After Break up

-

Note:-This is a special post written by my friend Palak. Love can be of different types. Here is one such. 

After break up they met again, he was moving close to her as she skipped a beat. She still got butterflies in her stomach when he was in front of her. Both hardly managed to speak a word but they kept on staring at each other for a few minutes. A lot of memories flashed in front of their eyes. They held their tears back and broke the eye contact.

After a while, they gathered the courage to talk, he said sorry for what he had done. On the other hand, tears rolled down her eyes. She was struggling with her breath as she was crying badly. She tried convincing him to stay but he had made the decision to leave her. She looked in his eyes. She could still see the feelings in it but she failed to understand why he was doing what he was doing?
She continued looking in his eyes, she saw him crying and a lot many question flashed in her mind as to why this was happening? Was this the end? The end of a really beautiful relationship?

There was an awkward silence, both lost in their own thoughts. Breaking the silence, he said he wanted their friendship to continue and raised his hand for it. She kept staring at him for a few minutes. She raised her shivering hands towards him. He noticed it and instead of shaking hands he just hugged her. She felt the same warmth she had felt earlier and burst into tears knowing this was the last time she was going to feel that warmth. He rubbed her back and she stopped crying. She wiped her tears and shook her hand and promised for being friends forever.

Deep down in their heart they knew this was not what they wanted but he had his own reasons for a break up. She was not convinced about all this. She was still hoping he changes his mind but she respected his decision so she smilingly accepted his conditions. They started moving again but this time away from each other, so this was it! This was the end!

End of one more love story. Yes, they still had feelings for each other but they were not meant to be together. This time it’s not betrayal. This time it was two people bound by circumstances and external factors. Whatever the reasons, they had their moments and it was time they parted without regrets. They helped each other grow as a human being when they were together. So, it was okay to move on.  

After all, love is not about staying together forever. Letting go of each other is also ‘love’.

The conversation part 1

I woke up in the morning at 5 because my bus was going to arrive from the highway at 7. I realized how badly I needed a break from my routine. Thus, I decided to go the hills with a bunch of few unknown people. This was going to be one hell of a trip. I reached the highway around 6:50 and saw some buses lined together on the side of the road. I loaded my bus and saw all of the people chirping and singing Bollywood songs. All of them looked my age. The fun was just going to be doubled. I saw a girl with her ear-phones on. She was sitting alone and staring out of the window. She looked in her mid-20s, her jawbone clearly visible from the side. I always had something for the square face and so, I can say I was instantly attracted to her. She wore a black t-shirt and leggings. I went towards her and asked “Excuse me?” to which she replied nothing. “Excuse me?” I said. She now took out her ear-phones. “Sorry?” she asked. “Is this seat reserved?” I asked rather stupidl...

Chance

“We don’t meet people by accident; they are meant to cross our paths for a reason.” In life, you meet a lot of people. Is there a reason behind meeting someone? Do we all meet by chance? What is destiny? These questions baffle me as much as anybody. I think we all ought to have an opinion on this. So, according to me, we meet people because of some reason. They say that if you have a positive attitude and you remain happy all the time and luck is favoring you these days then chances are you are going to meet your soulmate soon. It’s like as if the whole universe immerses itself in the process of amalgamation of two souls or acquaintances. Just think of it this way. You met a person on a train. She was all soaked in sweat. So, you lend her help. You get to know that she has missed her train because she got stuck in traffic. She had to take another one ultimately. What transpired all this? Was it all chance? I don’t think so. Another minute here or there and she probably wo...

A painful memory part 2

Read the first part of the story, here . ************************* My father had come home after a long day. “Honey, I’m home” my father said. My mother and I quickly gathered ourselves. My father made a presence after sometime in the kitchen. “What happened?” He asked to both of us. I replied “Nothing.” He smelt something fishy. He noticed something that my mom was hiding behind her back. “What’s that?” my father asked to her. “It’s nothing, Manish” my mother replied. He gradually went near her and extended his arm to see what she was hiding. He took the picture from her and stared at it for a while. “Honey, are you serious?” he asked her. “Yes, I told her the entire story” she replied. She couldn’t control her tears. “Beta, you got to understand…whatever she did she had a reason” my dad consoled me. “I know, dad. I know” I replied to him. I added “but I can’t even be...
