Meeting Your Ex!

The Least Expected Meet? (1)

Before we start, I had unpublished this part as I thought, I had lost the sequels to this one and after announcing it on my message board, I found one of them in recycle bin. Clearly that announcement did not age well. Also, I jot down basic structure of the story in my diary. And I realized this later. So, here we are! The next sequel will be up within a week! Those who have read this one already, you can skip or take a look as per your wish. But you if you were missing my rants, scroll to the very bottom and tell me your views! Apologies And Happy Reading!

"Mere Kaandhe Pe Sir Ko Jhukana Tera, Mere Seene Mein Khudko Chupana Tera..." He shut the laptop right away as soon as this lines fell on his ears. "F*ck this I can't..." He mumbled. His jaw pained and his eyes felt heavy with tears. The song had a special place in his heart...and so did the person. Someone said it right... Never associate songs with a person. And by that someone he meant...his ex-girlfriend.

"Maine kitni baar kaha hai! Do not associate song with a person. Siddharthhhh." She said as her head rested on his broad shoulder and he sang the lines in his husky voice.

"Why?" He stopped singing and so did his thumb which was gently caressing her shoulder; and looked at her.

"The person goes away! Not the songs! Neither those memories!" She answered looking in his black eyes, her's telling him something which at the moment he wanted to push aside.

"Well, fair enough. But what if the songs are only the way to keep that person close? What if tricking your mind into think that person is with you, through that song is the only way?" He countered pressing her arm and holding her close.

"Siddharthhhh! Please. Let's not..." She whispered softly and looked at the stars twinkling through the window and moonlight coming through the window as they sat on the wooden floor with their backs resting on the side of bed...in each other's arms.

"Maybe she knew that already. Maybe what she meant was that: not even the memory of your ex lover should hold you back from moving on.... Maybe she was RIGHT." He told himself as the scene played in his mind, making him restless. She still had that effect on him! The laptop and song was closed shut but the chest filled with memories was already open and flowing freely. Her hazel eyes, her smile, those bunny teeth! He couldn't resist that flow of all her memories. It takes years for the river to cut those rocks and flow but the river of memories just need a second to cut through the walls one has built around the heart. That wall which needs sleepless nights, crying eyes, aching heart and days, moths or probably years... just breaks like a glass with a single flash of that beautiful smile.

He closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He can't be going back when she has moved on! He can't be going back when she is long gone. He can't be going back because she was..."Don't. Please Don't." He begged his mind to not say that. But his mind was totally against him. "He can't be going back because she was...she was with someone else out there...married." His arms fell loose, his legs felt like jelly, his stomach churned. A lump formed in his throat and his were already filled with tears.

"Papa! We need to go Aditya's birthday party! It is already 7!" He heard the sweet of his lifeline. His only reason to survive and his only reason to live with his broken heart. Athaang. His son.
At this moment, Athang was very angry and was glaring through Siddharth's soul! He was very particular about time and after all, it was his best friend's birthday! Of course Athaang had to be paranoid! He was all set with white shirt and black pants looking super excited! Siddharth smiled instantly looking at him and instantly changed his drained face to the ever charming one.
