A New Beginning...!!!
She was randomly checking
few people’s account on Instagram...
Suddenly she remembered she hadn't checked 'his' profile in few weeks! Her fingers swiftly move over the cell keypad and
type his Instagram id…
She remembers the last time she had checked how many
followers were there and how many posts, ‘2 new!!’ she wonders and before she should
think anymore, those new posts were loaded – 1st was of him and his
bestie at former’s Engagement Ceremony, 2nd was of him and her !!
Her
fingers tremble to open the post. She checks the ‘Hash tags’ used and whoa!!
They were like, ‘#cute #couple #love #bf…….” she goes blank.
She remembers him
telling her that the girl he posts pictures with is just his ‘Bestie’ and
nothing more, she smiles, copies the URL of that post and hits a ‘like’ on the
pic and closes the app.
She messages her bestie,
Shashank and gives him the copied URL and asks him to check and waits for his
reply. Shashank being her bestie for 9 years now knows that what she is doing
is only going to damage her; He makes her understand and tries to calm her
down!! He was always there in all these years and he knows her too very well
now and he tells her to stop stalking him on any social network.
She promises him not too hereafter
and won’t get troubled if she does. She tells him that she was not sad or
heartbroken seeing the pic, she felt betrayed only for one reason and that was
because he lied to her, by saying that the girl is just a friend.
Shashank, by now had had enough and so, he just says one thing, “Babe, remember, you are
my girl and I don’t want you to be sad and that too for such an asshole person,
for me you being happy is important! Smile now and for god damn sake stop
stalking him!! The right person for you will come along!! Remember what’s written
in 50 Shades book? ‘You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you get your
Prince’? It’s the same thing!! Now cheer up. Chal, let’s have a smoke!!”
She
instantly smiles seeing this cute message and the last word makes her come back
and shout on him for smoking >.< he loved her when she did that, not that he
ever listened to her and never did he stopped smoking!!
It was in the late afternoon, post her lunch, she did what she thought she should have done many months
back!! She opened her bed where she had kept all her soft toys, old books, some
clothes and “his gifts”.
She picks up the big bag,
where she had neatly kept all his gifts inside. She had hidden them all in her bed so
that she no more sees them all daily and breaks down again!! She takes up 2 bags
from inside, closes the bed and throws all the contents over it.
For one last
time, she sees all the gifts – greeting cards, wrappers of chocolates, the cake
box, the bills, the movie tickets, parking tickets, some letters, hair bands,
bracelets, rings….
She picks up the greetings sees his name inside and puts
them all back in a bag, the tickets, the wrappers one-by-one she puts them
inside the bag – a trash bag !!
She finds the shoes his mom had gifted; she
puts them too inside the trash. Except the expensive stuffs and some toys from
Mac Donald’s happy meal, she puts all in the bag and then picks up the bag and
out it goes!! From her house, from her heart!!
Suddenly she felt light; she
was astonished as not a single tear was in her eyes nor she was pained in her
heart!! She felt indifferently happy!! For she finally threw away the stuff she
had kept with her even it was more than a year they had parted their ways!!
She keeps the watches,
rings, pendants and hair bands inside the cupboard! A thought pops up in her
mind – to sell this all stuff on 'www.olx.com', but she instantly pushes it off her
head and picks up the cell phone and texts Shashank, telling him that she
finally threw up all the stuff outside and is feeling better at this instant.
He was too blissful to see this message and opens the image she sent; the image
was a collage of all the belongings she tossed in the garbage can!!
She then messaged Roxette,
telling her the same!! Roxette too, was very delighted with this and tells her
to move on for real!!
She smiled as she realized
she was fortunate to have people like Shashank and Roxette in her life, who
genuinely loved her and cared for her.
She felt a huge burden was
taken off from her shoulder; ‘A New Beginning’ – she said
to herself, and smiled again J
