The Last Word #theunrequitedlove
#theunrequitedlove
We had been neighbours since last two years, I and Sonal . I am Devik , 22 years . Sonal was a beautiful and simple girl living on the other side of the road , her house facing mine . She was very kind-hearted , helpfull, energetic & positive and that's the reason I admired her and had a feeling of something more than mere friends. I could never express my feelings to her as I was afraid of our friendship to break if she'd feel bad. She had never spoken about her family and I didn't bother to ask as I thought, she would say me once trust grows stronger. I used to greet her every morning and whenever I would see her. Sending flowers in the morning to bring a smile on her face , asking for acompany to lunch and coffee were common. That evening I return from my work early to take her to movie .When I returned home I could see a car standing outside her home .I had never seen it before there ,nor I had seen the men standing near it. I went to my room, dressed casually and came down to take her with me. I saw that her door was open and she was crying .I went inside and asked her . In return she replied that her fiance whom she got ingaged forcefully 3 years back had come to take her with him. I was taken aback. I could not say her anything . Something stuck in my throat. With gloomy and hopeless eyes I saw her packing her belongings and after 2 hours when everything was done,she sat in the car beside her fiance . She looked at me waved and said goodbye . I waved her back and could just utter " bye". I looked the car jumping over the speedbreaker and in me were the thousands of thoughts tickling in my head. I turned towards to go to my room and the tickets fell from my hand half- torn.
