#WritcoStoryPrompt8
The picture in the frame held a lot of memories. Some good, some sad. Her tired eyes roamed over it one last time before she tossed it in the fire. It was time to start afresh.
Marriage proposals were flowing through her home. She was sitting in the fireplace thinking whether she took the right decision. She was in a long term relationship with a boy. They knew each other from high school onwards. As the faith decides they dated. But he wanted it to be a secret coz his parents won't let him date as they need him to concentrate in his studies. She felt that he was right and moved along. Sometimes he talked as if they had a future together and says the sweetest things and sometimes he consider her as an object to kill his boredom. She was so head over heals for him that she didn't recognize any of that. For her, he was the one.
As he said, she gave him enough space
"if I wanna marry him, I gotta give him time to study. This is not just his future anymore , its ours” That's what she thought.
So they talked less & less everyday and eventually broke up. She used to wonder if any of those was real.
BUT IT FELT REAL!!
They both moved on . She had another boyfriend. But still he called her sometimes and like every time her heart would explode with the overwhelming emotion, which she tried to hide. She understood that she couldn't continue loving anyone except him. That hit really hard on her and planned to be single for a while.
She liked the freedom, the space, no constant pressures, no late night talks, no black eyes, more friends...
Still she felt a gap.
Even though they were not together, they talked . No bf-gf talks, casual friendly talk and one day, just like that she called him.
" I think am in love with you" she said.She felt free on saying that and she meant it.
He texted "am in relationship with another girl."
AWKWARD! But she could live with that.
Then again they moved on. It could be a never ending cycle.
Getting together...breaking up...getting together..........
So she decided to put a pin to it.
Now, after 2 years she know better. She needed someone whom she can trust, who make her feel that love isn't a burden to bear, but what frees us.
