Part 8
In good old times, remember my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
We were so blind and deaf, what a bliss
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?
He sat in his darkened room with a steaming mug of hot coffee, thinking about everything which had changed his life. One encounter with Tia had changed everything.. his beliefs for the last four years, his relationship with his wife, and his vow to protect Ashi for ever in sickness and in health. He didn't know what to do anymore. If Ashi came to know about it, she would be heart broken,, but would accept her as a part of his life. But he didn't want to do that to Ashi, she had been the best wife ever to him.. he didn't want her to be heartbroken.. He knew it would never work out with Tia, the circumstances were too complicated, too different, and even the tiniest mistake would ruin their friendship. He was not ready to risk that.. he was not ready to trade love with friendship.. or friendship with love. Sighing, he closed his eyes letting the tears fall down … they tasted salty..
One cloudy day, we both lost the game
We drifted so far and away
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes.
Watching the far away sunset, she wondered how her life got to be like this. Two days ago, she had a husband.. a loving home.. a life. And today she has nothing. The unbreakable has truly broken.. their bond has broken.. broken to such an extent that it might never heal itself. She couldn't even try to imagine how it all had started.. that man loved her so much.. she could still remember him saying, ' Your words… they sting' when she had accepted the proposal from Pierre. They were all so far away now.. it was shocking that he didn't love her anymore.. she had no place inside his heart, because now it all belonged to Tia. Tia.. the snobbish, cute, innocent girl from college who was hopelessly in love with Ranveer.. the last girl she had expected to snatch her husband away from her.. her quite sobs turned into loud sobs of despair, rage and angst..
I was unable to cope with what you said
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I am, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie
It all started with a sham and a lie for her. Her marriage with Ranveer, her father's death, the realization that she was in love with Yuvi, reappearance of Ranveer, coming to know that Yuvi was married.. it all ended up in knots.. knots she couldn't even start to undo, because they were deep and intense. She wanted Yuvi and Ashi to be happy together, and she wanted to go out of their lives.. but a small part of her wanted him to be happy only with her..
It was all Sham And A Lie..
You saw us always clearer than me
How we were never meant to be
Love denied meant the friendship would die
And I have seen a light
These memories make me cry..
These memories make me cry..
