The Less Trodden Path

‘I am resigning from the job.’ He said to his mother.

‘What will you do?’

 ‘I will do something of my own.’

‘What will you do? People do jobs whole life and you are leaving it.’ His father said with a disagreement. ‘ What will you do? Open a shop? After so much education!’ his mother had an opinion that business is nothing more than a grocery shop…

It was tough for him to go against the will of his family but his own will was strong than theirs.  During this crucial phase, she came to his life with the support and strength he needed most. She loved him for all his eccentricities. She loved to see him happy and relaxed. It was often a sullen environment at home. Meanwhile he resigned his job. The resentment in his parents had become his frustration. He sought a cordial and understanding environment, which was missing at home. Finally, he moved out of his family to stay with her. Soon they started a small business in the field of retail.

Time flew with its swift wings. Five years had been passed since they started their enterprise. ‘What are you thinking?’   ‘The journey we started, the road we had trodden was not smooth but we reached our destination. Life is great here where we are standing together… ’ They smiled at each other.
