She looked at the diamond ring on her palm ,her heart breaking into a
million pieces ,tears streamed down her eyes . she did not wipe them.
She remembered all the harsh words she had said to him. How he
must have felt on hearing them, but she being so mad at the time ,did not
pause & think before speaking.
This is why elders always said to think 10 times before speaking some
thing harsh, but did she follow it ,no she did not. Now when she was sorry
for acting hastily without thought , the most precious person of her life
was lost.
She had gone to his house after a couple of days ,after their
arguement , no ...not arguement as it took two ppl to argue , after her
diktat, when she had cooled down a bit & when there was no attempt from
his side to contact her. all she had found was an empty house, it was as if
nobody ever lived there. she got frantic & asked his friends about his
where abouts.
Nobody had any idea. then she had gone to his closest friend Prithvi ,who
had told her point blank , " you hurt him badly Esha , he was devastated
,so he left this city . he has vowed never to come back here. and you
know how Aman is don't you?? once he decides something he does it."
" but Prithvi where did he go ?? you must know that , Aman always shares
every thing with you." she asked him.
" Believe me Esha ,i really don't know , where he went, what his plans are.
all i know is he has left this city never to come back." said Prithvi sadly.
" He left a letter for you though." saying so ,Prithvi took out an envelope
from his pocket & handed it over.
How she reached home after meeting with Prithvi ,she did not
remember. with shaking hands she took out the envelope from her hand
bag & opened the letter.
Dear Esha,
By the time you get this ,i will be gone from this city ,from your life
forever. i won't say anything on what happened or why it happened .
when my love was not enough for you to trust me completely , why should
a few words make any difference??
i am a firm believer of these lines by a hindi poet.
Rahiman dhaga prem ka ,mat todo chatkhaye,
toote se phir na jude, jude gaanth pad jaaye.
please take care of your self & always be happy. i will always keep loving
you. My only regret will be i failed to earn your complete trust.
cannot even say yours
Aman.
Drenched in sweat Nupur sat up in her bed. her heart beats racing , her
throat dry as dust, she was shaking like a leaf.
* the dreams ,i have been having were not just random dreams* she
thought * these are memories from my past life, these incidents really
happened to me. i was Esha & Mayank was Aman . we were in love ,were
engaged in that life.*
* does Mayank remember this connection that we had ?? does he
remember all these things?? Mayank must remember some of this, i
remember when i commented about his memory he smiled mysteriously
saying "i do remember many things Nupur, i have a good memory."
i have been falling for him bit by bit since i came here , i thought he had
the same feelings for me , but why is he avoiding me now.*
deep in thoughts Nupur did not realize when she had opened the door to
the terrace & walked out on it. She stood on the terrace breathing in the
cool night air, then turned to look towards Mayank's wing.
She could see light was on in one of the rooms , the window was open &
with breeze fluttering the curtains ,she could see Mayank's back . Nupur
squinted her eyes to see what Mayank was doing , then she realised he
stood before an easel & was painting something.* Shilpa Aunty said he
paints only when he is disturbed or sad. what is he now ?? disturbed or
sad ?? and why??* thought Nupur.
After staying on the terrace for some time ,Nupur felt calm enough
to go back to bed & try to sleep. * at last i know what these dreams mean
& why are they plaguing me for so long. i think i will get this resolved
before going back * thinking so Nupur slid into sleep.
