PRISONER OF PAST


PRISONER OF PAST



He knew well that not every dream is meant to be realized, not every secret to be shared and not every truth to be told. He passed through the thoroughfare, a mild wind blew and dry tree leaves fallen down on the way. He sighed. The autumn has set in and has suffused its effect gradually. A little far away he saw passing a couple. The payment was partially clear as the night lamps were trying hard to make it illuminated till their reach. As they passed through the light post, their figure could become clearer. He castes a quick glance over the girl. And her posture resembled with his forgone love, he thought once. The couple was leading mere a few yards. He could only hear the giggles and sexy jokes until he reached just behind them. A girl, who shares and laugh on a guy's sexist joke is either having a broad mentality, very close to that guy or they have an intimacy. Although, he sidelined the other possibilities except the opinion that they might have a intimate relation. At least that is what can possibly have between a girl and a boy. And undoubtedly the only possible thing that both expect at some point of time. And if not at least that is what his personal experience proves, he thought for a moment. Memories flashed in his mind. Had it been better if he would have accepted Sonali's proposal of sharing the same room to save some money. He also remembers as how she tried to seduce him one night and he rebuked her badly.
Had he listened to his friend's advice he would not have missed such great opportunity that almost every guy dream of. At least he would have the consolation that he lived the moment and hooked up whom he loved. Unfortunately, for everything he has made a chronological order to be followed. The first order is to love a girl, get a job, be settled, marry her and then have the pleasantries of life. But, in life not everything goes in the same order rather life has altogether a different set of orders, and perhaps sonali has altogether a different set of orders.
This time he was walking ahead of the passing couple, he wished to have a look to the girl. His conscious discarded such a vague and inappropriate idea. However, he could not drift it longer and stopped by near a bus stop waiting the girl to come. So that he can see her face.
