I re-read The Secret the 2nd time and then the 3rd, after reading the book and watching the DVD, I was motivated to change my life. I also read the stories on the website every day. All this motivated me and I began expecting things in my life the way I wanted it to be. I got all the small things I asked for, peaceful sleep on a disturbed night, my favorite song on the music box or a chat with my love – my boyfriend.

My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for the last 2 years, we both belong to different religions and caste (which is still very important in India). Our relationship began on a note that we would be good friends and not get too close to each other as marriage is something that won’t work out between us, as we belonged to different religions.

However, over the last 2 years we both got very close to each other, we both were dependant on each other for the slightest and the minutest decision that had to be made; though my boyfriend kept telling me that things between us won’t last long and marriage won’t happen as he cant go against his family.

I was still hopeful that we would be together some day.

There were a number of times my boyfriend had set aside a specific date, a date from where we would stop all conversations with each other, stop meeting each other, so that we both move on in our respective lives. Needless to say, that day never came, it just got lost somewhere, which just further proved to me that our relationship was here to stay and we will be together.

As well as that, I had The Secret and God’s help to make me strong and be positive.

Alas, my positive energy didn’t last long, come the 1st of February my boyfriend decided to break all ties with me, as he suddenly realized that we’ve got too far and if there’s no end put to it right now, it’s just going to hurt both of us more. It’s been around 20 days today that our relationship has changed from what it was, to a mere ‘Hi-Hello’ probably twice a week.

Meanwhile, I’ve got to know that he has found someone from his religion and caste whom he spends all of his time with these days. The same time that he used to spend with me over the last 2 years, and he is planning to get engaged to her in May. (He hasn’t told me any of this, even in his small Hi-hellos).

All my friends and well-wishers say that I shouldn’t be waiting for him and should also move on. But my heart and my trust and faith in God want me to still wait for him. Every passing day I find out some more information about him and that girl which makes me feel depressed and then makes me feel that I shouldn’t keep any hope, but that feeling lasts for as long as I want it to last.

I truly believe that my boyfriend will come back to me, I close my eyes and visualize both of us happily married to each other. And I am damn sure that his engagement in May will happen, but the girl will be me.

Thank you Mother Mary & Sai Baba & The Secret for making me strong and stay positive and bringing back my boyfriend into my life.

Thank you Rhonda and to all the readers who write their stories here, your stories motivate me when I am low.

One more thing, come May, you will find another story out here telling you that me and my boyfriend are happily engaged and will get married soon.
