"Author's note :Random Idea struck while doing Progressions . Written entirely in first person as I like it . Personally I''m not very happy with how it turned out to be , You see English is not my first language neither I'm much acquainted with it as you people as I'm partly Swede .So don't stone me kay ?
Ps :Happy Reading !
"But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves."
"Because Stars are meant to be crossed."
I was sitting on a park bench one fine day . What day ? I don't remember . But it ought to be Autumn as a mid aged man was raking the dead leaves and making a lot of sound which was invading my solitude .
Isn't it ironic that the leaves are brightest in the start of autumn and then loose everything at the end ?
My train of thoughts were broken when I saw a little girl of 5 something coming towards me with a basket of flowers . She had a honey sweet smile tugged to her lips which was quite sickening and reminding me of someone and ...
"Here this is for you." She said handing me a bluish blossom of forget me not's .
"I don't have money." I said suspiciously which was a balant lie but as a businessman you learn few lessons on how to NOT spend your money on useless things and they last a lifetime.
"They are not for sale ." She retorted tossing her shoulder length hair to one side ."If you don't want I will give it to someone who does." She said furiously which was a good comeback for five year something.
And then I heard a voice which I could recognise everywhere and was as familiar with it as my own.
"CARINA !"
"Oh no !" said the girl .
"Carina Kashyap ! How many times have I told you not to roam around and not to pluck flowers from the park ? They are for everyone to see !"
"But Mom ."
"No Buts I have to talk to Parth about this , you are ... ...
And there I was , sitting on a park bench one fine day , seeing my ex girlfriend in front of me scolding a girl most probably her daughter who's father was my best friend and there I was sitting and currently getting ignored .
Life is a heartless bitch . I decided .
"Oh ." I heard her voice again and I looked up and she was looking at me with same hazel brown eyes full of life and currently confusion.
Each man kills the thing he loves . How true .
"Hi !" I said like an idiot that I was. "Been a long time."
"Indeed ." was all she said .
And suddenly I became incapable of human speech , for I knew nothing about how to keep the conversation going and resembled a gaping fish when I opened my mouth but nothing came out.
"Nine to nine is eighty one ." Apparently Sanyukta's daughter decided to throw a random comment to save me of embarrassment .
"Very smart for such a small age." I said .
"Yes ! she is very intelligent." Sanyukta said proudly .
"I think I know where she gets it from." I said without thinking. Smooth Randhir so Smooth . You randomly meet your ex girlfriend and flirt with her in front of her daughter . Good going .
We didn't talk much that day but we didn't need to .
In the next 20 minutes I discovered that she , Sanyukta Kashyap(nee Agarwal), indeed married Parth Kashyap and had a daughter called Carina Kashyap who was 5 going to be 6 next week . Sanyukta invited me to the birthday Party out of courtesy and pity (?) but I don't think I'll go.
"And you never married ." Sanyukta asked after we got comfortable and were chatting like old buddies which was so wrong.
"No." I said . I didn't get the response I was expecting so I decided to press my luck.
"You won't ask why ?"
"No." She said ." I would rather wonder than get answers I couldn't live with."
I'm sorry but I have to go home it's getting dark .
"I still love you." I confessed giving back the forget me not's I got earlier .
"After all this time ?"
"ALWAYS."
