Life Is Beautiful - 05

“Yeah papa… always. Anything important pa??” I could just swallow up and continued.

“Hmmm… Yeah, a little serious. Are you happy with your college and your engineering progress??” he was quite destined towards something and keeping that normally.

I could easily sense the purpose and replied, “Yeah pa… it’s quite good and am doing better! What’s the matter pa??”

“I was thinking of a transfer from your college for the third year.” He finally broke down the secret and I was completely confused.

“A Transfer? I have never heard about that and what it is all about??”

“We can just change the college under the same university with your branch and I feel you need a change!”

I was little more confused and how did he feel the change I require? Whatever, I just wanted to know the exact reason behind it and waited for him to complete with a pause.

“From the next year, you need to attend the campus placements and I want you to get through with it. So, I thought of getting you a transfer in a reputed college!”

I could not answer him directly, he had a cause. I was totally baffled and stuttered, “Shall I just think and say pa?”

“Think?? About what?? Friends and new environment??” dad interrogated.

“Hmmm… yeah pa… Shall I say you tomorrow?” I pleaded.

“Take your time, I will be there within a week and we will discuss about this further!” He was quite stubborn in his final and hung up the call.

I was stunned with that plan of my dad and could not even think about that ‘further’. Was that the conversation I ever think of before? I wanted to say him my problems but he came up with solutions I guess! Was this right to follow his decision or still try to say my problem? My heart insisted to take up this time bound solution but brain always opposing it!

I know am not strong enough to leave everything and start a new beginning. I wanted to stay away from her but not with the current situation. I felt little insecurity. I could not find any reason to say my dad and started thinking a little deeper - friends, staffs and college. I could sense the love showed by everyone else to me except her but now I wanted not to leave my college just for her.

Few days later,

“Balakumaran – wanted by the principal”
