The last Call

SHE: Hi baby, are you okay?

HE: Who do you want to talk to?

SHE: Baby, what happened? Are you all-alright?

HE: Who do you want to talk to?

HE: The man you loved died long ago. 

SHE: Baby, what happened? Why are you talking like this?

HE: Ma'am, the man you loved is no more. I warned him not to fall in love with you. Even all your college friends had warned him. Yet he trusted you.

SHE: Baby, please don't talk to me like that. I'm sorry.

HE: Listen to me clearly. That man is dead. Please stop wasting your time. I'm too in the grief. He was going through a tough phase and you knew about it. He was about to lose his job and was facing the worst crises of his career. His plans hadn't worked out. However, he never stopped loving you.

SHE: Baby, I tried, but it wasn't happening…

HE: Let me tell you something he would have wanted you to know. He never gave the GMAT exam only for you. He knew that if he scored well in it, his parents would have sent him to the US to pursue his studies. So he didn't appear for the examination. He is one of those who was ready to risk his career only to carry this relationship. He didn't lack anything here. All he wanted to do is go the distance and make a name for himself but make sure to take you along with him...

HE: He did his best to take care of you. I know the distance hit you both. But he was also left behind and he sacrificed you so that you achieve your ambitions. Moreover, his office was excruciating as he was sent in the worse team in a graveyard shift. He was having a hard time managing the full-night shifts with the extensive workload there. You forgot the time when you sobbed and call him in the office. He stood like a rock with you covering up for your insecurities. All he needed was you to understand that it is only a matter of time and things will become better in 2018. After all, how long can God say 'NO' to him?

SHE: But baby, I too tried… I wanted to explore life and later realized the trap we had caught ourselves into. We had created so many expectations from each other. Those commitments were suffocating.

HE: Who had a crush on whom? Did he propose to you? I guess you know it all and you are only calling to make yourself feel better.

SHE: I too had a had time and have seen the worse.

HE: Hard time after being dumped. Please stop it. You choose your own path abandoning him. He supported you every time and never ever gave up. For the first time he fell and you walked all over him. He was right when he used to say caring only makes the person weak.

SHE: Don't be so definitive. We can give it another try. I know you won't say it directly. I just went out a couple of times for drinks with him. He was elder to me. We didn't do anything. Now he doesn't even talk to me. He treats me like a stranger in all our gatherings. Initially, he thought I was of his type but after a couple of meetings, he completely ignored me.

HE: Please. There are more than 7.7 billion people in the world don't pretend as if your life revolves around one. You are having a good time, the best of your life. This is what he also wanted. So it's a win-win. Enjoy.

HE: But Yeah, he had one last message for you, for his Nanni Jaan, the girl with whom he had planned a honeymoon in Park Hyatt, Maldives, a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, new year eve at Time's Square New York, an evening at Cape Horn and much more. He said, 'no matter what happens, keep smiling'. He was the biggest fan of your smile. He made a vow to protect you. He made that vow the first time you guys went out ... And it was the same the last time also...
