'If you love me, meet me at the café where we first met; if either of us don't show up, its over, no questions asked!'
'Okay,' he clearly remembered where it all started, at monsoon's first entry, when their eyes had first met.
'We will either celebrate our anniversary together, or, our separation forever.'
'Done,' he agreed, as on the D-day, he waited at the side of the road; while the rain splattered everywhere... there was no sign of her.
He left disheartened, no questions asked!
After many years he learnt she had met with an accident that day.
That must be terrible. To live with that bitter sadness and then find out it was even worse than that. Good concept.
ReplyDeleteAnd suddenly the past became so different
ReplyDeleteI like how you ended this with the accident. Both wanted to get back together.
ReplyDeleteso sad :(
ReplyDeleteA sad and well told six.
ReplyDeleteTragic…I really wanted him to find her by accident later in life!
ReplyDeleteThere is actually an old movie to this effect, An Affair to Remember- excellent movie!
ReplyDeleteAw, what a sad story. I thought they were going to remember different cafes, but this is even more heartbreaking. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI was also thinking of the old movie. Did she survive, I wonder? At least he can put any resentment aside now.
ReplyDeleteThat was me above.
ReplyDeleteTalk about star-crossed! Devastating every which-way :(
ReplyDeleteDear Nandini,
ReplyDeleteHow sad for both of them.
Shalom,
Rochelle
At least he learned why she didn't show up albeit many years later. How tragic.
ReplyDeletethanks so much everyone ;-)
