It was all a lie
Today is his wedding day to a girl who is perfect for him. Perfect in a way that the girl is not me. It is Tanveer.
I sat in my room at 5 in the morning, the birds were happily chirping as the sunshine brought more light into their love filled nests. Unfortunately no amount of natural or man-made light would bring any happiness in my world.
I once used to be the kind who always looked at the positive no matter what life threw at me. My mum was murdered when I was 3, I survived. My adopted sister and her husband got in a car accident when I was 12, I lived. My best friend kicked me out her house at 19 for apparently sleeping with her ex, I moved on. But now at the age of 25, the only man I ever loved is about to get married in a couple of hours.
I'm shattered.
It started of as pure hatred, or at least that's what we thought. We were opposite.
He liked cleanliness, I didn't.
He had a family, I didn't.
He liked to work all day, I didn't.
He had people who loved and cared for him, I didn't
He was perfect, I wasn't.
At least not in his eyes.
Still I fell for him. I fell for the way he cared and loved his family like no other son or brother would. I fell for how he protects the ones close to him with every ounce of strength he has. I fell for how his eyes captivated me in a spell that could have lasted for centuries if no one disturbed. I fell for how he came to my rescue at the end of everyday, physically or emotionally. I fell in love, and I fell hard.
Life is so funny. We plan, and plan, and plan, only to realize that we were fools to believe that we are the ones in control of our life. Our life had been written by the Almighty way before any of us were even born, we just had to play our parts according to His way.
I always thought that some day, my prince charming will fall in love with me and I with him as he swept me off my feet riding into our happily ever after.
Not too long ago, I started to accept him as a friend, a close friend, a best friend and then without I realizing I started to make everything that was his also mine. I wanted to become the perfect woman in his eyes, I dressed the way he thought was appropriate, I talked the way he thought was sensible. I sat, ate, walked only the way he liked. but at the end of the day, I was no Tanveer.
Still I thought he was falling for me, he comforted me every time I needed a shoulder to cry on. He was my only strength when I found out my father was dead. He would always stare at me lovingly, stroking my hair, caressing my cheek, staring deep into my eyes, into my soul. Trying to find the girl who stood behind the fake smile, and I let him, believing he was also falling for me
But it was all a lie
I fell for my prince charming, but he didn't fall for me.
I confessed my love, but he rejected.
I gave him my heart, he denied it.
I leaned on him as my only support, he moved back.
It was all a lie.
Today is his wedding day to a girl who is perfect for him. Perfect in a way that the girl is not me. It is Tanveer.
