"Listen Dev. I..I am sorry. Please let me explain" I pleaded while taking my steps back.
"Sorry? Really? Ms Aasha Sharma" he asked with a smirk.
Now my back hit the wall i gasped. His face is few inches away from mine. Suddenly he held my waist tigh...
Memories…..Memories stays same in our heart but not our feelings our circumstances. Once a happy memory can also make you cry to the extent where you can't even breathe. The same happy memories can also make you feel how lonely you are now.
Some memories brings smile on our lips when we remembers it. Some memories bring tears from our eyes when we remembers it. But some memories brings both smile and tears.
A whole year has been passed. Everything is changed in my life. Everything…..except the person who resides in my heart.
Dev……
"Excuse me"
i came out of my thoughts hearing some one's voice. I turned around to see who it is. Then I saw a newly married couple looking at me with a bright smile on their face.
"Yes?" I asked them.
"Hi! We are newly married couples and came to Manali for our honeymoon. Can you please help us to capture our pictures?" he asked me while stretching his hand to give me his phone. I smiled at them while taking the phone from his hand.
"Sure" I said. They gave some poses so that I can take their pictures. After taking more than five pics I returned the phone to him.
"Thank you so much" that girl said shyly looking at me.
"No mention" I said returning her smile. Then they both left the place. I looked at their retreating back. That girl's husband wrapped his arm around her shoulder hugging her close to him.
If it were not of my decision, me and Dev would have been married by now. I hugged myself tightening my thick coat to prevent myself from the freezing wind. I walked further on the snow covered path while watching the tourist and honeymoon couples who are capturing pictures of Manali's beauty. Its true Manali is famous for its nature beauty. But this beautiful Manali only kept reminding me of him. This freezing Wind and the snow only made me miss of his warm embrace. I miss him very much. Every minute, every second I miss him. If he had here with me, he would have kissed me countless time, he would have trapped me in his embrace to keep me warm from his freezing cold. Why my fate has to be so cruel to me? Why?
I stopped in front of my house gate. It's not a big house at the same time not too small. It has a bedroom, kitchen, a spacious living room and a small garden. I rented this house after I got a job in the university where I work there as a commerce proffesor. It's not far away from the University. So it's convenient for me to reach there on time. I went inside my house with a sigh. I removed my coat and scarf and left to my kitchen to prepared a hot coffee for myself. I heard someone ringing my door bell. I kept the coffee on the kitchen counter and went to open the door.
