The Broken Lovers Holding each other's hands, they were lying down on the wet grass in the secluded corner of their favorite park, they made a wish when they saw a shooting star, they must remain together no matter what happens, but after a few moments, she watched him vanishing like smoke in front of his eyes, dissolving in the air, and before she could do something she realized that again she had a dream about him. (Read full in caption) She sat up on the bed, unable to control her tears, for she thought that she had forgotten him but she realized she wasn’t aware of the fact that in some corner of the world, he was going through the same predicament every day. Somehow, she controlled herself and get up from the bed, and walked towards the kitchen as she wanted to have a cup of tea and wanted to refresh her mind before everyone wakes up. She was trying hard to escape the hauntings of the past but every time she failed for she was still living in the past. It was time to visit her ancestral home in Munnar, and as she began packing her bag, her fingers ran across the pink shirt which he had offered her on her birthday citing that she looks cute in Pink. Holding the shirt tightly she again tasted salt, but somehow she controlled her tears when her mother came to her room and asked her to get ready for her brother was ready to drop her at the station. As she reached the Boogey in the train, she was searching for her coach number and as her eyes went towards her ticket, her eyes went wide open for her coach number was 4. She murmured is destiny again playing a game with me? As she put her bag beneath her seat, she looked out of the window and responded to her brother was waving her Goodbye. As the train began to move, her mind again started taking back her to the past. The wind was brushing her hair across her face and she remembered how he used to brush her hair romantically. She closed her eyes and went down through the memory lane, for she wanted to travel her love journey again from the date it started- 4th April 2010, 10:15 PM, the date is still freshly imprinted in her mind because it is on this date that their journey of love began. “When the silence between two people is comfortable, it means they have found their love”, this line is apt for their love story. 1 year of knowing each other and still no communication regarding their feelings, except for waiting for the right time; that’s what shyness makes love birds crave. They knew each other for a long but were afraid of losing each other. Fortune favors the brave, this line was apt for him because he was the one who initiated a step by proposing to her, she was more than happy to say yes, but still, she wanted to play an ego game with him for she was a girl, HOW STUPID!!!!, but finally she said yes. Despite having an age difference of 1 year, they both complimented each other for they were mad at each other's love. Their batchmates were more than happy for them for they know that how mad both of them were. As her train stopped in between, her chain of thoughts broke and she came back into the real world. She held her head and murmured- “Control your emotions, he has moved on. He’s leading a happy life without you, why are you making yourself suffer?” The train will stop here for 15 minutes, TC announced and she came out to purchase a water bottle for she was thirsty, and she wanted to eat something too. She purchased a chips packet and Cadbury Silk (her favorite chocolate) and returned to her Boogey. As she began unwrapping the chocolate, she remembered their first date, where he brought her a bouquet of red roses and lots of chocolates. Being a surprise lover, she loved this act of him and she hugged him tight for this was an unexpecting surprise for her. They had ordered coffee in their favorite restaurant and as they began sipping coffee, he suddenly said- “MARRY ME”. Listening to this her throat choked for the coffee in her mouth was unable to pass through her windpipe. This was the last thing she had expected but it happened so suddenly that her mouth went dry. She didn’t know how to react, but she said she needs time to think. He asked her to accompany him for a drive and who would say NO to a long drive, not me she thought and they went for a long drive. While driving, he held her hand and kissed her palm and she began blushing like a newlywed bride. Paul Coelho’s lines- I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfill our destiny, but our fate is sealed; can be considered apt for her life. Like the old traditional thinking of Indian parents, their parents didn’t accept the love of their children for they were afraid about their image in society. No matter how hard you try, but can’t bulge the decisions of your parents even in this modern world. Even Cupid would have cried watching the love birds part ways, but sadly even he couldn’t do anything. As the train was about to reach the station, she picked her bag and walked towards the gate of the train for she wanted to divert her mind. As she reached the gate, she froze like a piece of ice for he was also at the gate, waiting for the train to reach the station. The irony isn’t it, both were on the same train just sitting in the opposite Boogeys but were unaware of each other’s presence.
