"Falling in love....It happens all of a sudden. Just like a car crash."
You didn't know, but I had prayed to meet you day and night; in happiness and in sadness; in crowd and in secrecy. I had begged and cried to know you, to love you and see you. I yearned for you with every cell and every breath in me. I wished to find you and finally be able to tell you, all that I had ever thought of, in your absence. That I had waited my whole life to meet you.
'And...and..now, that I finally see you standing here, in front of me; I can't help but think that I've made a big mistake. I must have been wrong. Because...because you can't be real.'
I wish, I could unknow you. Somehow, just, in anyway, rewrite meeting you. Yet..yet..even if I could take away every part of me that knew you, I still wouldn't be able to erase the memory of you etched on my soul.
I sat unflinching in my place, staring at my reflection in the mirror. Only for today, everyone; meaning Mum and Annie, had gone out of their way to pick my dress. They took special care that my overall look was perfect. Not to forget the 4 inches heels. Today, everything is supposed to be perfect. Nothing should be out of place. Dad had helped out Mom in the kitchen to prepare the dishes. Our maid Auntie had made sure that every nook and corner was clean, the driver Uncle had cleaned out the veranda and Annie was going to make sure that everything was served in perfect order and time. Obviously, my role was decided too. I had to dress up pretty, talk pretty, look pretty, laugh pretty, smile pretty etc etc and obviously serve without spilli

"You're a houseofficer?" A random surgery resident came upto my desk and inquired. I looked between him and Amna who was taking a break and simultaneously helping me out at internal."Yes, sir." I re
"You're leaving?" He asked with an unreadable expression. I still couldn't believe I had actually done this. In response, I think I made a grunting sound or maybe atleast nodded my head.
"And—and then you know what he said—Mano!! You're not even listening!!" I cried out shaking her by her shoulders."I AM!! You have repeated this story so many times already!" She returned throughly i
I watched him unblinking; whose face was barren of any emotions. I couldn't look away. Just like in the past, when my eyes would meet his and stay there. As if in a trance; as if time itself had come to a halt and everything around me would cease to exist and only he would remain. Just then, a car honked and he tore his gaze away. I stayed liked that for a few more moments before turning away slowly. Without saying anything, I returned my gaze to the window. Pretending that I hadn't heard anything, hoping that I had misheard him. Like when I would mistake someone else for him, because I could only see him everywhere in every face. Maybe this time too—my mind was p
