs and gave him “Yes, But I was able to meet a lost friend”
”You don’t have to crush your system to meet a friend”, he grumbled angrily.
“Crush?” I smirked.
“Quit bugging me”, he yelled as I ran out of the room.
