I was wondering why he did not become a doctor despite him being known as doctor Babes and a science student until one fine evening he decided to demystify the reason behind it. I always used to ask him why he landed up in our profession and here he goes, “Ana, jang sho dasur romantic chowa- meaning I was little romantic during school days” and I pressured him further, surprised to hear him say this. Is it? I asked. Gela! Denparang gela na….says with a serious look.
The story dates back to PU days in Sherabtse, because of a childhood friend whom they have seen each other growing up but it seems that he never got enough guts to tell the girl that he was in love. He says he was not intelligent but was very hard working. It was difficult to concentrate on his studies after he realized that he was in love. The condition deteriorated as he had a room mate who also was equally suffering from a chronic condition called Love sick, another victim of infatuation. Since then, they resorted to drinking and his result was as expected, both did not qualify for professional course but still claims that his marks were better than many of his friends who worked.
The following year he got into one institute and in course of the training few more stories unfurled. He again had crush with his batch mate from different department and proposed but again flatly refused as she already had steady relationship. By than he had learned to move on until he bumped into another girl who actually liked him. Hearing this other friend squeaked, “Zai bro, not bad thur cho ka gi ka la na” and khes…khes..khes..she goes… Oop! This was yet another failure because he found this girl little psycho, “she used to come to my room and touch all my things without invitation and I did not like her character”. So he ignored.
We asked, “do have some more?” Yeh! He gives a cynical smile… He was seriously thinking of looking for life partner this time because it was almost time for them to pass out and become a permanent civil servant. He confided to his friend that he is thinking of proposing to his cousin the friend agreed to arrange a date in the near by canteen. We were told that he prepared a lot. Their date started with taking photographs, posing in various styles, holding her hands, hugging, keeping her brother in between them etc….The date went very well but unfortunately before he could propose, disaster struck again, his friend got drunk, picked up quarrel with owner of the canteen and they has to rush out the canteen before something serious happened.
So… how did you manage your present wife? “Aa… it also took some time but it worked”. ….And till this day they are living happily but no issues so far …. I am sure it must be on the way…..He says he last saw his first love with her husband in the bus station (Thimpu) and has a car but I forgot to ask about the children…..
