Ability to forget

I never thought I will meet him again. Actually I never wanted to meet him. But today when I met him accidentally, after 9 years, it was very emotional. He just jumped on me and hugged me tightly

I still remember his helpless face when I dragged him out of the sea. He was repeatedly saying only one thing till we reached the hospital. “Of all the things I could do for her she wanted only one thing for her to be happy. ..go away from her, forget her”. I was really confused whether I was helping this young boy or not. I understood that I failed his attempt to escape from the pain and helplessness he was going through. As soon as his parents came I left the hospital.

Even though that was the only time we have met, we could identify ourselves at the first sight after this long 9 years. Same place where I first met him, Sea was roaring. He was hugging me tightly. Hi, How are you? I asked him. He released me from his tight hug and said “You have done the best for my parents. But I couldn’t enjoy the life you gave me. I am not blessed with the ability to forget.”

I couldn’t tell him anything. Sometimes life takes a full circle and brings us back to similar situations which we have faced before.
