❤️Chapter Twenty Five❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absently walked out of the airport lost in deep thought. I was still thinking about the old man and his words. What was he trying to say?
"Sir" Mandy's voice startled me.
I glanced at him and he gave me a smile. I returned the smile weakly and got on the car.
Mandy sat on the driver seat and asked "are you alright sir? You seem lost somewhere."
"Yeah, just exhausted" I said leaning my back and closing my eyes.
"So, you will be heading back to your apartment right?" asked Mandy not being sure.
"Of course, I am do you have any other plan?" I asked still with my eyes closed.
"No, I just thought you might like to visit centre before going to your apartment" he replied.
I opened my eyes and said "why would I do that?"
"Because it's been long so I thought you would like to see her first."
"Mr. Mandy seems to think too much these days. Tell me one thing why would I like to see someone else's wife?" I rolled my eyes.
"Why would you celebrate someone else's wife's birthday?"
I widened my eyes and said furiously "should I kick you out of the car. It is better you concentrate on your work rather than on my personal stuff."
"I am sorry" he apologized quickly.
"You better be" I said and closed back my eyes trying to take some rest but Mandy's words drew me back to Lisa's thoughts.
"What would she be doing now? Maybe, living happily with her husband. But she didn't wanted to go back. Whatever it is it's none of my business she have different path to walk so do I. I should no more be affected by her."
"Sir, we are here" Mandy brought me back to my sense.
I opened my eyes looked around before getting down from the car. I walked to my apartment and plonked on the couch. I was back in my lifeless apartment. I looked around my apartment thinking about the beautiful moments spend with Lisa on her birthday.
I got up and stood by the window trying to control myself from thinking about her. But glancing down from the window made me recall how I chased Lisa away. She was not ready to go but I forced her to go. Her eyes before leaving flashed on my mind.
I was no more in control. I grabbed my keys and walked outside. I drove my car towards the centre without knowing what I was doing. She was gone like in past but this time it was I who chased her away.
At least last time I had a feeling that I tried but it was too late. So, in another life I would make her mine. But this time I was regretting it. There was guilt inside me "why did I let her go?"
I got down from my car and walked inside. But as I reached the hall I was no longer able to take any steps further. The feeling of her not being there was making my eyes wet. So I turned around and walked outside. I sat on the staircase absently watching at the gate where she used to stand and bid me bye.
Tears rolled down my eyes and I was letting it go. I had no thought of wiping it away and getting up trying to be strong. I was fade up showing how strong I was because no matter how hard I tried I would always end up being the weakest.
"She is gone..."
I jolted hearing Jessica's voice. I had no idea when she came and sat beside me. I hurriedly wiped my tears away. I didn't want her to see me crying.
"I know you had feelings for her so you don't have to hide your tears. I know it long before when I first saw you with her and the way you looked at her explained how much you adore her. So this moment I am taking myself as your friend and want to share something about her with you only if you don't mind."
I glanced at her and nodded my head.
"Lisa was the most talented student in our grade. She was so active and great artist as well for which she got a sponsor to take the responsibility of all her school expenses. Along with being good on study she was good at loving as well."
I passed a shocked gaze at her with my wide eyes.
Nodding her head she continued "yeah, you heard it right. She was so madly in love with a boy. But saddest thing is she never got any chance to say that boy how much she loved him. It was our last day of high school our exams were over and she said that she was going to talk with the boy that day. I was happy for her and prayed that she would succeed.
I didn't knew it would be the last time seeing her because the very next day I was sent to another city by my parents to prepare for my further studies. When I returned back I got to know that she was already married. I didn't knew who she was married to I just came to know that she was forced into that marriage."
