The Miracle We Met

Final Chapter 42

Chanyeol was all silent when I told him first to separate our ways in the park. But today, everything was coming out, which was buried  deep inside him. 

"I thought you have changed. You have moved on from him. But in the pic, you both are talking like old friends. Why didn't you tell me about your meeting with him? That means you have something to hide. If you have those thoughts of returning back to him..you should have told me. I would have never stopped you. But the way you did...and these things came out..I don't think I can forgive you. Never."

Those were his last words and disconnected his phone. I was standing in the balcony of the Guest House in Jeju island...just watching the silent ocean waving slowly. I remembered the ocean has always been a witness of some turning points, that were in mine and Chanyeol's relationship. Last time it was in Alibagh and then in Jeju. It saw upraised there and downfall here. Just watching at the ocean, I got reminded of those memories. I was trying my best to control my tears.

 'Of course, I lost him but now I have given him the reason to hate me. He can break all his ties easily from me now. It won't be hard on him. He will quickly move on.'  With these thoughts, I explained and consoled myself. For whole next week I stayed back in Jeju alone. Spending my time alone, not taking much phone calls. All I did there was talking with the waves, listening to the winds in field, resting on rocks, walking in moonlight and roaming around streets. That helped me a lot to clean my heart and thoughts. Sometimes, it's not the words from others which comfort you but the words from your inner self or the conversation with yourself, help you. Being alone on that island, gave me a lot of strength to face world again. It was a much needed break that I wanted at that time. It was not running away it was just vacation which I needed for myself.

I returned from Jeju with much more energy and enthusiasm. Everyone was happy to see my positivity. Article matter was all solved now. My project work was almost done. New project was going to start after my return from India.

Everyone was preparing for the ceremony back in India. I insisted Navi, Rakhi and Manisha to come on that day. They were anticipating that something was wrong with me. According to them, my behaviour was changed but I said to them they are just thinking too much. Of course, Vartika was already in Delhi and she was our common friend so we invited her. All other preparation was made by our parents. Even my outfit were decided my them only. I took least interest in all those stuff.

A week before my flight to India, I went to Seoul tower with my dorm mates in the evening. Somewhere in the park, people were gathered. When we asked someone, she told us that a movie shooting was going on. A famous kpop idol was shooting a scene. My friends got excited and they dragged me too to the place where shooting was going on. We saw a tall figure sitting on chair and reading script. Face was not clear so we went to other side to get a more clear look. 

It worked. As we changed our side, everyone saw someone & started shouting. He was...Chanyeol. My heart skipped a beat as if I saw him for the first time.

Then some staff members came and asked them to cop-orate. When they came towards us, Chanyeol looked up from his papers. We were at distance so I guessed he must have not seen me. I realized that was the distance which we must have followed from the starting. He was not a person whom I should have known personally. He was a star and I was just a mere fan..nothing else. I asked my friends to leave now. We left that place. A drop of tear was waiting in my eyes to flow down but I wiped it quickly.

Soon the day came when I had my flight to India. I packed just one handbag and got ready. Both girls were busy with their final submission so they felt sorry that they couldn't come to drop me to the airport. I assured them that I will be okay, they should not worry much.
