It’s
hard to stay away from me when it comes to frequent traveling within the
country. I’m the first metal that he purchased and I’m his best friend even the
number plat syncs perfectly. Many termed my arrival as a ‘NO’ or as an unwise
or even a hassled decision but he knew that he wanted me so much. He drives me
everywhere and every time being with him was an adventure. I bet we have laid
our track almost every place and in return, I brought along some repairs and downturns
as well. He never once neglected me and took good care of me.
Care,
a word that doesn’t need to be described at all but can be just felt. Every
time he handled me with precision I felt blessed deep down and I wanted to do
the same. Most of the time he will be in his own world and then he would tune a
music where both of us will enjoy. He has a vast selection and it is seriously
a must hear especially during the night time driving. I always saw his stern
face and wished someone could put a smile. His independence is always in high
frequency that I admired his strong will. Sometimes I too will do the same when
my body parts especially the engine starts to give some weird sounds. However,
I could only cope up to a certain extent, his totally out of the normal range.
I’m
a normal car and he can just easily discard me as an old rubbish but he always
holds onto me with a sentimental value. During his desperate moments, I was there
with him. We travelled the rocky road slowly breathing in the fresh air and
absorbing our beautiful surroundings as well. I don’t really blow cool air but
he doesn’t mind rolling down the windows and enjoy the cool breeze. Day and
night he works so hard that sometimes he forgets that he had enough sleep. So,
there has to be a sacrifice to put through life and then the tough gets going
gradually. So, realizing his sacrifices I do my best to not give a problem
during his journeys and trips, I know it’s normal to face some breakdowns but
when he could still put up the next day after a major shutdown I too will.
He
masks everything with a smile like how I cover my internal problems with a
metal surface. Humans call it “Selfie” and his good at that and I do not deny
the fact that his a good looking man too. We had our picture taken together a
long time ago and he still treasures that. He does not really talk to many
except for his close friends and their entertainment makes him laugh. His
laughter can rarely be seen because he maintains this stern outlook. Whenever
people ask if he's ok, he will smile it off. Is it that tough to share things I
wondered and then slowly I realized his learning the art of self-defence.
Martial art is not involved here but the profound mind is kept in control and
it’s trained to stop emotions to be the first line of defence.
Pity
is a word he belittles. What is the point of me comparing myself to another
well designed innovated car when I’m still able to perform as I am? That’s what
my sole proprietor or rather my friend taught me. When we want to move forward
it’s better to let us get engulfed with the positive spirit instead of
utilizing a pathetic situation. In the road another car will be going in full
speed beside me but why should I bother when even the slow and steady tortoise
wins the race? He never lets his background to be a hindrance nor let it govern
his decisions. All will be done with such a positive aura that I wish to serve
him till the last leakage of oil from my engine.
Humans
are so unique and being with them made me realize that life is not about just
living a life and then say goodbye. It’s about how far you’re able to move
despite soo many things that pull you down and achieve success after battling
on how to overcome those rocky falls. I don’t know for how long I will be with
my friend but I do wish to stay and serve till my four tires get worn and my
body parts start to fail. I was his first choice and might not be his last but I’ll
be thankful for the memories and lessons he has taught me.
Yours sincerely,
Your 4-wheeler drive
