I am in relationship with this really cute guy. He is sweet, caring and supportive to the core. The only thing he lacks sometimes is his ability to express and be vocal about his feelings, which is sometimes little frustrating and other times even the slightest of the gesture brings butterflies to my stomach.
A little about me…Well I used be a software engineer, until one day I decided to quit my 9to5 job and start a business of my own. The decision was huge without the easy approval of my parents.
He pushed me towards my passion even though it would cost us living in separate cities. Amidst all these emotional and financial turmoil, I started my own small restaurant in my hometown.
Like most of the budding entrepreneur, my journey was full of failure, hardships and challenges.
During my initial days as the restaurant owner, my per day sale was as low as 106 Rupees. On one such day when I was feeling really low and mixed feeling of sadness,despair, doubt and regret crept in, I texted him
Him: what's your lowest sale?
Me: 106 Rupees. I guess the lowest sale record will be broken today. I was able to sell coffee of worth Rupees 90 only!!
*He immediately transfered 500 into my business bank account*
Me : 500??
Him: Your lowest sale record shouldn't be broken.
It wasn't the 500 rupees that mattered, it was his faith in me and gesture that said “I got your back” that put a smile on my face for the rest of the day .
It has been one year since this message, and yes 106 is the lowest sale till date. I have come a long way from 106 to upto 10k sale per day, but I still remember that day and his small effort to boost my spirit!!
That's the small thing which mattered a lot to me !
