The Lonely Evening

The Lonely Evening

I was just fed up with sticking myself to my room and hanging on some novels and mobile phone. They created a very dull atmosphere and I just felt hopeless as a kid who felt bad when parents forced to go school in the morning. I didn't want to be with my parents , I considered myself as an individual who has strength who stand by himself with a straight backbone. I just wanted to relax myself with one company only that's my shadow who always follow me from cradle to tomb. I just wanted to inhale the new breeze with fresh thoughts. I wanted to make the wind drags away my all problems as a drifting cloud. 

 The clock struck to 5.00 it was the clam evening with soft melodies of chirping birds. My mind was urging me for a sea walk. I just went out outside and I started to stroll the beach with my shadow. I sensed a feeling of nostalgia with the view of the beach. A cool breeze blew across me and I felt my eyes closed for a moment and my thoughts at the moment were lost I felt like I was floating as a cloud to the past. 


" Darling, what do you think ? Shall we marry in this year"


" No, babe.My parents are still in opposition. So how can we marry ?"


" It's okay. Darling...I will wait for you..even a decade."


" Shall we walk with the waves babe"


" Of course. Sure darling but let's be careful the tide is high. "As you like to walk , let's go" 


( walk with smiling faces hand in hand)


" Hold my hand tightly...Darling "


" Oh...my summer hat babe, it went with wind."


" Let me , take it for you."


" Jack....Jack....no...wait.....J....a....c...k..."


"D....a..r..l....i...ng....I'm d...r....o...w...i...n....g."


 A hard blow of wind blewed across me and suddenly I felt something near me was drifted away I tried to figure out what it was, I checked whether my wallet was taken by a thief but no it's there still. Where is my Jack....No....No..he has gone...Three years ago the waves drifted our pure love. My heart still pounds with his last words. 

  Bitter memories with loneliness still inside my mind. I just tried to figure out the place where we made sandcastles for the last time , it cannot be seen. Large heap of debris is filled in that area.The seashells we collected was thrown away to the sea again by me after the loss of Jack. The love letters were torn and threw away. I strolled down further with my busy thoughts there were many couples enjoying the beach with flying kites and playing beach alls. I couldn't wait to see them it makes my mind hurt and brings a tear to my eyes. So I moved away.


 I made big footsteps on the sand and I carefully examined at them. I thought whether to walk with those footsteps again or to make new footsteps. The sun was ready to bid farewell setting the horizon making the whole atmosphere in orange setting. 

 The horizon never touches the bare ground as my love never touches my heart again. The evening scenery made my memories float again but suddenly a cool breeze obstructed my thoughts and made me move home.

 I just walked off, in empty hands with empty heart as I lost the whole world and as I was neglected by everybody. I was just figured out as an incomplete person. The lovely evening. I just made my memories pulled into pieces of ash.
