Everybody has dreams and especially when you are really young, we aspire to be things that we dream. But I dreamt of only simple things in life. I dreamt about him. For me everything else was secondary. Finally after tolling hard for almost one year, I got Visa for US but i wasn't happy at all. I wish i never applied, I wish never even thought about going abroad. But, now there is no turning back. Why do we all young people have to go abroad? Then I take a closer look at Nepal. It's true Nepal cannot provide lots of things we young people want. Not even the very basic. I still didn't know if I wanted to go when the sole reason I was leaving my country, my family and everything I held so dear was not going to be with me. His Visa had been declined twice and he wasn't going to try again this year. I feel so trapped, I have only one week left. My flight is next week. Right now, I feel like I have only one week left to live. What am I going to do alone there? These are the thoughts currently running in my head. I was so young and so naive. Honestly, I had no clue what life had in store for me. Two months ago I thought I had everything about life figured out. I take a look at my watch and it is 2 pm. I still am not able to sleep. I wanted to call him but I knew it wasn't right time to do so. I really wanted to show him that I was a strong girl and I could wait for him. All this time I was fighting with my family, telling them I am strong enough and I will be Okie and now I have to deal with reality. Oh if only he was with me, I would have care less about everything else. In these last few days I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him. I didn't knew when I was going to see him again. Uncertainty is really painful, not knowing when or if ever again. I really hated long distance relationship. I always used to make comments that it rarely works and here I am. I never agreed to this. But, what choice did I have? He was the only reason that I was even able to deal with all that stress. He said I will be fine and he will be applying for the next term and I believed in him.

She had / have dreams and so did / do I. We were / are young and have aspirations to reach very high, ambition, dreams to live together, succeed together but only difference was I always wanted to live lavish unlike her. I am a dreamer. I have never learnt to quit. The day she got visa and I was denied, I obviously got shattered but it is not the end that I should get depressed. Though it is denied for second time, I have a hope that is still floating somewhere in my heart. She is leaving after one week. I am not able to overcome her departure. Every day and night, every moment, my heart is beating so fast as if I am going to pass out. And it is she who made me realize I can succeed on what I wanted to do in life. US is not the end of our journey. She is strong and always in my heart so what else do I need in life then? I am sure and I believe in myself that I am going to see her pretty soon. Uncertainty is definitely painful but I love her. To be continued ...

Not sure if your story is literary creation, but i have lived the day when i had to let her go. I still remember the day I waved me goodbye on that ramp up on the way to TIA..It's been a decade,,I followed her half the way across the world the very next year only to find that it was all over. And pretty soon I will be on my way following her back half way across the world to the city of TIA,,hoping that may be i will be able to catch up with her after a decade though no longer in the way it used to be. Not sure if USA is worth giving up the happiness of being close to the one you love.
