The night before……


There she sits on her bed, fearing and hoping that tomorrow never comes. She knew it was genuinely wrong to think of someone else when the next day she was to be bonded for a lifetime to another man.

Had she been given the chance to write her life all over again, she’d have happily grabbed it. With a broken heart she remains, not knowing what to do, her eyes tired of holding back her tears. They say, years later you don’t remember any but it seems so impossible now – whatever happened to the dreams she had.

Throughout her life she’ll stay – holding her broken heart close to her. If only he understood her, if only he realised that she’s a princess within, her life would have been much different and may be better.

Today for the last time she held her lost love close and cried one last time for all the times she was let down, all her lost hopes – one final time coz tomorrow she’s gonna be a different self and somehow she wants to shed her former self and start all over again. As tonight ends she is letting her memory slip from her hands like sands and letting the past bury itself. May be for the rest of her life she’ll compromise and sacrifice for the sake of happiness of a known stranger and bury all the pain in her heart but in nights like this she’ll cry hopelessly wishing for a hope – a miracle –may be – and will go on for the rest of her life.

But tonight her apprehensions got the better of her. There she sat alone and wandering away at the sudden turn of events in her life and realising how cruel life can be coz she deserved much better… much more beyond what she had ever had.
