Aakash: Where is responsibility coming over here?

Sreya: Forget it.. Goodbye..




After 3 months or so…

Another morning Aakash woke up with dreamy eyes. It has been over a week that insomnia has engulfed his nights. He just can’t get her off his mind. She just comes into his thoughts and he can’t help it. In fact, he likes it. He likes thinking about her.

Actually Aakash and Sreya started seeing each other around 7 months earlier. They had met each other at a wedding ceremony. As usual Aakash was busy scanning the beautiful bongs that thronged the place. In an ethereal moment, he saw Sreya. Immediately, he began harbouring a crush on her. So it all started with a crush! After a few days, they went for a date, though the girl was a bit reluctant at first. But nevertheless, she went. Actually she had also developed a liking for him. Their dates went up in numbers day by day. Sreya was deeply in love with him. But Aaksh was never really serious about her. He was a guy with a very fickle mind. He never really gave any serious thinking on any matter. So the day she expressed her feelings, Aakash was perplexed. He did not know whether he loved her or not. After all it was just another crush. Just another!!!! He was not at all ready to take up the responsibility of love!!!

Things are different now. He knows that he loves her. He misses her. He misses her dainty smile, her lovely eyes, her feathery hands and above all her charming and lovingness character. Sreya is the best girl he could have ever find, if not the perfect. But it is too late to realize that. He has hurt her so very much. He can’t forget those sobbing eyes on the day they broke off. Its was all due to Aakash.

Late may be, but he decides to give her a call and apologize. Maybe she wont forgive, but at least he would know that. It was his first call in three months. He dials her number. The phone rings…

Sreya: (somewhat perplexed tone) Hello!

Aaksh: Hi Sreya!

Sreya: A pleasant surprise Aakash! Never in my nightmares I thought that u would call me!!

Aakash: Even I had never thought so. How are u?

Sreya: Just getting used to a life without you!!

Aakash: (speechless)

Sreya: So why did u call?

Aakash: I wanted to apologize.

Sreya: You what!!!!!! Are u kidding?

Aakash: No Sreya. I am serious. I am sorry that I hurt u so much! I was not ready to take up the responsibility of love.

Sreya: I know that Aakash...

Aakash: I…I think that I love you.. Can we patch up Sreya? I miss you a lot.

Sreya: I always knew you loved me. It was you who didn't. You still haven’t changed, Aakash. Now u miss me, you want to patch up. But where were you when I needed you? You didn’t even bothered to find out how I was doing!!

Aakash: I.. I thought you would be better without me.

Sreya: Who asked you to think so much!!! Frankly Aakash, its too late now for a patch up.

Aakash: Cant you reconsider your decision? Give me a call if you change ur decision.

Sreya: Sure I shall. But don’t expect it. I have moved on.

Aaksh: Moved on?? Still, I shall wait. Bye. Take care.

Sreya: Bye Aakash. You take care 2. And be happy with your life.


That night, Aakash received the most anticipated and beautiful call of his entire life!! It was from Sreya.
