As I moved out of my room and walked through the hall, the
cold breeze across the room through the windows gave me goosebumps in a
fraction of seconds. I was afraid. Insecure. Nervous and anxious about spending
the last night at my place.
The nostalgia took over me and didn’t let me sleep. The
thought of this night being the last night here was pounding in my head over
and over again. I had spent as many as 5 years in this flat. A 1 bhk in a
residential apartment located in Salisbury Park, Pune. I had seen some of the
most difficult times of my life here, which I faced and moved on and also, created
some memories that I will cherish for life. I had got married the same year
when I had moved into this flat.
The flat has been a witness to my life during my Bachelors
and how everything changed for the better after my marriage. My wife made it
what it is today and is the very reason I feel nostalgic about this night. Hard
to believe how quickly the time has passed and tonight I was spending my last
night here.
No. This is not the end of my life. Not even something to be
sad about.
This last night was all about the excitement, the happy
feeling and the new beginning. The essence of shifting to a Home of my own, a
place that will be mine, is magical.
Yes. I am shifting to a 2 BHK flat in a residential project
by Prathamesh Constructions the next day. It is the Prathamesh Deep project by
Prathamesh Constructions in the same location where I spent 5 years of my life
in a rented flat. The Salisbury Park in Pune will always be associated with all
the happy memories and moments I have spent in the city.
Even though I feel nostalgic about leaving this flat and
shifting tomorrow, I am more than happy to move into my own home in Prathamesh
Deep with my family. My daughter and wife are way too excited to start our life
in our new home. This night will not come again, I will not be moving from a
rented flat to my new home again and hence, here I am, writing everything that
is coming to my mind right now. -Sumit
