I am 24 years old and the story goes back to when I was 16. The first time I saw her, it was my Class X tuition.

We began friends and it clicked. Suddenly she became the only reason why I lived for. Maybe teenage love is so immature. In the process, I forgot to make other friends, talk to my existing friends, she was the only person on the earth, whom I would talk and share everything, she became my life.

Two years passed by, from cycle to our scooters, we were like made for each other. We realised we are more than friends and we declared it love. I became an introvert for the entire society and would only talk to her. I thought she will be with me till my deathbed and she alone became my whole world. We would have our share of fights but at the end of the day, we were the perfect couple.

After Class XII, I decided to give priority to my career and realised that she was the biggest obstruction. Yaa I termed her ‘obstruction’ and this was the biggest mistake of my life.

I left her and she tried to stop me but I was more worried for my career. I always thought to myself, one day I will return to her after becoming successful and we will be together again. But that day never came.

I talked to her after four years. We again became friends. But it was nothing like the old days. She had other interests apart from me. I tried to convince her but she could never forgive me for leaving her. I enjoyed being with her, spending time with her, it didn’t matter to me that we were only friends. But she could not trust me anymore.

Then came this day, before I could do anything she got engaged to someone else. Her priorities again changed and now she has no time for me. I always think, is it the time or she who has taken revenge. Now, I lead a lonely life and don’t want to talk to her. I never thought from her perspective in these entire 8 years. Maybe this is the reason, I am left to suffer. With no other friends and her, my life is just …. I am sorry!!
