True Story !
I am going to tell you just another heart ripping story. A story of Love, Lust and Betrayal. Nobody won ! Yet there were three big casualties. A heart was broken. A trust raped. A friendship killed.
So Let's begin.
He stood there standing by the pavement waiting for her. Cars passed by so did people. The clock ticked away as five long minutes passed. They weren't as long back then but a gaze back into the past they seem pretty long. Maybe it's the pain of loss and loneliness that haunt the present that makes it look not just long but inevitable.
She shouldn't have come that today. Rather they shouldn't have started talking at the first place.
But destiny had its own devious plans.
She came. Every step she took towards him made his heart leap. He had only seen her photographs. He didn't expect her to be so beautiful almost surreal.
"No Stop!"
"Go back!"
"Let's not meet"
With every step she took towards him, she set the wheel of his doom in action. They met for the first time. She was like a fresh wind of spring. He instantly liked her. It didn’t take any longer than it takes to make an instant coffee they shared a little later for them to click. At least that was what he thought back then.
That was it. Every day after that it was the same . They met they talked. They made fun of each other. They met again, they talked, they made fun of each other, and they started liking each other. Until, the day, they met, they talked, the made fun of each other and she kissed. She kissed him on his lips.
He closed his eyes. He kissed her back and when they opened their eyes she told him She loved someone. Not him!
He felt sad. He apologized. He shouldn’t have.
It was a new place, a new world, a world far away from their own. It happens that’s what he thought. Everyone has moments of weakness. He was sad but then he smiled coz he was happy that she loved him for a moment the way he loved her.
He walked back home as the rain fell. He knew something had happened back there. He had left something in her living room as they sat and kissed. He reached home only to realize it was his heart.
They met again the next day. He just went to get what he left behind the last day. But then they sat they, talked and made fun of each other and as the last day she kissed him again she made love to him.
It became a routine after that. He fell for her. They talked about her boyfriend and she wasn’t sure. She just wanted to live in the moment.
Then one day she met someone. Someone else in the new world they had come together into. He never knew there was others out there, maybe coz his eyes, his heart, his thought were all stuck on her all this time.
She started meeting that someone more and more. He complained, he cried, in vain. She walked away.
He stood. As they rain fell from the sky. He cried nobody noticed. How could anyone. His world only had her.
He walked back. He walked as if it were his last walk. He passed the pavement he met her. He passed the cars, the shops the people. His world has come to a standstill. He closed his eyes took a deep breath. He looked back for one last time.
He saw her. He could see her holding ‘someones’ hand. She had her lips to close that ‘someones’ ear as she whispered to him “I have a boyfriend”.
The whisper travelled through the breeze reached his ear.
‘Someone’ kissed her as they walked away. They trampled on his heart. He felt the pain. He longed to go back to his world. He wanted to run. But he couldn’t. He was stuck. He was inside a glass cage. He banged hard. He begged to the people passing by to let him out. But nobody heard.
He was to be another of her playthings. One amongst many other. Her collection of hearts she had broken. Trusts she had raped. Friendships she had killed.
