Never do I leave again

Part:2

            Then it came,"Riya!!! Where are you ? I asked you to be here by 9:30 and it's already quater past 10 . Don't forget that you've promised me to be here. I want you here right now or else I'll be there…". Well you've guessed right , Riya that's me and the person shouting at me of course the one I mentioned already who is none other than my best friend Alice . We've been through a lot together. Whatever the situation demands she was there with me , for me . We are partners now in our successful business, as like many graduates we started as employees and drifted of to being employers. Well that's a drastic change which brought along a lot of terrific incidents that time. But now , when we look upon those days with all those troubles, suffering in a new place surrounded by people with whom we cannot converse effectively. Oh there were days where we worked overnight ,time seems to fly. Here we are now with respectable names , we made our trademark . Well she had made an extra effort to maintain a family and emerged with flying colours. Yes , she got this nice little family - Adam , her husband, Anton, her cute little toddler, my godson too. He turned out 4 last month. And she's expecting another child by February. I won't say she's the best mother ever I saw but still she's the one who keeps them intact at any situation. I admire her a lot . Example of a perfect woman who can handle both her private and public life
With ease. I envy her upon this, not on the business one but the family part. I wish I could have a little family just like hers ,not that they leave me by myself.  I'm a part of their family , having well known Adam already made it all natural to be with them . But still there is this nagging thought that keeps me awake , why can't I move on? why can't I make a family ? This sounds pretty much same for a woman of my age right. Yet the case here makes my life a mess. I'm strangled in my past from where I can't remove myself. I've avoid every affair which might remind my past. But I can't run away always , can I ? Today's event is one of such affairs, which I would've normally avoided . But Alice made me promise to be here, so that I could move on with my life . To be honest I'm not sure that might happen. But I'm not a one to break promises. So, here I am at this place , my college, my haven for 4 years , the place which brought joy into my life, the place which introduced me to Alice , the place where we spent every day laughing, smiling, chatting, wandering around the campus , the same place where I was humiliated, where I lost all my hopes, where I lost my happiness.
