Her flight was not for another three hours. She did not know what she was doing or why she was doing it, she knew deep inside that she did not want it to happen. She walked slowly but suddenly tripped. Out of nowhere, someone held her by her hips. It was him, he helped her up and they were face to face. Looking at each other’s eyes they came closer and then she suddenly snapped back to reality. She was standing in the same spot and knew it would never happen after all that she had done. Without waiting to wipe her tears she looked back once, it was misty, she started to walk again.
He reached home and just sat on his bed remembering their times together. All the laughter, cries pain and the joy. He dint want to let her go but he remembered something she said, “even if you don’t want to let me go Jackie, I have to go. We both are holding on to something. That something is us and if one of us leaves, that means the other is holding on to nothing.” He wanted her back and he knew he wanted to do something to get her back, anything for that matter. The problem was he dint know what he had to do.
It seemed like just now that they both got into a relationship. Two years had passed since then. He started thinking about the things that happened back then. It was like a flash back. Two years before they both hardly knew each other. It was one small incident that made them meet. His memories went back to that very moment when they first met. It was Christmas party near his house. It was a colony party so people from the entire locality were there. He was there enjoying his drink with his friends. That was where he first saw her. He felt a wind in his hair all of a sudden and turned to look what’s happening. To his surprise he was so damn close to the pedestral fan, that his eye lashes made contact with the surface. He quickly snapped out of it and stepped back to his bed and sat down.
Then again he took a glass of water in his hand and taking a sip drowning back to the same memories. In that crowd he saw a group of people a girl and her parents walking towards him. She then went to one of my friends and spoke for some time. He then introduced her as Jennifer. As they were talking he saw a pleasant view by the end of the street, two puppies playing near the street lamp. With a smile he turned away and started speaking to his friends again. Then he started walking away from that place and was walking towards the street lamp. There he saw a girl having the puppies in her lap and patting them.
She saw a guy coming towards her and acted as though she dint notice him at all. She kept patting the puppies. She saw him standing next to her but did not turn to look at him. His friends came at that time and Jennifer patted her shoulder saying, “hi Janie, seems like the pup craze hasn’t left you yet ei??” Jennifer then introduced the rest of his friends to her and finally him. They both shook hands and the entire area was filling up with light, and a blaring sound filled the air. All of a sudden two beaming lights were in front of her and she jumped out of the way of the truck and realized that dreaming on road was never a part of her plan.
She was confused and really needed him but she tried her best to not to let her memories dominate her mind. She then reached the airport and checked in and saw the time. She still had to spend four full hours fighting her mind. Sitting on a seat nearby, she opened her Mac-book (a laptop). His voice echoed in her mind,”you racist, you even want your laptop to be white ha-ha, come on don’t….” his voice then faded away. She then Shook her head slowly with tears in her eye and continued to stare at her Mac. After a while she decided to delete all his pictures, mails and every other thing related to him.
As she started to delete them she saw something that clouded her completely....
