OBLIVION (series -1)

Chapter- 29

INAAYA

Seeing Mr. Roy in front of me ALIVE, was like the biggest relief and the best present I have ever gotten! I didn't knew why was I feeling like this, but all I knew was I would do anything to keep this man alive!

Is this, what LOVE is supposed to be? That you are willing to sacrifice anything even your own life for someone who you have just met recently but develop such an amazing connection that you are convinced that you have known them for ages!, That you are connected with them so much emotionally that you are scared of letting them go? Isn't it a little bit cliche?That the one's you are known and grown up with  throughout your entire life are not connected with you  emotionally that much as the ones who you end up loving ?

It was all making sense now, Why I didn't settled for a guy till now?, Why it didn't make any sense with Armaan?, Why it didn't felt anything when Armaan kissed me? Doesn't it all come down to just one word, emotional attachment,,, in the end rather than the physical attraction? Although , some people , argue it otherwise but it's all a lie, isn't it? what's a physical attraction without an emotional one? It's just like you are living your life for others, to keep them happy but deep down you are dead inside! And I bet more than half of the world's population is living this way, as,,, to find the great love of your life in your lifetime is next to impossible! And those who do find them , loose them due to their own stupidities!

I may not be a philosopher, but all I know is that person standing in front of me is worthy of my love even if he never reciprocates his feelings back for me ever! I will always remember him as the great love of my life!

Aren't all the great love stories of the world seems to have ended tragically? for instance , Romeo Juliet, Laila Majnu , I mean they have some serious depressing endings!

In that moment, I realized maybe I don't have a future with this guy,,, But all I have is NOW!

So, I sprinted towards him , totally forgetting the diminishing presence of Armaan besides me! And hugged Mr. Roy so tightly that I feared I might choke myself to death! He immediately responded by putting his arms around me which might mean he had some feelings for me too!

That was the first time ,I feared of the great OBLIVION, feared of losing him, feared of losing myself completely and irrationally to him. That was the first time, I realized how beautiful LOVE was and what I was missing throughout these years! That no matter of words can overcome the emotional connection we shared at that moment!

But as it is mentioned in every love stories, "happiness doesn't last for long!", a man with long beard behind Mr. Roy that only I could see was pointing his rifle towards Mr.Roy!
