'Its over', she said and walked away furiously. While the boy stood dumbstruck the girl didn't look back as she hid the hot tears that welled up in her eyes.
She skipped dinner and medicines for she was too engrossed in his thoughts. It had been 3 years since their relationship had begun, like any cliche high school love story. Eyes glowed, smiles exchanged and their hearts skipped a beat. While their friends couldn't stop teasing them, their puppy love grew wings.
Many chocolates were exchanged and the girl's drawer still had the chocolate wrappers carefully folded and kept away safely. The mails exchanged once upon a time made the girls inbox full. As years passed they grew and the relationship became a major part of their life. Nights spent chatting, making love notes for each other. Days spent video calling, thinking of creative ideas for each of their birthdays. Bike rides was her favourite part, as she could lean on to him, hold him tight as she cherished every moment.
When the girl had been unwell, the boy had sneaked into the hospital, just to see her for once. The girl had bunked several tutions just to meet him. They had crossed hurdles,went against their family and school and yet kept their relationship intact .
They talked of the massive event that was about to enter their lives. High school was to end and they were to enter Higher Secondary. As their school uniforms were made different, their relationship started taking a new turn.
Months later the girl broke up. She was busted, when she heard that they guy had been cheating on her with her new made friend. She had to walk away. Now each night she wet her pillow and each day she grew more and more lonely..
For the world she became stone hearted and yet inside her heart had been shattered into tiny little pieces where each piece bore his name. She attended parties with her swollen red eyes carefully covering them up with Kohl, and her lips held a plastic smile. It felt as if she stood still while the whole wide world revolved.
Few weeks later, her ears came upon the news that the guy had crashed into another girl. Yet her social networking site search box, held his name on the top. Her wardrobe reminded her of the dress she had worn on their first anniversary. Her teacher's pathetic handwriting reminded her of his writing. It was not him but the memories they had made that haunted her. She realised that as the years had preceded his loyalty had depreciated.
Its funny that realisation takes a jiffy while the acceptance of the fact takes years. Today she holds head high, not in search of any prince charming, but in search of her own self, whom she had long left some years back. Realisation had taken its toll and acceptance was slowly dooming on her. Even though people judged her. She knew what she wanted as she had to live her life not others. The things we do in adolescence are not meant to be continued when we realise them as mistakes. Her eyes glowed, but this time with the want of a new start a fresh start, as she stepped onto back in her life.
