Jack was looking at cloak. Each tick sound was like a bolt sound for him. He was staring his door as well. Although , he knew it is of no mean but a hope was still igniting his heart that the door will open within a second and Rose will enter the room. These were the last minutes of December 4 which was the most special time for Jack. It was the time when she first met Rose and for 3 years they both cherished this day. But now , this year, he was all alone. Rose have departed away from him months ago. But his heart was not accepting this .
The cake was lying before him on the table. It was fresh when he bought this in the morning but gloom was apparent both on his face and cake now. He wanted to cut the cake with Rose and that’s why he waited whole day for her whose chances of returning were not even negligible but impossible.
“Rose, look , your gift is ready. I have arranged what we both planned for this day. Come fast and grab your gift in your hand” he murmured to himself with a sad countenance on his face.
There was no one to talk to him. He was all alone with his false hopes, ocean of thoughts,mountains of memories and volcanic sentiments which were erupting out as cold tears and smiling lips.
Despite the passage of months, Jack was still surrounded by her thoughts. He always used to sit on roof of his home,stare the moon and talk to it just like he used to talk to his beautiful moon all the time. Sometimes, he couldn’t control his emotions and his cheeks used to get wet by rolling tears but he enjoyed this pain always.
He was remembering those past days when they both used to cherish this day from first minute to last minute. Every year they always did something special and creative to make this day extra special. Both of them never wanted to lose the zeal and vibrance of this day. For this, they planned something different as well but this december was meant to be alone for both of them.
When the last minute of 11th hour ticked the sound of 12 o clock, he blubbered like a kid. His last hope was lost. The wish ,the person and the company he was waiting for whole , was not in his destiny this year and most probably will not be onward. He was feeling suffocated. He opened his window to inhale air.
Looking towards moon,he said, when the midnights of the winter used to frost me with apathy towards, when facing the cold chilly air I used to miss you and when I used to face so demotivated and hollow, I never gave up on you. I used to enlighten my dark heart with vibrant lights of memories of you and resuscitate me with a hope that you will come and will surprise me on this day but you didn’t.
He smirked.
“But I will cut the cake, this anniversary will always be celebrated. An anniversary without marriage. A promise without hopes”
And Jack cut the cake celebrating a one-sided anniversary of a two-sided love . And a note was lying on her table with a cut cake after he left to whiff some ciggerettes.
Some relationships are not so beautiful and long lasting.
They teach you lessons.
They tell you how much you can love.
They tell you how much you can be loved.
They will give so many happy moments.
They will provide you with many life goosebumbs.
They will fill your life with laughters and love but
When the time come
When the ask you to go
Let them go
Because some relationships could be beautiful but not longlasting.
