Memories

Lying on the swing on the patio lena was getting restless about what her life was for and where had she landed. A house wife Lena, had moved to San Francisco with her husband Yatin. Married for 8 years now but still childless lena was bought up in a lavish way in Pune. She was lawyer by profession, and had moved here with Yatin as he was assigned a project.

Lena got up, made herself a cup of coffee and returned back to where she had come from, in life or place!

”leenaaaa!!!”She heard. She knew who he was. It was her sweetheart Salil. Four years of college, they were deeply in love ever since they first saw each other. With Salil world was so jubilant everything was immersed in love. He came closed hugged her and kissed her on her cheek. Lena blushed. It was a special day ,they had graduated. “So finally i have done it. A few more days for our dreams to come true. Ill earn for you the way i lived for you all these day.”

Lena was out of words but her eyes told Salil everything. That’s what true love is about right understanding silence and they did.

“i know life is not a fairy tale and you necessarily not always get what u desire for. Tomorrow i know things will not go as planned. But the memories the happiness we had will always be engraved on my soul. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and i know nothing, nothing, nothing can replace the position you have in my heart.”

They went to the car, he dropped her home told her in his usual way “i love u baby .. Truly madly deeply ...”

Duuummmhhhh!!!! Lena hears a loud bang and comes back in time.

Sips the coffee and thinks ‘a memory is what i have of u and nothing can erase it. Memories i have and memories ill keep. Knowing the fact that i can never see you again and you will never want me to come the way you went. I know u are watching me every single moment and the feeling that u are watching me comes to me all the time, and that’s the memory that is keeping me alive !! ’
