Hand by hand, he had quick grasping hold on her. He tried to go more into her and touched her shoulder annoyingly. But there is a limit of fake possession. She jerked away slightly. Rubbing her palms against her elbows as purely she was touched by the cold breeze. But no, it can’t be cold. It was never cold. Not even when her parents passed away and not even now. It was pain that crushed her, broke her heart, bought tears and needless to say, it was endless.
He stood stiff for a moment at her sudden reaction. If Arjun was at his place then would she do the same? He knew he could never replace Arjun but he wanted to get attention from her. And so, he took control over the situation coolly. She followed him till where the car was parked and sat on front seat reluctantly.
Again, he was witnessing her silent flowing eyes. Her eyes came across the same ice-cream parlor and she went back again in time, reminiscing their fun moments. Oh pretty good memorable times they were around him. His warmth was a heavenly safe place for her and always will be if she get a chance to hug him again wholeheartedly.
Lost in her world, and now they were getting close to her place, she asked him to stop.
“Why? And anyway it’s really dark now and not safe for girls” He said with a hidden concern.
“Thank you for the ride. But now I can go by myself. I don’t want people to judge me over again. Bye!” She left immediately without caring to look back. But he was there till she was faded in darkness.
She said that she didn’t people to judge her. But no, it wasn’t that. It was just she didn’t wanted him to again torment her with questions of this sudden absence.
Hurt, we say, was never as gloomy as now. Can’t deny how painful these tears back. Promises were crushed into thousands pieces. Oh, how destructive it was.
She looked that at two young souls running on the endless street. It was none other than they themselves enjoying the rain.
“Radhika! I won’t leave you today” Arjun said, giving her a sharp look.
Radhika teasingly began, “Oh yes! Then come and catch me.” She ran faster, breathing heavily.
“Wait! Wait! Once I catch you, I’ll never leave you.” Finally, he caught her in his arms. They were laughing as they owned the world. And just this was life. How contrary to the fact, she thought. But smiled genuinely.
It appeared to be a dark room but it was only hers. She shut the door and slide down the door, weeping her heart out. Afterwards, she went through her dairy. Oh, so good memories were captured in these crazy selfies.
Didn’t know when but now she found herself again scribbling her thoughts and feelings on a new fresh page.
My Dairy:
Feelings,
And where A story begins…
A beautiful place where heart fears…
Little were we to know our destiny…
Young and pure were that two souls…
Drowning in valley of friendship…
Few dark ages, and promises were shaped…
Oh, my love of youth…
A new awaited morning…
And the sun glimmered in…
Knees low and eyes straight in mine…
I accepted you with a smile…
You were mine and I was yours…
Nevertheless, a haunting revenge held me back…
My heart ached…
Feelings grew deeper…
I left you like a mystery…
I’m sorry, I’m sorry…
Will never seek you again, suppose…
Peace in you, and the farther I stumble…
Return you back the life taken…
Though, forever love will be ours…
Tears just started to roll down her cheeks just with the flow of this poem. Why can’t her story be like the happy ending one just like in one of the story she read when she was a kid? No, it was in all stories except hers.
Thud! And her last photo was on floor. “I’ll never trust any women again,” he declared hotly, “Never ever.” He clenched his fists in anger. In hatred…
