We Too Had A Love Story

Moving on

SANJANA KUMAR

I rushed from that place as fast I could.Even the look that he gave me drived me crazy.I came back to my home.

I was sitting on the couch just thinking how everything around me reminded me of him.Was he fighting the came battle as I was? Maybe not,the song that played in the cafe didn't bothered him.Maybe he has moved on with his life or was he just pretending.My mind could just burst at that time.A little later, my phone rang.

It was from my mom.

'Hy, mom' I said.

'Hey honey so did you went to see him again' She asked hurriedly.

'No,mom' I said.

'Why?' She asked.

'I had an interview mom.I told you I'm not gonna meet any other guy' I said.

My mom had told me to meet a guy for my marriage.And I had already met 6 boys in the past six weeks.

'What is this? You only told me that you're ready for getting hitched and you didn't go to see him' She shouted.

'I don't want to meet anyone mom.If someone has to come my way,he will' I said.

'I'm not saying you to get married straight away but you should go out and meet new people.That is how you will find one' She said.

'Mom I don't want...' I said as she cut me and said,' you're still stuck at Virat,ain't you?'.

'What we had is finished mom why don't you understand' I said her.

'Its doesn't seem to me at least' She said.

'Okay then! I'm gonna go tomorrow and meet that guy' I said all in anger.

'That's great and I know you're gonna like him' She said.

'I just want you to move on with your life' She said.She sounded worried.Obviously every mother wants the best for her children and she wanted me to be happy.

'I know mom and I will' I said.

'Bye,take care' She said.

'Bye' I said and put the phone down.

My parents were worried about me.After all,I refused six guys.I just hoped that my heart agrees to move on fast.Who ever I met, there was just one face crossing my mind.Virat.I always thought of him before I fall asleep.The words he said,the way he looked.The things we laughed about,the silent moments we shared.And when I dream,I would dream of him.Because it was about him,always, about him.

The following day I dressed up nicely wearing a beige crop top and high waist black skirt with my favorite black wedge heels.I was to meet that guy at a five star hotel.My mom didn't tell anything about him.She just told me to ask at the reception. I reached the place and the hotel was stunning.I went inside to the restaurant.

'Hey,is there a table booked by the name Sanjana?' I asked at the reception.

'Yes,mam there' She said poitning towards the center most table with a guy sitting on it.I faced his back.

'Thank you' I said and started moving towards that guy.

I reached the table and he stood up.

'Oh my god! Vishal!' I screamed and hugged him.

I knew him.He was Vishal.We went to school together and we were really good friends.I was really happy to see him.He was a nerd but he looked quite different now.He looked smart.

'Its so good to see you after such a long time' He said and offered me to sit.

'Me too' I said and got setlled.
