The last meet-
And the day arrived, he traveled 12 hours to her city and met her at a cafe as they planned, she looked weak and he knew the weakness was because of the sleepless nights she spent crying her heart out, he wanted to hug her as it was more than a year they last met but then he remembered the cause for his visit and stopped himself. They wanted to meet for one last time before they part ways. She brought the expensive watch he gifted her, just to return him back.
They ordered a hot chocolate coffee and stared each other for a few couple of minutes. He noticed the water in her eyes which she was controlling hard to stop pouring it out. Every passing second he calculated the rise in water in her eyes and finally when she wasn’t able to control further, she turned her head towards left and took a sigh of relief to let go all the water at once.
He asked her, “Why are you crying now? Was it not your decision to break? You called me all the way just to end this right, then why are you weeping?”
She remained silent, and he understood her answer. Then their coffee arrived and she took out the watch and told him, “I’ve never used this, as I always wanted to wear it after our marriage. Kindly, take it and gift it to the woman who is going to be your wife in future.”
For the next 5 minutes they discussed all the bad times of their relationship and how parting away is the only option left for them. Then they stood to leave, she told him to wait at the counter as she wanted to wash her stressed face and swollen red eyes. He couldn’t see her in this stage, he never wanted to make his girl cry and he knew she never wanted to end the relation from her heart but was forced to as he was not ready for marriage and it was high time for her to get married as her parents already started a search for her perfect man. He was frustrated and when she came back from the washroom, he held her hand, walked to the parking area and asked her bike keys. She handled them but kept asking where was he taking her to which he never answered and replied her to wait.
He was searching lane by lane for a perfect apartment where there was no security guard. Finally, he found one and confidently went inside and parked the two-wheeler at the visitor’s gallery. He took her all the way to the lift and pressed the highest floor button that was available in the elevator. When they reached the floor, he told her to follow him and led to the terrace of the building. He held her arm firmly, hurting her and dragged to a secure closed place. He then pushed her to the wall and shouted, “Why the hell are you crying, I can’t see you in this way!!”
She turned her face down, trying to hide her tears again and told him to go back to his city and leave her alone. She promised she would be fine in a few days and requested him not to contact her ever again in his life. He turned back to leave and then with a heavy heart she held his hand and pulled him slightly towards herself and hugged him as tight as ever. She cried and with a heavy pain in her tone, told him that she can’t do this.
She told, “Please, don’t allow someone else’s hands to touch my body, I can’t imagine sleeping with someone else, can’t digest the fact that some other person will touch me the same way you did and at the same place where you did. Please, I request you to do something and stop my marriage with someone else, I am ready to stay single all my life but can’t share my dreams which I saw with you to be with someone else. Please, don’t leave me, Please talk to my parents, please, please…”
He wanted to freeze this moment and wrap her forever, he kissed her neck and whispered the same thing which she didn’t want to hear, “I can’t marry you right now as I am not well settled, your parents will never accept me, I need some more time to prove your parents that I am the right person for you.”
She pushed him away and banged her hand hard to the wall in anger. She told him to leave right away, he left the place and she sat there crying alone…
After 2 hours she received a message on her phone, it was from him, she opened it and it said, “How long will you stay there on that terrace, I am waiting for you in your home, your dad wants you to approve me front of him and accept that you will be happy with me though I don’t earn well. Come soon sweetheart, can’t wait to go to your bedroom along with you ;)”
