"I have something to ask you."
"Yes?"she asked.
"Years back,you used to say this.You wanted to be very rich and because of your intense desire,your mum used to say,marry a millionaire and life will be smooth for you.I was curious if such thoughts are still there or it change with aging?It must be like 3 4 years ago after all,"I asked with curiosity.
I wanted to ask her this since last week.I realized some people's promising words change with time.
How about her?She was one of the reason why I wanted to be rich.She convinced me once that being rich is the best way to live our life.
After a moment of pause,she replied,"To be honest,I really couldn't remember if I really said that and I would said no, I'm not going for money."
That was surprisingly unexpected.
Why am I not forgetting things but everyone around me,be it strangers,good friends,best friends,your lover, relatives,even your father could forget something that they wittingly said once.
It made me wonder.How could I trust someone's words next time.
To be precise,how can I take someone's words serious?
Maybe paying attention when someone is saying something and remembering it is an unnecessary attributions in today's world I thought.
People don't remember if they lied.That is why ,if you're honest,you don't have to remember it.It's there forever.
Or maybe they didn't gave such importance for you as much as you gave them.
It was confusing.
"Perhaps I was too young and immature at that time.Sorry if your thoughts towards me is like that.It was my fault.I created that mess,"she continued.
I was listening.
"Of course we do need money ,but after all love overpowers everything else.Money in moderate amount is fine,if it's too much,you won't be happy as well.Some family are very poor in money but they are very rich in love,"she lectured.
It reminded me of my recent conversation with a fellow man.
In the conversation,he asked me,
"What you don't have and that guy had that made your ex secretly engaged with another guy without telling you anything about it but still talking and seeking your help time to time?"
I was thinking for a moment.
"I looked better than him.I had six packs even at that moment.I'm better in education and qualifications and..."before I complete mumbling,
"Stop,not that,not about look and qualifications ,there is something that you're missing."
"I got it.I think it's money.He was working and earning ,just that initially she don't know that he were conning and scamming people's money,but in her point of view,he had money and I was still studying even though in long run, I'm a doctor."
He smiled."Yes, it's money."
"But love could ,or should bypass issues such as money and ensure loyalty right?"I asked naively.
"Does past showed such evidences?"
His question left me in silence.
I smiled thinking about the importance of money as per her new perception about it.
She was the root cause for this mindset of making money.
What I said that day,she was saying it today and what I stood for then, she's stating it today. It's funny.
I just wanted to be knowledgeable back then but if it's not because of her,this thought of making money,using it for better purposes wouldn't be within me today.
Maybe,every one that crossed our life moves us towards our purposes or uses us to move towards their goals. Either way,the butterfly effect play its role efficiently.
Humans are extremely unpredictable and that is our blessings. Changes is the only thing that remain unchanged and that's the best gift for evolution of mankind;or it's the other way around.
Whatever it is,let's stop taking them seriously I decided.
