........

The digital clock besides her pull over bed shows 11:11 PM, and unaware of that she made a wish. A wish to meet him soon. Few minutes later it's 12 am and a hope arises in her heart, fifteen minutes leads to twenty minutes and after sometime sun is near the horizon, but her phone didn't rang, he didn't even call to wish her.

How could he even forget this? Is he still angry on her for something she never did? Is this what love was suppose to be? No wishes even on birthdays. A tear falls from her eyes. Away from her mother to this new place, she dreamt of building a family of her own and here there's not even a birthday wish from her love.

Getting enough of waiting, she finally dialled the number, the caller tune is very well known to her, he specifically set it for her calls. The voice from the other side sounded way too offended but she bothers less, she was dying from last three weeks to hear that voice,

"Do you even have anything to say? If not then don't waste my time."

"Hey, when are you coming today?"

"Why would I come today?"

"It's.. you know it's fourteenth of February. So I thought."

"Okay so firstly a bitch like you thought something. That's quite surprising on it's own.

And secondly about today, it's nothing special. So better stay inside in the place and if you go out and if I get to know about it, forget even talking to me for next months too."

"But that's not right, it's my birthday"

"So what? Your father didn't even celebrated your birthday and you expected me to celebrate it. Please Amaya you know me better than that."

"Why are you calling me Amaya? You never calls me that. I'm your ..."

"I really wonder that how good my life would have been if you were not in it. But I guess we have to pay for our own deeds.

So do me a favour don't remind me who you are to me, don't remind me that I married you ever. And now just get the hell out of my life."

"Trust me one day I will, and even if you tried your best then also I won't be back." The called end.

And after few months events like that happened for real. She meet him soon, perhaps it just didn't ended the way she excepted.

Amaya Kareem did ran away from there and never turned around. She died that day and left her that life in the past. She mourned, cried and the grief of losing her life killed her everyday but after months she recovered and started living again, for herself this time. And he did tried his best to make her stay with him, but she didn't.

He was always her 11.11 wish perhaps she was too, but with time she became only a 2am call for him. And with time, Amaya stopped making wishes, because sometimes wishes only remains as 'maybe' and 'what if's'. So she made sure to work hard to live a life for her own, a happy life which she deserves.
