A chapter Untold
"Listen dear, you are simply worrying. You have not met with worse things in life. Your life has been very easy compared to many others around you. People have gone through hell' met with accidents, misfortunes, broken marriage and what not... You have nothing to worry about. You have everything what you need to have in life. Relax don't think too much and ponder over small things"

These words have always kept ringing in my head all these years. Eight years have passed since that day. It was my twenty third birthday. A very beautiful day of my life. I drank for the first time. Ofcourse not drunk just "drank", some orange flavored drink mixed with vodka. First sip and I instantly liked the taste. And there he was, as always, listening and talking to me, taking care of me and making me love him more with each passing moment. Yes! It was indeed a wonderful day of my life.
But then why did it all crash down! I still have no idea or like I sometimes console myself saying I was on the wrong side of the road. I have always known he was in love with another girl from his hometown. I have, in fact spoken to her. Sweet! That was my first verdict. But then I have always found good about everything related to him. I must say she is certainly a nice female. Even when she had to go through hell, when every one else are against their relationship, she still waits for it to happen. May be that is what is called "love". I don't know. I have never been in it and I wonder what I feel for him is also the same.

I woke up as the sun's first rays hit my eyes. It is a special day today and I am happy from my heart. Yes! It is the wedding day. I have known him for quite sometime by now. It wasn't plain love. It was different, rather like a said yet an unspoken kind of love which everyone else fails to understand. I have always wanted to see him happy no matter what and today he is getting married to the girl he loves. Never had I asked him for anything and may be he never really knew what it was for me. Every time he would say he is there for me, I have this strongest urge to ask, "Will you be there always and forever?" which I never did for some unknown fear. And today is probably the day my world would come crashing down. But I am happy for he is too. And like they say, "When you love some unconditionally from your heart, all you would want is to see them happy even if meant shattering your dreams". Occasionally I have wondered if someone can really do that. And now I know the answer.
The bride looked beautiful. He looked extremely happy as now finally the wait is over.
Wedding vows taken and rings exchanged. The priest said, "I declare you as husband and wife." I slowly slipped away from the crowd.
--------------------xxxxxxxxxxxxx---------------------xxxxxxxxxxxx-----------------
That was perhaps the last day I met them. Back in my room, I had already packed my things and next day I changed my residence. It could be said as an act of cowardice but that was something I could not help. I was in fact running away from myself. Months passed. I had changed my phone number immediately after that eventful day. I changed jobs and even moved to different other cities looking for something that would give me some peace of mind. Years took a leap, turning down all the wedding proposals which my mother found for me, and now even she seems to have surrendered to fate. Atleast that is what she says. And I could never explain them my reasons. In life, some things can never be replaced.... and some people too.
Eight years I have lived alone, reliving every moment I have known him, recollecting every single word he told me, hoping everyday that this is just a nightmare and I would be awake from my sleep very soon and wishing when I wake up I could hear my phone ringing with his name on display, as usual at nine o clock.
And years later when I am back in Bangalore again, the city seems not to have changed much except for even more crowded roads and buzzing traffic. Bangalore is still a vibrant city.I get out of my apartment heading towards the elevator. Alone in the elevatorI wonder, is he still in this city? Would he still remember me? Would he still tell me the same words today, which he told me on my twenty third birthday?
"Had my life been really easy '.?"
I wonder and the lift comes to a halt at the ground floor. I walk out to the parking area as my day begins'
