Everything was okay. It's fine, that's what I've been telling myself for the past ten years of my life.
Its fine, its okay to have thrift jeans rather than designers
its okay to have old keypad rather than that stupid soul sucking smartphones.
It's okay to have these good old wires rather than those ear piercing, iPods.
Why in the world did I even start this?
The stench of weed was lingering in my senses, and I strolled out, moving past the rich furs, denims, and stuff. My mind was boggled between pain and fury. The five-minute walk to the remote corner of the Uni was a hard task.
It's freshers and I couldn't even get myself past his words, let alone him.
He did break my heart.
Rhys did break my heart, and that's when I started it.
Heavens cracked open, rain started to pour down, it started like that love song playing in my mobile. the good old wires still plugged to it.
I found it fascinating how a love song heals and soothes the heart of a love loser like me.
the shimmer of the rain flew effortlessly making everything damp, few cursed under their breath just because they forgot their raincoat while few enjoyed and many were few like me.
Rain felt like therapy and at the same time reminded him. I let the thrift fabric on me soak. I closed my eyes shut. i shoved my mobile into my pocket still music playing far my ears.
with the dampened sleeves, i cleared my vision and took the surroundings into me, when the signal turned red. i moved camouflaging myself into one if busiest streets in Never Avenue.
I moved with agony filling up my heart reminiscing over the favourite part of us in that good old song, moving in my head and the thought that we used to laugh through eachother whenever it played around us.
Everything disappeared into background but not my grief.
A sharp note across my ears reverberated, breaking the soft soothing musical chords.
My mouth left a deep sigh, my instinct was way too quick because it must be obviously my education loan
notice, which did cost me a heartbreak.
i didn't care to look at it and let those smiles and false promises haunt me again.
But the notification went again, just when i moved past one signal crossing, my hands moved to my pocket to fish the thing out.
i took a quick glance over the next crossing disappearing into the crowd, the low shower of rain still putting me through something i couldn't care to talk about.
New message it read.
my fingers were fast enough to click.
" Unplug those wires and walk straight. Don't act childish Val. "
My breath hictched. Frozen.
My feet didn't move, even though others moved further to cross.
Car honks, Busy rumble, playful calls, Footsteps echoed and blended well into abyss.
My eyes moved here and there, my heart seized in panic.The corners, the benches, the vehicles...
my eyes moved quick in desperation to know who is now playing with me and who is still back at me to cut the left over string of my heart.
" Deep breaths, val. Move forward.Careful. "
My phone vibrated in my hand
