The clock struck twelve midnight. ‘Love’ she scribbled on the paper. Suddenly the ink smudged,
distorting the word, her tears were the reason. Her blood colored the paper
red. She broke her coffee mug and its pieces pierced her hand causing profuse
bleeding. It was unclear, was it the pain caused by the pieces of broken mug or
was it the pain of her shattered heart that made her cry?
“Everyday is the
same story,
Monotonous life with
no charm and glory.”
She wrote. A melancholy life she was living. For the last
one week she had not stepped out of her flat. She got up looking for her phone.
It was lying on the floor with the pieces of the broken mug. Picking it up she
checked it, 89 missed calls and 105 messages. She checked all of them… each of
her friends tried to contact her. Her eyes were anxious to see his message. But
she received neither a message nor a call from him. She smiled with tears in
her eyes and went back to resume what she was writing.
“People say, life
is easy to relate.
But I hardly have a
reason to elate.
Trust no word now, I’m
left to stray.
Why am I living
when it’s just betray, betray and betray!”
These words came straight from her heart filled with pain
and agony. She had loved him beyond infinity and more than anyone else in the
world. In fact, he was her world. That love once made her life beautiful now
ruined it. That love once was a reason for her smiles now left her with tears. Her
heart which once belonged to him was now craving for him giving her endless
pain.
“It’s dark now, my
heart says as you were my life’s light.
You took away my
strength, this pain I can no more fight.”
With each word, she shed a teardrop. She was questioning
herself, why she trusted him? She remember once he said to her holding hands, ‘love,
I would never leave you alone. I promise.’ He broke his promise; he broke her
dreams as well, she dreamt of togetherness. A single word was revolving in her
mind that was ‘betrayal’.
“Your betraying me
is my life’s biggest disaster.
My heart is gone
with you, hence I’m dying faster.”
Suddenly a scene was projected in front of her eyes, a scene
of a car accident. A week ago, on his way to the office his car was terribly
smashed by a truck. He died on the spot. The last word which he uttered was her
name and with which he exhaled his last breathe. She was not ready to accept
the truth, the truth of his death, the truth that he left her alone.
“Leaving me alone,
you chose to die.
Promise of
togetherness was nothing but a lie.
Are these my tears
or has it just rained?
Leaving me burning
in agony, what have you gained?”
She was traumatized by his death. She wanted to end her
life but she chose to live with eternal pain calling his death betrayal.
