Trust is the most valued thing that I can have in my life.
Be it the trust of husband, my parents, my family. I know that they trust me
and hence I don’t have to carry any baggage of lies or hide anything from them.
But how did I earned this trust from them..? Well earning is
trust is not that easy. When I was I child, I never used to hide anything from
my parents, be it good or bad. I used to narrate every tiny incident or mischief
that I had done. My mom was so confident on me that I will never hide anything
from her. Well and I too didn’t let her trust down.
As I grew I could feel the value of the trust that I had
earned. During outings with friend, my parents never said no to me, while many
of my friends were not given the permission. This was because of the trust that
I had earned from my parents. They knew that I will never lie or hide anything
from them.
This value of truth helped in my growing years, where I met
different people, made new friends. I knew that I have be what I am and never
lie to anybody. This one lie can bring down my good image that I had earned for
years. And my friends always trusted me for whatever I was and I am.
Then came the time when parents started looking for a groom
for myself. I had a past which I thought was very necessary to share with my
future life partner before getting into a relationship. I was very sure that I will not
hide my past with anyone I meet and whoever was ready to accept my past with
me, I will marry him.
I met many guys and told them about my past. Most of them
did not called back again after the first meeting. At one point of time I thought
whether my truth I going to cost me this big. But then I met HIM. He very
calmly listened to my entire story and didn’t said a word to me about it. We
had lunch and left for our homes. I lost the hope that he would call me again.
The next day to my surprise, I got a call from him asking if I would come out
for coffee. I didn’t had any words and just said yes.
We spent around 2 hrs speaking to each other. But not even
once he asked any questions or details about my past. To my curiosity I asked
him, if he was ready to go ahead with the relationship after knowing about my
past. To which he said, the past was past and it didn’t bothered to him at all.
The thing that impressed him was my courage to place the truth in front of him
and hold the responsibility for it. It is not easy to face the truth and share it
with some stranger. He said that he was confident that a girl who can share
such a big truth of her life, will never hide anything from her partner and he
completed trusted me on that.
The trust that I had earned from him that day is still
strong as rock. This trust has held our relationship so strongly for last 5 yrs
and I am sure will continue till our lifetime.
