It was a sunny day when I was waiting for my wife to come at the Mall, so that we could buy clothes for our child. She was 1 hour late. I made a call and found that she was with her mum and they were waiting for the car mechanic to put the new tyre and convert the punctured one.
It was too late. I must go back to my office. My clients must be waiting for me. Just when I plan to leave that place, I struck a lady. I was going to say sorry, when my senses stopped cooperating me. It was Samantha. My mouth was opened and I was steering like I never say a girl before. She looked at me and said its okay, its not new between us.
So we meet again. She asked me about my wife, children and our old friends. I said they were all okay. Not allowing to let me talk, she again asked about me health. She said that you are seeing quite weak. I said no! It's just work pressure.
It was my turn to fulfill the formalities, so I asked her about her health, house and even if she good married yet or not. She said that she is not yet married. When I asked why, she answered that there was some question with my fiancée a 3 years back. And after lots of house pressure I am again going exchange rings with a new man. I asked her what was the guess that her relation broke 3 years earlier. She said nothing just then I was not able to resolve whom I love and whom I don't.
This strange rejoinder made me think carefully on the issue, but then I saw a guy arrival near her. She introduced that guy as her fiancée. We just shaked hands and moved on. I looked back and she was waving her hand towards me. I did the same.
I remembered that when I got engaged she was not there. And she did not came to my marriage. At that time she went to U.S. For supplementary studies. Well it was a nice day, as I met my oldest and sweetest and most respectable friend. I was feeling good. My anger towards my wife was over. So I decided to sit the restaurant and wait for my wife and child and of course my mum in law.
At the restaurant I met Sandy. He said he is the owner of the restaurant and now told that I am his special guest. The coffee was free for me I thought. We asked about what we were doing these days. He said that he got married last year. And his wife is pregnant. I asked him about Samantha. Does he know anything about her. He said that the poor girl broke her marriage 3 years earlier and after so much interval she is again going to be engaged. I said you know everything about her and how does that happens. He said she was going to be married to my elder brother. I immediately asked her then you must be knowing the guess what made her engagement broke. She is so beautiful, sweet and lovable someone then how come such a nice lady has to face such a problem.
He looked at me and moved his head down. I again asked why her engagement was broken and why was she saying that I could not resolve at that time whom I love and whom I don't?
He answered it was due to you. I was so astonished. How is it possible I asked. He said that on the day of engagement she started crying and remembered she called you also. I said yes, it might be due to new relationships.
Sandy moved his head. I said tell me the truth. He said that easily she stopped the engagement because she was missing you at the party. She told me that she feels alone without me. It was the same day when you were getting engaged. She also made you call to tell you the she loves you. But you were so happy with your engagement that you could not understand, what she was trying to say on the phone.
I said it is impossible. I also loved her. But she never said anything to me. I plan if I said anything to her than I might loose a good friend too. If she only had said once I would leave everything for her love. I looked up and complaint god what is this. Anyway I must move now. I said bye paid the bill and went out of the restaurant with heavy heart.
There I saw Samantha leaving the place with her fiancée. She looked at me from the car. They both waved bye to me, and I did the same. The car went closer from me. And so did Samantha. She was steering in my eyes and her eyes were glowing. I felt like she still loves me. And may be I too...
