Forever

Emily

"um excuse me are you alright" I quickly wiped away my tears and looked up there stood a young girl about my age.

"Ye-s I am fine thank you"

"Ok if you say so...by the way I am Emily" she sat beside me

"Sanjana" I lightly smiled.

"Well you are really pretty...Indian?"

"Thank you yes I am Indian"

"Ok so friends?" she took out her hand

"Su-re"

"So now that we are friends let's go out for coffee there is this close coffee shop and they have amazing blueberry muffins" she clapped her hands in excitement I just giggled at her actions and agreed.

"Hello two coffees and two blueberry muffins"

"Please wait 10 minutes"

"Come sanjana let's go sit at that table" she took hold of my hand and took me towards a table .

"So tell me why did you come all the way from India to Austria"

"To get married to my fiance" I casually said later realising what I had done.

"Fiance?" She asked confused.

"Ye-ah but forget that I ever told you that" I lightly said, remembering his words.

"No tell me Sanjana what do you mean my fiance? where is he now? and is he the reason why you were crying?" She inquired

"He got married".

"What! I am hella confused"

"Well you have to promise me that you will keep this a secret"

"Ok ok I promise"

"Well when I was in India my fiance Aman and I were deeply in love...or so I think we were...anyway we loved each other but my mom was not well and so I had to take care of her at all times and then I also had a job at school so I was very busy at all times and so I couldn't give Aman time..he went crazy one day and he broke up with me I went into depression and it took me time to come out off it...however my friend Ria and my mom helped me a lot and so I finally started living again however after a year I met Aman again at a book store all the memories came running in my mind again and I collapsed infront on Aman...later on he started coming to my house again and started meeting with me...he became the same old Aman I always loved...and I couldn't ask for anything more deep down I knew I still had feelings for Aman he proposed me and I hurriedly agreed for engagement since mom still wasn't very well and I couldn't just marry and leave my mother to die..we got engaged and later Aman went to Austria he said whenever I would be ready we will get married...after a few months my mom started showing improvement and she forced me to go to Austria and get married to Aman I was reluctant at first but later on I agreed because I also realised I had to move on in life and get married...I tried contacting Aman but he never received my calls and messages I thought it might be connection problem so I ignored it and came all the way to Austria once I reached his apartment my heart broke seeing a half naked girl in his apartment who claimed my Aman as his husband I couldn't take it anymore and I left that Bastard ...and do you know what he was worried about and told me not to tell his mom that he had married an Austrian girl can you believe it? Can someone be so horrible and shameless?" Tears threatening to fall again but I kept them in I didn't want to appear weak, i was further confused why i had let a random girl who i met like 30 minutes ago know all this but I knew I had to let someone know all this.

"Sanjana I am really sorry...that Bastard doesnt know what he is missing....but you have to move on you have your whole life yet you are young and beautiful all you need is a makeover and some new clothes and you don't know what you are hiding beneath this scarf and whatever it is" she touched my dupatta with a confused look on her face.

"It's called shalwar kameez"

"Yeah whatever"

"But Emily I have hardly any money I am stranded in this place...I have nowhere to go".

"Find a job!"

"It's not that easy...who will accept me I don't even understand Austrian language."

"Well sanjana right now you can come and live with me...we will search for a job together and once you have a job you can pay me the rent as much as you want."

"No no I can't do this I don't want to trouble you Emily you are an amazing girl and I'd love to be your friend but this is not right you might be having a family I can't just barge in".

"Hey I live alone my family is in London...you can come live with me besides you won't trouble me it will indeed be so nice to have company and when you will find a job , pay me for the room and later when you have enough money just buy yourself a new apartment".

"Ar-e you sure?" I asked confused

"100% besides I can give you a few German classes that will make it easier to get a job".

"Really you're amazing Emily " I hugged her

"That I am come on now let's eat this muffin it's already cold"

"Yeah and Emily thanks again"

"No worries!" She smiled.
