I was feeling uncomfortable in her presence, but I couldn't leave. I wanted to know what made her do that. It was quite evident that she wasn't too comfortable; smiling tentatively, "How are you?' she asked.
'I'm okay,' I said, more hesitantly. I looked at her; the same face, the one I was so hooked to that it was hard for me to take my eyes off. But now having a glance at her, seemed a kind of adventure that I didn't want to attempt. But then again I had to see if she was happy, without me. Her eyes shone bright, but that innocence she once had was missing. Even though I knew her much better, she still seemed like a stranger to me. The more I was with her, the more past was pulling me in. An image of my tears in hands flashed infront of my eyes.
'I must go,' I said getting up abruptly.
'Now,' she asked looking up from her coffee cup, surprised.
'Yea, its quite urgent. Bye,' I said and left before she could say anything.
I regretted meeting her. Why did I meet her? I scolded myself, Why did she do that to me? came the second question to my mind. I loved her with all my heart. I did everything to make her happy. I always looked for ways to bring smile to her face. And what was I rewarded for it? Tears! Pain! Trauma! Why did she do that? came the question again to my mind.
'I got attracted to him,'she said then,' I know what I did is wrong and I'm really sorry for it,' she added, couple of tears escaping her eyes.
Attracted?? Was that attraction so strong that it made you forget my love and leave me? I wanted to say Will your sorry compensate the agony I went through? I had tears in my eyes and it no image this time.
'She wasn't worth your tears,' said my heart,'she doesn't deserve them.'
'They are not in my control,' I replied.
'Of course they are,' said my heart,' all you have to do to stop your tears is to just FORGIVE that person!!'
I sat silent for sometime and then asked,'Will that help? But how should I forgive her?'
'Its easy,'said the heart again,' just let go off the grudge and hatred.'
I thought for all night. The very next day I called her. 'Hey, thanks for meeting. Felt good,' I said.
Yes, it really feels good!!!
