He didn’t make any eye contact when he handed me the prescription.
Why is he acting so weird? God!! There
was a time when he would never stop looking at me. Now he doesn’t want to see
me. It was he who left me. I shouldn’t have come here. It was big mistake to
come here. I should have left the place after seeing his name. I get up hurriedly
and grab my son’s hand. As I am about to leave, I hear his faint voice, “I am
sorry.”
Sorry!! I wanted to
scream loud and tell him that how could he feels sorry after giving pain for
all those years. He continued, “ I
shouldn’t have left you. I regret that. You were in great trouble and I should
have been there to support you. I feel so guilty after calling our relationship
burden and tag you as unfit. I feel bad … I mean you lost your husband and you
are alone taking care of your son and yourself. It must be hard for you. I
wanted to tell you that if you need any help, I will be there for you. ”
I felt mocked by each and every word he spoke. “Thank you!!
Thank you for all the pain. If you hadn’t broken my heart, I wouldn’t be what I
am today. I am successful freelance writer and have enough to take care of my
family’s well being. You are wrong to say that I am all alone. I have my family
and my son. I didn’t lose my husband. He’s there with me and always will be.
One more thing … if you hadn’t left me, I wouldn’t have met wonderful man and
raise his kid. So you don’t have to feel guilty. Be happy!!!” I said with satire.
I saw the glimpse of regret on his face. It looked as if he
had lost the very important battle. I step outside with victory smile on my
face. The pain had gone and the wound had healed at last. I never once felt so
relieved and happy. I was burden less now. My past had disappeared somewhere
far.
…..The
end…..
