It was a rainy day… a day which brought back a lot of
memories…
I was sitting at a bus stop… with my ears plugged with the
earphones… the track “Vizhi moodi” from Ayan was playing in my phone… “ini ithu pol mazhaikalam en vaazhvil varumo???”
will I ever get back those beautiful days…
Across the street… was a coffee shop… a young couple were
enjoying hot chocolate… sipping through the most wonderful memories they will ever
have… I was feeling a little jealous…
A bus pulled up… the doors hissed open… I got up to board
the bus… an umbrella opened up through the door… she came out… in my most
favourite light blue churidar… my heart started racing… I could never get used
to her beautiful face… each time I saw her, I fell all over again…
Her eyes darted to my face… our eyes locked briefly… she
swiftly gazed away from me… we walked past each other… like strangers… total
strangers…
I walked through the aisle of the bus… got a seat near the
window… I sat gazing out… rain drops were dripping through the glass… & I
was falling through the memories…
I don’t remember when I had first met her… a classmate from
school… we grew up together… she was my friend… a pretty good one… she stood by
me in my thick & thin… & slowly… through years… our relationship
evolved… I started noticing how lovely she was… I fell pretty hard… but she
held on tight… she grew more than a friend… it was the most beautiful days in
my life… we walked through the college corridors… determined to walk the
journey of life together…
But soon we were at crossroads… once past the friendship,
expectations rise… & maybe I couldn’t live in her dreams… in a frantic
chase to catch up with life… a life I wished to share with her… I had missed
many moments with her… it all started with small quarrels… one leading to
another… I realised it was just a card house I had made with her… & it came
crashing down on us… leaving her walking out of my life… I was left all empty…
The bus pulled out of the curb… life had her walking away
from me again… her determined strides reminded me I didn’t have any place in
her heart…
I sat gazing out through the window… rain drops were
dripping through the glass… & I was falling through the memories… with
tears rolling down my cheeks… reminding me where my heart was…
