The long and winding road



They were the kind of friends pinterest writes about!
Wild, Weird, Crazy, Funny, Impetuous,Rebellious and sometimes just plain argumentative.

They spent every waking moment living in the moment!
Laughter abounded!
They smiled with their eyes!

Then just like all other good things, this too had to come to an end!
Abrupt!!!!
Clean Cut!

There were tears, there were sleepless nights, pleadings.
The staunch silence hurt.

And just like all other bad things, this too did pass!

Though time healed the wounds, the scars were too deep to disappear!

Since that fateful day, words were not spoken,
The eyes had ne’er met….
Strangers to themselves and rest of the world!

The auto man was her doom!  
She steps out hoping today would be her lucky day!
No, he refuses her the change due to her!
She looks around, searching for someone to beg for change!

Looks like it is too early in the day for good Samaritans to  be walking on the road or opening cigarette stalls!
The security folks consider the change too small  for them to handle!!!!
16 Rs is not small to her!
The auto man too gets frustrated, its been 10 minutes too much , but refuses to budge to ask at the tea stall across the road,
Should she?

She takes a step across and sees a familiar green slowing down!
Familiar with the old ways, she knows what comes next!
Tea stall forgotten she tells the auto-wallah to keep the change and runs up the stairs to the safety of her room!

The eyes shall ne’er meet.....
