Steven loved a girl, but the girl did not. Steven knew this. Steven wanted to stop generating this enormous feelings for her. So, Steven decided to go away from her life, never to return back. But on her birthday, he could not resist wishing her, so he came back to wish her. He wished. But the girl responded silence.
He was already broken, and now he was pulverised into dust. He wept into a pillow till his eyes got swollen to the extent that no more tears could pass through the bulged skin around the eyes. He coughed, he gagged several times. After a while he looked into a mirror but to his surprise there was no reflection of his image appeared on the mirror.
He had turned into nothing..
All distressed and destroyed, he went out in open, and he looked up towards the sky and searched as if someone is up there, who was witnessing his plight. He gazed up for a while and then he covered his swollen eyes with his palms. And sat on his folded knees, he leaned forward to rest his face onto his knees now his palms were between his face and the knee. And he was sitting in the middle of his terrace.
There was a complete silence in his pausture, there was no apparent movement in his body for quite some time. He was trying to hold his breath, probably trying to suffocate himself to death. But little did he know, reflexes of his body kicked in and he had to exhale violently. It was so violent as if a volcano had erupted and with it came out the lava of anxiety, hatred, anger and embarrassment. At this very moment, for just few seconds, he had this moment of clarity.
His feelings were powerful and so were his emotions. He was having this intense emotions for the first time and he could not handle them well. And this had made him feel that miserable.
He brought a little change in his perpective now, what actually happened was, he faced a rejection. The girl did not have those emotions and feelings. So, she did not respond the way he wanted. Though, It would have been surreal if she had. He sighed with a chuckle.
He had reasoned and had resolved.
He looked up again, and thanked someone up there and prayed for wellness and happiness for her.
With this new insight a joy that had blossomed in his heart, warmed up his whole body. He started feeling much lighter from that moment. He rushed into his room and stood before the mirror. In mirror appeared a bigger and a better man than what he had seen last, before he decided to come back and wish this girl birthday.
Steven decided to let her live in her own happy world and let this story to rest on a warm and cozy full stop.
