Failure!

Betrayal from someone, ambitions from someone, likes of someone, love for someone …and she was never what she was years before.

She stood there on the platform wearing a white kurti and a chuddidaar with a red dupatta. She looked enervated and slender than ever. Her heart was beating faster and her eyes searched around for someone. Someone who would have remembered her, someone who could come and hug her. Someone who would tell her that he/she had still not forgotten her. The mind knew it was impractical, it was just a dream but the heart never understood.

She carried a suitcase and a bag, She was sure she had kept enough for a living, and even if it wasn’t, the gaps could be filled. She was talented, had done her M-Tech sometime back and was serving a top international bank .There was nothing which could make anyone believe that there could be a reason for her being unhappy. She was a benchmark for her colleagues. She earned handsome amount of money which she had saved more than spent in the last six years. She was an exemplary for all the people around.

There were people around her who liked her for her work, there were others who were envious of the position she stood at. But there was no one who could love her, love her for what she was.

Her parents wanted her to top the world; they wanted to decide things this time too. They were worried that the girl had turned 31, and if she goes to swimming she might get darker, and lower her prospect for the high class IIT graduate they had searched for.

They wanted to decide everything, right from the school she had to go, to the college she should have opted, to making sure she was the topper wherever she went. They wanted her to learn French and not opt for drawing, because they found it not worth any purpose.

He had said that she didn’t understand, she couldn’t think of anyone other than her own self, she was obsessed about him. She wanted to start her day with him and end with. But neither was it practical nor demanded .There was work and everyone had to make his ends meet themselves, so he was doing his and she was an interruption.

Friends said she had changed, she didn’t want to talk. She wanted to live alone. Everyone was making his own ways. Having found their better halves they didn’t need a girl “friend” anymore, the other half was enough for a company, enough for a friend. They had brought love in her life and one fine day they asked her to choose between them and him. And that was the day; she saw them for the last time.

Yes, she was a failure. She couldn’t win the world for them. She failed;

She failed each day when he didn’t want to hear from her. She failed when she couldn’t hold them together. She failed when she couldn’t fulfill their requests. She failed when she couldn’t stand up to their expectations...

She was a failure at relationships.

She didn’t speak today, she was leaving and she would move silently without anyone knowing what had changed in their lives.
