A month’s Absence

us

We feel their absence and we long for their presence but do we even take slightest effort to let them know that they are being missed and we are waiting for them? I am one of those individuals who feel but won’t show often. I was reading “Passu Diary” wherein he has penned down every moment and the message clearly reached to the person intended. You might feel it today and your message may never reach unless you let them know at the earliest. We never know if tomorrow or the next life will visit us first. I best express my thoughts in writing than verbal. Let that lump in your heart burst out in your words. So I decided to write for her. To the friend whose month’s absence I feel. This is to you NIM DEM.

I remember the first time we put up job applications for this particular job the interview times and later the selected times. Unsure of if we were to take this job but we decided we take it and take it TOGETHER. So here we are in this journey. It has been one year and three months since we took this decision. We chose to come in the same Dzongkhag. The distances between our stations are almost 132 kilometers away but we at least met once or twice in a month. For an official purpose we get our private time too. But this month feels too long. I know how busy you are with the Desuup training and now how I wish we should have attended the training together! I should not have left earlier than you or I should have asked you to come with me.

This month feels little longer and tiring too. The days become longest when I visit Dzongkhag. The people I meet on my way ask me about my partner. I miss our days when we get twinned with dresses without discussion, our walking days, talking days, eating days and our together time. I wish your training gets over soon. I feel your absence and I miss you my friend. Come soon and here I will be waiting for you patiently. Complete you training soon and let us volunteer together.
