Nidhi
Her face was lit by the sudden lightening...it was during times like these when she would love to be alone...it was never a conscious effort to be alone…but she liked having her space...it was essential to her being....Strangely her mind was always preoccupied with the best and worst of the memories during these moments.....

Solitude is a bliss.....it is as essential as the pause which adds meaning to a motley group of words....time, space...lacuna, gap........and a pause.......and how she wished at times to forget 'those' times...and at other times close her eyes tightly and recall the face.....and at some odd moments.....that face would come to her, clear and heart breaking......time had stood still on that face....It was that same face which she had last seen ....when he had come to see her off......and today, even if they sat facing each other it would be near impossible to recognize that face...to make that connection....

Time had moved on......life has changed.....and with each passing day, with each new experience she was changing.....'they' were evolving....that 'something' which was 'all' for them at sometime was getting sliced by the hands of time.......and during some rare occasions when they had exchanged words........it threatened to become 'all'....but then with the passing of the moment .....it would get lost....

Finally. It was time to bid goodbye.....goodbyes are always special......'may God be with you'. And yes, sometimes when the rain drops would moisten her face....the moments would flash....lightening fast.

  12. fursat Says:

    Is this fact or fiction? If its a factual account then its beautifully captured and if its fiction then its beautifully written.

    You have written it so well that I don't have words to express it. I don't know which lines to pick as the best ones because all of them are better then the next one. Loved it. Infact, I will link it as my "Pick of the week/month". I hope you don't mind.

    PS: Sorry for coming after a gap. I will read your other posts too but aaram se.
