New Moon

Neha is looking out of the window of her luxurious room, deeply mesmerized by the elegant and comforting rays of the white moon. No one can predict from the calmness of her face that currently her heart is going through strong waves of emotions. Today is her twenty fifth birthday, but for her the day seems like all other days. The Neha that always used to get exited a month earlier, always inform her dad and brother what she wants for her birthday, invite all her friends twice. Anyone can tell from the great celebration that she was definitely a pampered girl that don't know about the hardships of the life, but now the same cheerful girl sitting her dark room silently.

Time surely is a magical sword that use the spells of circumstances. In middle of her rumination, a slow voice penetrates through the curtains asking her if she willing to eat or not. She remained silent for two minutes and then deny without looking at the direction of voice, the figure tries to say something to persuade her but leave after some time. Everyone expecting the arrival of their master on Neha birthday for celebration, although they know that the relation of their master and madam is now not in good terms, but they can't believe that their young master can be so careless that he forget the first birthday of her wife after marriage. After thinking about the reason, why their kind and simple madam get treated like this by young master, they start removing the decoration and food. After one hour later the charming scene change into dull and calm. 

In the room, small tear drops fall from hazel eyes, the large eyelids try to capture the drops within the eyes but failed. The last hope died without even taking a breath of new emotions. Her last chance to preserve the love of her life in her arms failed miserably, now every reason of her current pitiful condition is revolving around her, the small glimpse of her past life that made her present this much lonely and depressed are turning like pages of a book in front of her.

The delightful and pleasing smile of an eighteen-year-old boy asking her for direction, that first time in her life, she feels like her surrounding become so dull that she can only look to the person in front of her for elation. At that point she only looks at him with admiration but after series of actions and situations, the look in her eyes change from admiration to love. Like first time when he help her in decorating the school board, the long discussion on the essay topic with him, that make her understand him more clearly, the first hard laugh with him in the library that make both of them to receive the punishment to clean the library , the first bicycle ride with him to treat a injured puppy , the happy banter with him in the rainy day, the serous look in his eyes when he see her injured after falling from bicycle, the reaction he showed when he first time saw her in a saree and the traces of affection and love in his eyes when she proposed him. 

Her whole life from school to college to his home fill with love and care towards him, but she doesn't know, what happen within one year that all these past experience with him that she always wants to treasure, now feels like illusion of her heart. The past memories fells like a balloon that slowly slowly contrasting in size as the memories of sweet love vanishing like air, no matter how she tries to comfort herself in every possible way but in the end her every explanation end with a hearting statement, that the love she wanted to find within him is faded and long gone in the clouds of memories.
