So, let’s go back to the story, which started 8 years back. While sipping coffee, he was constantly tapping on his phone, looking on the screen, waiting for her message for it has been 2 fucking days straight in which they haven’t talked. He was accustomed to talking to her rather than his daily life friends because somewhere in the corner of his heart he had feelings for her but as usual, like other guys he was afraid to express. He was in a dilemma whether he should call her or just wait for her because his curiosity was killing him inside, his eyes stuck to the phone screen with a hope that she will message him soon and his ears were dying to hear her voice.
It never seemed that they were long-distance friends for he knew that she was the only person with whom he ever felt comfortable in pouring out the emotions of his daily life and she is an active listener who used to patiently listen to him and then guide him. It was her kindness that had attracted him for he always wanted a partner like her in his life. She was like an angel for him, with whom he can share any secret of his, right from sharing the bottles of the whiskey he was drinking in the evening, to sharing of the lines he used to write. She was always like you must write, you are a good writer, but he casually took this statement of hers as it was just raw emotions he used to write and how gleefully she used to write his thoughts in her diary because she was proud of his writings. She was always like you will become a great writer one day and her statement turned out to be a truth in the real world today. But destiny being a bitch, played her role in ruining his bond with her for he was influenced by some stupid advice from his friends, he asked her to do something which would shame anyone, so how can she bear such an insulting thing. Even though she had blocked him on social media, she still hoped that he will call her, and on the other side of the world, he was afraid to hurt her if he calls her because he knew that he had hurt her and he didn’t have guts to face her.
Fast-forwarding to the present, he had decided to pour out his 8-year-old emotions which he had for her and he had a rose in his hand, for they had decided to do a video call to each other after a very long time. He was excited as well as nervous about what will happen but somehow he mustered courage and he poured out his emotions for her. Her face turned pale when she heard this, but somehow she controlled her emotions and in a very soothing tone, she told him about her past life, what had happened in her life after he abandoned her and the things which she was going through and how she was dealing with her situations.
After he abandoned her she felt so lonely and to overcome her heart break she went in to a relationship with a guy who mistreated her and despite all this she hid her tears and kept smiling because she was broken from inside.
When he heard this, the rose from his hand fell and tears started trickling down his eyes for he realized that he was her culprit and he didn’t know how to react as she only asked him just one question- why did he hurt her?
Didn't he realize that she was falling for her and what was her the fault that he made her suffer like this, because she's been dying every moment of her life past 8 years. He had no answers for he went numb and the phone fell from his hands.
As the evening sun began to set, he sat on the terrace with a bottle in his hand, gulping down whiskey through his throat and all he muttered was- “This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief” and he began crying and started muttering these lines as if they were an incantation.
