Say something Avinash… Speak baba….Why are you silent??? Why don’t you say anything??
Avinash is silent… His eyes are wandering…. He is speechless… numb… still….
Avinash please speak up…. I want to hear you… Your silence is killing me… I cant bear it… Please Avinash….
The train started hooting….
Mini you get into the train… The train has started moving… Get up.. Go….
Avinash helped Mini board the train… She saw the pain in his eyes…She too had the same pain in her eyes…. But she was helpless….
She was able to look up at him, coz it was her decision… but he…. He couldn’t face her….
Mini and Avinash came to know each other through a common friend…. They started with small chats over emails which moved on to sms. Later it was extended phone calls… Then one fine day Mini realized she was in love with Avinash… But this was not a good news for her… Her priorities were different and she couldn’t afford to fall in love with anyone… There is no space for love in her life… She had other commitments towards her parents… Moreover Avinash was from a different caste…. Her parents would never accept this relation… And she can never upset them…
Still love is love…. Such a powerful emotion that nothing else remains in mind…. Though she knew that she didn’t have a future with Avinash, she never wanted to hurt him…. She had come to meet Avinash to stop their relation even before they could start… She had planned the visit to tell him to stop here before it becomes difficult for them to part from each other..
As planned she spent the entire day happily with him… And at the end of the day, when it was time for her to leave she expressed herself to Avinash.
Avinash I know and even you realize that we are more than friends now… But Avinash you know me and my priorities.. You know I can never get into a relation… I know that you understand me very well and that is the only reason that you have not disclosed your feelings to me… I appreciate you for this… I am thankful to you….
Avinash was silent… He couldn’t comprehend what was happening.. Rather he was not prepared for this…
Avinash I think we should stop talking to each other now… Atleast we should reduce our calls…. Else it would become difficult for us… I hope you understand…..
Sitting in the train Mini was recapitulating the entire day in her mind… The whole thing was running in her mind like a non stop film… She was so engrossed in her thoughts that the beep of the phone shook her to reality…..
She took the phone and read the sms…. Tears started rolling down her cheeks…
