The Bargain

The Bargain
She took a deep breath before stepping into the room. These were going to be some of the most important steps of her life. A new chapter in her life that was about to begin; there were some momentary pauses, a few hesitations, but she didn’t have a choice now. She was in it: there was no way out. This was going to be an important phase of her life where she was going to find bliss and happiness, but they were going to be coupled with a lot of responsibilities and changes in her life. They were sure to bring some amount of sorrows and miseries for her, but they were to be  a bit different from any of those she had faced till now.

The sheer novelty of the experience attracted her, while at the same time, there was a dissonance within her in embracing an entirely new scheme of life. Her daily schedule was going to change, her priorities in life were going to undergo a metamorphosis, all precepts that held value and significance were to fade into ignominy now. They were going to be replaced by some new values.

She thought twice if she really wanted all this to change. She was quite happy and content with all those values and precepts she held now. She had to take the steps she was taking now because she knew the perpetrators of these values were soon going to change. A lot of her life was going to change. The weather was going to change, and she was going to require a different sort of shelter to shield herself from the furies of nature. The change was a natural and important part of life. She didn’t have a choice or a say in it. She had to flow on with time and be a part of the change.

The change was going to propel some more changes in her. She was going to have to embrace them as  a part of her life, which was all set to change drastically now. She was not sure if she was looking forward to embracing these changes or should she possess a dissonance against whatever novelty she is to be before now.

She was well acquainted with her life that was behind her. For a while, she was attracted by what she knew so well. She didn’t want to go for anything she didn’t know anything of. It might as well not be conducive to all the happiness it promised to be. There were all chances of there being a lot more unhappiness in her future that lay across the threshold she was about to cross.

It was an ocean she was about to enter, the experience wasn’t going to be nothing like what she had experienced in the lagoon she had been wallowing in till now. It was a protected ecosystem she had been in for a long time. She was entering another ecosystem where she was going to be protected all the better. She braced herself for the fun and joy she was going to experience while there.

Life isn’t a piece of cake, and she knew it. There were going to be several new experiences in her life, and she was going to have to face all of them with  a smile on her face. They were going to teach her new lessons of life every new day, and she was going to be thankful for them at night. At the end of the day, a cool and calm aura was to be a part of her life. This was what she had bargained for.
