"MILES APART"

They were at the airport. Standing still, Looking at the crowd. Mallika had a sack on her back and a suitcase beside her.

Mallika:
This is it?
Sumedh:
This is it.
Mallika:
Can we not fight?
Sumedh:
Can you not pretend?
Mallika:
Enough Sumedh! Jaa rahi hu main, ab toh theek se baat karlo!
Sumedh:
Get the fuck out of my sight or stay here with me Mallika. Don't try to make this easy.

Sumedh spat in one breathe.

Mallika:
Fine! I'll choose option one!

Sumedh holded the suitcase, ready to go. Mallika snatched her suitcase back.

Mallika:
I don't need your help Sumedh!

After this...It was comman to expect she would leave. But she stood in front of him. Just looking at him. Both of theirs legs fixed to the floor. Not moving.

Sumedh:
Don't look at me like that Mallika. Please don't.
Mallika:
Why?
Sumedh:
It's....Its hurting me.

She turns her back on him. Starts walking away from him. Slightest sound of his sobs reach her ears. She bits her lower lip to control her tears too.
She turned around. Sumedh was still looking at her. She took fast steps him and he took some slower ones.
Her arms wrapped around his neck, his arms wrapped around her waist. Their eyes closes as her lips fixed on his deep. Just one deep long kiss.
She parted from him and didn't even look at him. Just walked into the airport leaving Sumedh behind, Listening to his own sobs.

Sumedh:
I PROMISE YOU MALLIKA SINGH. YOU WILL NEVER SEE MY FACE AGAIN.

He even texted the same thing to her.
Sumedh being typical mard...Straight went to the bar.  Drank few beers.

Bartender:
Are you alright buddy?
Sumedh:
Nope..
Bartender:
What happened?
Sumedh:
Why do you care?
Bartender:
Because if you tell your pain, You will drink more and I will get more money.

Bartender said with a straight face.

Sumedh:
I promised MY GIRL to never show her my face.
Bartender:
Owwww! Bad shit buddy!.
Sumedh:
Shit is always bad buddy.
Bartender:
Love is shit buddy.
Sumedh:
No..Shahrukh Khan said..Its is the most beautiful feeling in the world. But love gets shitty...you know why?
Bartender:
Why?
Sumedh:
BECAUSE WE DO SHITTY THINGS IN LOVE. LOVE DOESN'T DESTORY US...WE DO THINGS THAT DESTROY US.
Bartender:
Good words. So tell me...what is your girl like?
Sumedh:
Amazing. Beautiful. Feisty. Independent. Sensitive. Wild. Ethical. Strong. Patriot
Bartender:
Why leave her then?
Sumedh:
She left me.
Bartender:
Tell me about yourself.
Sumedh:
Handsome. Not So Amazing. Wild but only in bed. Not Stronger than her. Sensitive only for my feelings. Shallow maybe...Patriot is comman between us.
Bartender:
Why do you love her?
Sumedh:
Love?? I...When did I say I love her?
Bartender:
You just said just big things about love...
Sumedh:
Buddyyyy! I LIKE HER. I REALLY REALLY LIKE HER VERY VERY MUCH.

Bartender smirked at Sumedh. Sumedh was pouring himself another glass, Bartender stopped him.

Sumedh:
What?
Bartender:
The next drink is WHEN YOU ADMIT THAT YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH HER.
Sumedh:
What do u mean?
Bartender:
YOU ARE SCARED. SCARED TO USE THE STRONG WORD.
Sumedh:
What strong word?
Bartender:
LOVE FOR LIKE. LOVE IS THE STRONGER WORD FOR LIKE.
