A Lost Love

“Have you reached home safely?” Pallavi sent the message

“Everything was OK” he replied

“Doesn’t you feel we have to talk about it?” He asked

“About what? She replied innocently

“Our relation, I am thinking about it for the last few days, we may no longer have the same bond as before,” he said

She understood everything about what was going to happen now.

He wanted to be with her but at that time he had no idea why he was doing these things, he was still remembering the scene of their first meeting.

“I do not understand what to answer now” She replied

“you do not have to reply,” he said.

(Yeah! They were not together anymore.)

Waiting for that early morning train had now become a heartbreaking mystery, and that smile of chutki had disappeared, those beautiful trees of her colony lost their beauty, redbud was no more that much green and his leaves had fallen. He was going to miss that chutki and her smile on that platform, he will miss her Vanni Singh. He was not aware that this will change him completely.

 10. Last seen a long time ago

Two years later,

Times have changed, people have changed, and Nicky has changed.

Nicky had completed his Bachelor's degree, and now he was pursuing MBA. Now he became a more confident, dedicated, motivated and hard-working person.

It was about 5 o'clock in the evening Nicky was seating on the couch, he was watching his favourite web series when the doorbell rang.

Nicky opened the door and he was astonished, it was Kriti, his college friend, she never visited his home before. He asked her to come in, they were happy as they met after a long time

“How is your life going?” Kriti asked

“I am doing well, tell me about you, how many affairs are going on?” Nicky asked laughingly

“You know that there was only one, that asshole ran away with someone else, and now there is no feeling for anyone, it all ended with him”, Kriti answered

“Ok”, Nicky said

“do you have a girlfriend?” she asked

“same like you, I had only one, HAHA” he answered

“I heard that you and Pallavi had broken up, what happened that time?” Kriti asked

“Now leave the old thing, it was a small issue,” Nicky answered

“But she did not do what my partner did, you could solve it,” Kriti said, shaking her eyebrows.

After that, they continued their friendly talk.

After two hours of their gossip, Kriti left for her place but the words of her were rounding in Nicky's head.

Nicky was thinking that maybe the situation could have been understood and his relationship could have been saved.

At night, he searched Pallavi in Sheetal's following list on Instagram, When he scrolled, a name emerged which was Pallavi1108, he sent follow request but he was not in the condition to message her, He didn't know what to say, He could only wait until his follow request was accepted.

Suddenly there was a notification, it was Pallavi.

“Hey”, Pallavi messaged.

There was a different joy on Nicky's face, he was smiling softly.

They started their chat, but that happiness was temporary and disappeared when she unveil her relationship status.

Their chat went on for a while even after this, but now Nicky's grief had compounded, his heart was heavy and was feeling like there is a stone in his heart.

After half an hour later, they were about to say goodbye, the last goodbye

“We should not talk to each other” Pallavi said

“What is the issue, I am not saying that we should be in relation but we can be friends,” said Nicky

“Persons who had been in relation once can’t be friends again” Pallavi replied.

Her Profile pic disappeared and the last hope for him also disappeared with that, what he saw was at his name’s place.
