(The Last Conversation – II)

“AJ sit down” she said pulling my hand.

I sat beside her. She moved closed to me, took my hand into her hand and leaned on my shoulders.

“AJ I can spend a life sleeping on your shoulder.”

“Then I think I should make my shoulders really strong.”

“Hahaha…!! I am not that heavy” she said looking anxiously into my eyes.

“Just kidding… You can never be heavy for me .”

A long silence…

“AJ so what do you want to do with this relation between us? Did you decide anything or you just want the same mess to continue?”

“Given a chance I would have married you right now, but I have a plan.

We both will study in same intermediate college and you also like do Engineering right? So by hook or crook we will try to be in same college and after that 2 years I will do my masters in US and come back then I will come to your father and ask your hand. Obviously he will refuse but still I guess we can convince him.” I said and started looking into her eyes, anxiously waiting for her reply.  

She smiled and asked“AJ if we are not in same college for all this 6 years, if we never meet in this complete process and if we never got a single chance to talk with you?”

“Then I will see you after I complete my studies and I believe even that day I will have the same love on you.” I said with little high pitch.

 “No AJ, It’s not going to work anymore, what you are saying is really wonderful and Yes I truly and heart fully feel that it should happen but life is not what we imagine, it’s what we have never thought, it always keeps us on our knees. I can’t take this pain anymore AJ. I am indeed blessed to have so many memories which you gifted me to treasure for one full life. Let us end everything here.”

          I was speech less. I know this a way before when she pulled my hand and rested on my shoulder. But how can we end everything just in a moment.

“So you want to leave me and the reason is that you don’t trust me.”

“I trust you more than myself, stop saying that AJ” she is now broken into tears.

“So you think that I will be behind other girls and I will forget you,” I said with an more of depressed tone rather than being angry.

“No..no don’t say that AJ, I just this that we cant even talk peacefully over phone. You have got restrictions and so do I. though we try hard this is not going to work and we both are going to be victims of our fate. So let us end everything here. Let us move on and if I really find you after 8 years I will be blessed to hold your hand and walk the rest of my life with you. And if I don’t then I will live with what memories you bestowed me.”

I was speechless. I know it’s her foolishness to leave me this way but she had her point in whatever she was speaking. She stood up and started walking .

“NISHA……” I shouted her name.

She dint look back.

“Nisha I love you” , I said, my voice mumbled and tears started to started to roll down.

She tuned back, came close to me and took both my hands and said “ I love you too AJ.., and I never want to leave you but i have too..”

Nisha started to walk away leaving my hands. I stood there helplessly, I dint knew whether its our parents or our own fate which separated us and at that time I felt that my soul left my body. I was truly dead at that moment mentally.

In one moment it seemed that world stopped, love which I have been in was broken into pieces, my girl, NISHA she left me. She dint even turn back. She just walked out of my life sweetly saying the bitterest words that "Everything is over". My girl, my love, my High School Sweetheart left me.

“NISHA…!!!

NISHA….!!!

I SHOUTED HER NAME BUT SHE DINT TURN BACK, I WAS GOING ALL THE WAY BEHIND HER, BUT SHE LEFT ME AND MY LIFE.”
