Short Love Story – Once

It was 17th June. His birthday. I wanted the first one to wish him.
Even after knowing that everything between us was just a memory now, secretly I wished that he’d hug me tight when I’d be wishing him. I knew it won’t come true whatsoever. But it was heart who never understood.
They said he moved on. They said he found someone else. Someone better than me .To be honest, I never believed it.
I went to the terrace where he used to stay every morning closing his eyes and thinking about the best of his times. Before, it had those times when I used to whisper in his ears that how incredibly I was in love with him and always will be. But now, I knew nothing about him. I just saw him smiling on the fact that he was once mine. All mine.
He was sitting on the roof exactly where I thought he’d be. I was glad to know that I knew one thing about him till now.
It didn’t last long. Not even a second. My happiness.
He wasn’t alone.
Next to him sat a girl about whom everybody talked about. I was paralysed I saw his arms around that girl. Their eyes stuck into each other’s and after a while their lips too. It pained a lot to think that girl was me once. I was his special once. I was his world. ONCE. It didn’t work out.
Before they could see me eavesdropping, I immediately turned around and hid behind the wall .I closed my eyes tight to stop my eyes from rain but they didn’t seem to listen. I bent down and reached the door so that they wouldn’t see me. No one could ever understand how it wounded me when I said “they” instead of “Us”.
I came out and sat down on the stairs mourning and wondering what I’d just saw. Wondering what flaws I had, what went wrong. I couldn’t figure out. I could never.
I sat down there for an hour thinking whatever flashed in my mind.
Obviously I never wished him then. But no matter how heartbroken I was, I was happy to see him happy. No matter whatever the reason was. No matter whoever the girl was. She made him happy and it meant the world to me.
