Love Takes Time

•1• Goodbye

She opened the window and looked outside. Sun shone brightly, birds chirping,children playing and shouting around. What a beautiful day. But not for her,this day was going to change her life. She had decided to leave him. It was not working between them now. Earlier she was unsure about it but what happened last night made her decision strong.

She tried her best but nothing can be done now. She waited, she tried, she put efforts yet nothing changed. Now she lost all her hopes. She should move on in life. She should make her life beautiful. She should explore her life,live her life. She should do whatever makes her happy.

"But you should talk to him about this" her elder sister, Sanya's voice rang in her ear as she remembered the day Sanya had called her. Sreya told Sanya everything.
"I tried Di. He has changed a lot. Nothing is same anymore. And I too have my own life to take care of. I won't run after him lifetime" Shreya complained. Sanya sighed.

"Your life is complete with him. Think again Shreya...don't ruin things between you and Aman."Sanya tried to make her understand. But Shreya won't listen to anybody now. She had made her decisions.
"What is left to ruin? I am already suffering mentally because of him"Shreya said as tears welled up in her eyes.
"You should be an understanding wife Shreya. Clear all the misunderstandings" Sanya tried again but deep down she knew Shreya won't stop now. She was quite stubborn. .

Shreya laughed in a bitter way.
"Understanding? You think I am not understanding. And why should I be understanding every time huh. Let him understand this time."Shreya said in a sarcastic tone and Sanya sighed.

Shreya closed her eyes and let tears flow down her cheeks. She looked at her packed bags and then took a glance at the wall clock. She would be far,so far from him after 3 hours and he had no idea about that.

She looked at her room for the last time. She looked at the photo frame on the wall. It was their wedding day. One of the best day of her life. She was so happy and never imagined that she will leave him like this someday. The whole room was decorated according to her taste. Aman loved what she loved.

Memories from past came in her mind. Their laughter echoed in her ears. She hated the way things had been changed between them. She pulled one of the drawer and took out a diary. She has written something for Aman.

She took a photo frame kept on the side table and hugged it. She closed her eyes and felt many emotions. She didn't know what was wrong and what was right yet she was firm in her decision. Suddenly the door opened and Aman came in. He looked at the packed bags with confusion yet he was not so confused.

He was responsible for what was happening. But like everyone he also thought that she should be understanding. She quickly wiped her tears but he was too quick to notice them. He never felt good seeing her cry yet most of the time he is the reasons behind her tears.

He slowly made his way towards her. With each step her heartbeat increased. She just hoped that she won't get manipulated by him, not this time.
He somewhere knew he won't be able to stop her this time. He didn't want to. If he wanted then may be he could stop her but he wasn't willing to do so.

He knew that it will be best for her to leave him. There were mixed feelings. He didn't want to lose her yet he didn't want her to stay. His heart was breaking apart yet he stayed strong. She stood up as he was few meters away. She thought that he will ask her to stop so she started.
"Look Aman, I have made my mind and I am not going to change.."but before she could complete her sentence, he put his finger on her lips shutting her.
"Shhhh"he said and looked deep in her eyes.

Earlier he could see his whole world in her beautiful eyes but now her eyes were flooded with certain emotion he couldn't pin point. She looked at him in confusion. He took the frame from her hand and put it on the bed. He hugged her tightly and for his surprise she hugged him back. He kissed her hair and she just closed her eyes sadly. She still could feel those butterflies in her stomach.

The only thing that was not changed between them was that she still felt in the same way when he touched her. She was unsure about his feelings but he also felt the same way. He didn't wanted to break their hug. She felt safest in his arms. Reality struck her and she tried to pull apart but he was holding her tightly and too busy in his thoughts to notice that she was trying to break their sweet embrace.

He was always too strong being a captor or she never tried to get rid of him. It was probably the last time she was in his arms and this thought broke his heart into million pieces. Life is hard sometimes.
"Aman..I should go now otherwise I will miss my flight"she whispered and he let go of her.
"Shre,Be in touch"was all he could say.
"I am not sure. Good Bye"she said in a bitter tone yet he was not surprised. He gave her a smile but she couldn't smile back. She was bad at hiding feelings unlike him.

For a second, she thought about not leaving then she remembered all the reasons to leave him. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and took her bags. After taking a last glance at the room she closed the door of her bedroom with a heavy heart.

Aman just stared her leaving. He should have said a lot of things to her. Ask for forgiveness, thank for everything yet he chosed to remain silent for some reasons..
