Tossing the coin of
my dreams, my intellect trundled only to realize that it will be wild to help myself in such a fashion. Looking upon the calendar, noticing the date and arming
myself with a spotless and tidy postcard,
I decided to inscribe.
Few years later
“Dear Samar,
Eloping with you was my naivety. Marrying you was my Love
for you. With you, life was nothing less than a sugar coated pill till you
betrayed. Earth shook beneath my feet. All the sugar had vanished from my life.
Life had festered. Until I decided to voice my feelings. I feel much
better now. I am able to breathe, to live again. It is believed that all the
good things happen after some struggle and fight. So thank you for allowing me
to struggle and fight my intellect now that you have gone.
Love .
Tears rolled down his cheeks as he continued to feel the
pain reading it for the umpteenth time. Leaving it aside for the first time, he
laid his hands on the book titled ‘Responsibility
Towards.’
He went straight to the acknowledgement page to find it and
there it was etched in bold letters.
His already moist eyes gave away upon reading it as he struggled
for his last breath.
This post is in response to a contest hosted at WriteTribe.
A neat premise and structure. This story shows a lot of promise.

DeleteI could never find it in myself to forgive someone who betrayed me, but over time we all change. Life changes us all.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the contest.
So agree with you Bhavya.... It's extremely hard to forgive the one who betrays but time has powers to heal and change things.. but to what extent no one can tell

Betrayal is a hard one to forgive, but eventually forgiveness is the only way to move on. Very nicely penned.
