“You are my princess, will always be one. You are someone I can die for. You are someone I live for. You are that passion which keeps me alive, keeps me breathing.” He used to always say. Of course like most of you, these cheesy lines made her laugh, always.
He was 19, sweet, stupid, a peace loving creature, innocent, nerdy, geeky, super loving, super duper disciplined and not to forget— his meagre smile; as if he’d be taxed a 1000$ for one wide grin. The lanky guy defined perfection. Every girl’s man or something like that. She was 20, not so sweet, smart, crazy, and super violent and ever smiling; she was someone who had never probably heard of the word discipline or even felt it remotely in her 20 years of life. Forget being a man’s dream, she used to be someone whom men dreaded.
And typically like every other bollywood story, the guy and girl happen to meet.
Venue: College
Date: 20th Sep 2011
The story begins here and is manoeuvred further with the guy loving this girl immensely, profoundly and to bits.
His day starts with her, ends with her and everything in between is her, her and her.
From getting himself tattooed with her name, to travelling down for hours every day to pick her up and drop her, from waking her up in the morning to putting her to sleep, from helping her with assignments to college hustle, from caring intricately to begging her a million times to get married, he did everything that the girl only imagined was possible in fairy tales.
And of course, she took time, two years or more and they started dating.
She loved him. He loved her. All was fine. He fulfilled all her wishes and made her feel like a princess, all the time. She gave him all the love she was waiting to give her Mr. Right. But as they stay, life is unpredictable, life really is!
Fast forward a few months. He started taking her for granted, abused her and felt like she was no more worth her while, goodness alone knows why. He even slapped her hard one day after a massive fight.
She sobbed and sobbed and cried relentlessly all night, amazed or traumatized rather as to what on earth was happening to him. Why was he doing this to her?
But she was in love. She tried to make it work. She did everything possible that could possibly bring him back, in vain.
Venue: Her place
Date: 3rd June 2014 (Last day of college, after examination)
She be like, “Life is going to change now on. We have grown up. Let’s talk to parents about us now. My parents like you anyways. We are going to work together soon too. Life is so perfect. I love you.”
“What are you talking about? What working with you? Professional and personal life needs to be different, and about talking to parents, I’ve to make a career. I’m not ready yet.”
She thought the princess he always used to talk about had died somewhere but stayed quiet and went to sleep.
The next day— No response, the guy never called, didn’t pick her calls either. She felt she had nothing to live.
More than her heart aching to death, she was puzzled.
Was it all about the chase for him? Was he bored? Was she wrong somewhere? If he had to end it, why did he come to her in the first place, and chase her for so long? Why did he care? Why did he love her to bits?
Slowly, she started dying. She’s still dying.
I don’t know why he did that. I don’t know what she is up to with her life. I don’t know if he cares anymore. I only know there’s one thing that can bring her back to life, prevent her bleak demise. And that’s him.
