Second Chance

Chapter-14

Priya's Pov

I am thinking. I am truly confused whether to go or not? I reached home and did my dinner. I am lying on my bed thinking about Sandhya's words.

Should I go? I asked myself again.

"You should go for Prem?"I thought to myself.

Prem was truly a good friend of mine, Of course, everyone in our band feels the same.

"Whom should I ask for a suggestion?"I thought about mom.

"What are you thinking about?"Mom came in and sat beside me.

"Sandhya came to the hospital today and invited me to the reunion."I said briefly.

"What?"She didn't get what I am talking about.

"Prem is doing a concert and she wants to give him a surprise"I added the missing details.

"That's really good"She smiled.

"Hu"I sighed.

"He was very much enthusiastic to establish his career in the music field, he did it.I am happy for him"She said in her motherly tone.

"Yes, "I nodded simply.

Mom left the room after some time and stood in front of the long mirror.

I saw a single tear escaping from my eye. I am crying. It's hard to control my feelings now. I am feeling breathless and want someone to hold my hand.

"I love him so much"I whispered.

"He rejected me"I reminded myself.

I am tangled in my own thoughts. It's hard for me to stop my tears whenever I think about that day.

We spent two long years as a team. We were friends, were part of a music band, we're partners in poetry class. He spent most of the time with me.We shared enchanting moments of our life.

We grew closer to each other after that concert. We used to share poems, We were inseparable. I don't know when and where I fell for him.
May be the moment

We walked on the roads and ate roadside food.

Or may be the moment

We bunked few classes and saw some famous movies.

Or may be the moment

We used to drench in the rain at the beach and eat ice creams.

Or may be the moment

In our music practice at the beach and the sound of the shore

Or may be at the time

We shared our views and opinions on different issues.

May be because of

Our long witty, humorous talks on Watsapp.

Everything and every moment we shared mislead me and I finally fell in love with him. I am unaware of the moment when and where. I fell for him. I started dreaming everyday and every second about him.

I used to think about him all the time. He was my only thought all the time and all the days. I was in love truly and deeply. I used live life with hope. I used to do things for him.

I wore dresses which are all white, his favourite colour.

I wrote poetry on topics which he loves most.

I learnt to cook dishes which he is fond of.

I learnt few basics of guitar.

I did everything for him.

I lived for him.

It was my birthday. He came and surprised me with an unexpected gift. That was the most memorable day of my life.

I looked at the clock dangling to the wall with drowsy eyes.

Mom, I blinked at mom and hugged her.

"Happy birthday!"She kissed my cheek.

"Thank you mom"I almost fell asleep in her hands again.

"Get up!"she showed the fake anger.

"It's my birthday!"I kept my famous puppy face.

"I know, I know, "she smiled.

"First get ready. You have your gift waiting for you downstairs "She ruffled my hair.

"Wow, "I screamed.

"I love you"She gave a peck on my cheek.

"Me too, "I hugged her.

I finished all my chores quickly. I am eager to know about the gift. I smelt something fishy, I know Arjun is planning something along with the band members.

"Happy birthday and have a nice day"Mom wished me again soon I  got down.

"You are looking like an angel in this white dress"She complimented me.

"Really?!"I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"Promise!"Mom said, holding her throat.

"You are the one who selected it"I pinched her cheek.

"But white really suits you well"She said, touching the fabric.

"That's really good, then"I smiled and thought about Arjun.

"Finish it quickly, We all have a surprise for you!"She said serving the Breakfast.

"All?!"I kept a puzzled face.

"It's a surprise, I can't reveal it"She said with in a serious tone.

"Okay!"I nodded and frowned.

"Be quick!"She left me in the hall.

"What's going on?!"I am thinking hard to guess.

I finished my favourite breakfast and turned to see my friends.

I am shocked to see them at home and its truly a pleasant surprise.

"Many more happy returns of the day!"Sowmya gave me a big hug.

"Thank you"It's really hard for me control my grin.

"Happy birthday dear!"Arjun wished me this time.

Pradeep too came with them and wished me along with them.

I didn't see any member of our Music band and bit disappointed.

"Let us move!"Sowmya freaked like a kid.

"Where, Why?!"I am about to ask her, but she dragged me out before I could finish my word.

"Just come with us, please don't ask any questions. We got permission from aunt"She said at one gasp.

"Okay!"I simply nodded without any asking them any questions more.

"You look pretty"Sowmya whispered.

Arjun brought his bike. Pradeep occupied the back seat.

Where Sowmya is driving her bike and I am with her.

We reached the beach with in few minutes and I saw something I never saw in my life.

I freaked out with joy like a child and started crying....
