Last Love

-

The story is about to end, you are my last love. I still remember the last time she left the house, I was consoling her, she was crying, she knows that I was doing it on purpose but didn't asked me the reason. That was her thing, she never asked me the reason why I'm doing such things because she knows that I had reasons for doing it, then she came close to me and slowly hugged me and listen to my heartbeat, it was very fast but when she hugged me tightly it seems like the moment had stopped. And in this moment it was only me and her and the sound of the clock. She was holding her tears, and slowly I put my fingers beneath her chin and pull up her face and for the last time kiss her on the forehead, then she left. The house was still smelling with her perfume and then I saw our bed where she was lying on it with his turtle with her favourite blue "Calvin Klein" pushup bra with white border and her damaged baggy jeans, but now it was just me and her turtle, and then everything turned blank.

Next thing I remembered that, she was sitting in front of the mirror, her eyes were holding the tears, then suddenly a drop of tear came out of her eyes, she wiped it. I was standing at the corner of the room and watching her but I couldn't help her in wiping her tears, then someone knocks the door and said, "are we ready?", she just nod her head. That was her another thing, whenever she was filled with sadness and anger she never talks, she only nods her head and talk with eyes with me. Then she gets up and started walking towards the door and when she was getting down from stairs, every steps which was falling on wooden stairs were making a loud noice because the house was empty and sound was echoing across the corridor.

Then she opens the shoe rack and take out the sandal, which was of simple peach color. I still remember the day when she was buying that sandal, the first day I saw her. She was wearing threader earrings, which were just flowing with the wind and her lips, that heart shaped cut lips with a simple peach lipstick and her nose, the gods today also give paradigm of the structure of her nose. And her dark brown eyes, which sometimes become that big, which looks like the whole universe has situated in it, and above all her dark green jodhpuri kurti and all that were perfectly blending with the most beautiful thing, her smile. Then she opens the door and started moving towards the car and when she was sitting in the car, she just turn back and one last time saw the house and the car engine started running and she was not there.

Then she entered in her new house with a man, the man kissed her and then he put the car keys on the table and beside the keys there was a newspaper and the headline of it was "Fan favourite writer dies of cancer" and straight above it on the wall the writer's photo was hanging.

Hope : A short story

-
The last page of the diary turned and the man starts writing, "how foolish we humans are that, we fall for the things that we know won't be possible for us, just like a dead soldier's wife waiting for her husband's letter, just like a son is longing for his dead father to come by one day. But these are the things which keeps one alive which we call 'hope,' which makes a dead person alive for others, and isn't it beautifully foolish how a thing which cannot be happen makes one alive in a different manner, for instance, I'm on my deathbed, falling in love with life .

A letter to Emilie

Hey Emilie, I know that you never had a hero in your sky although you have eyes like a fallen star, I know that you don't like to celebrate your birthday but you have kept the necklace that your mother gave you on your 17th birthday, I know that you love late night talking but you also love the early morning tea, I know you are a good listener but you also need a listener at the end of the day. And I also know that it's your career which has taken you so far from me, but I have kept your kindergarten scrapbook, your first certificate from art competition, your first piggy bank by your grandmother, your first essay about your father, and some memories, whenever you'll come, just sit and we'll talk about them with two cups of tea under the stars.
