THE LAST MEET

THE LAST MEET -1

The dimly lit corridors of the music hall echoed with the distant applause as Sora, a mysterious singer who never allowed anyone to get too close, made his way to the restrooms. The mask, he used to wear hide his face every time he never allowed to touch anyone and even he painting distance even if he talk

The air was thick with the remnants of melodies that had captivated audiences but never revealed the person behind the voice. Sota's steps were deliberate, each one echoing the solitude he carried within after his performance he was going to restroom as always but toward when he was going a girl bumped into him and he first said said sorry but then he realised something and get shocked

Sora Pov-
As i collide the first thing that came in my mind was my past then I got shocked and with that I said "how did you touch me " till now I haven't seen the girl face or something

And as that girl bumped on me , my mask slipped from his face. I stood frozen as my eyes meeting with that girl eye I directly recognise she is not someone but other than my childhood love whom I used to love madly and still i love her but was I never met her after school and as I saw her first thing I said in shock was "chipakli "

(Lizard)

shit why did I said her lizard fuck she would be angry and i immediately said " I am really sorry I didn't mean that

As the mask fell, I saw with shock to see that it was that school guy I used to fight for no reason we shared a bond in which we used to laugh we used to make everyone laugh eventhough we never talk properly in school but still we had a really good bond and while I was thinking all this he said me chipkali which he used to call me during school day

As I was about to say him something after he said sorry but he ran off from there maybe he still hates me maybe he also don't like me atleast as a friend

Days turned into a relentless pursuit, Akira making genuine efforts to tear down the barriers Sora had erected. Despite his attempts to maintain distance, she still tried to talk to him
Well why is he maintaining distance is the main question❓

One day, after many days when she finally able to talk to him while practice session she said " hey sora why don't you go out with me we will go and have fun at last we were classmates or you can say enemies "

He ignored

"Why are you ignoring me do you also hate me but why ??" She said in little irritated tone

"Wait wait calm down I am not angry with you or I hate you but I also don't see a reason to talk you " he said with a cold tone

"Just tell me are you gonna come with me on Sunday " I said in irritating tone

"Fine fine i will " he said

On Sunday
Akira Pov

I was standing near our school while I saw sota coming towards me and with this we went to many places and also talk about our old school days how we used to fight on small small things with each other

In evening when we reached near Lake a lake where we both used to do many matches to see who is more better while we both were sitting I just said " school days were best after that life have only become worse and worse "

Then he said " no it depend upon how do you see the situation"

"You have zero knowledge what happened to me after school " I smiled and said i know that smile had pain but still I smiled

"So tell me I mean i guess you are atleast this much comfortable with me to tell what happened" he asked with curiosity

Then i started saying and said " after school I got to college and things started being worse and worse I used to go clubs etc and I used to drink so much due to which I also become alcohol addict and during that time my father passed which cause me more immense pain and I just got down and down I almost lost everything and now I want to die " I laughed at the end eventhough it was a serious thing

He sees towards me and said " you surely have suffered a lot I guess I can't comment on that but if you are saying you want to die cause this all happened to you so then you are dumb life is taking the pain you get taking the happiness you get that is life "

"Nothing happened good in my life " I said

" Then you are wrong cause I don't think so anything is wrong happened you are just seeing it in wrong way we always have happiness and sadness in 50-50 after that it's upon us that we have to enhance our pain or happiness and in your case you are enhancing pain " he said and he was smiling too

"You are just talking shit things like this never happened to you that's why you are saying this " I said in irritated manner

"Well you are I guess you are taking me wrong I have no problem with that but just think nothing happened good with you you just have to replace that thing with sadness" he said and smirk

Now I was finally able to understand somethings he was trying to telling and after that

He said " living means taking that pain happiness and everything you got and the day you stop having even one of thing you will be dead like take a example of me I died 3 years ago but still now I am living with all the happiness sadness all I get "

What did he just said I got shocked and I said in little high voice "WHAT"
