I was sitting on my Windows with the dark grey clouds shading the sky. Winds blowing fast, I could see the storm approaching to me. All sunlight deaming low slowly. The sky getting dark with an angry storm thumping in the sky. Once the starry night sky has now become the pitch dark field of nothingness. The Drops fell down. At first, just a few sprinkled but it colluded did with the thunder and the storm, after which the rain became ferocious.

She slowly passed behind me. She must have had that shy smirk of hers that she always had, and with a blue bow in her hair that I gifted. Her hands are cold, her feet are cold that I could sense it by then. "You must have had it rough there". She smiled, with much pain I revealed  

"I remember my promise of time, I had planned a whole weekend we will go for a movie that you wished for then the restaurant then we always dine into. I had plans that when we walk down the streets, I will tease you over your stupid brain cells that don't know when to stop, you can then throw a tantrum. You can stomp your little feet ahead and as usual, I will follow those steps, grab you from behind and embrace it until you forgive me". 

She asked me "What next"

"Then, we will have your favourite chocolate ice cream near the park, the cotton candy on the riverbank, and then a gift from the gift shop."

"I had it all planned but you left me, you left me alone, on my own, for now and ever. It wasn't my fault at all, where you hold it from me after all.      I hated your objections, I hated your explanations, I hated your apologies, I hate it all to this day. But I endured it with a smile till date because I loved you. For all these years I loved you when we fought but still, you came to me to make it. I loved you when I fell down and used to stand behind me. I loved you when no one I cared for did the same except you. 

I loved you back then and we'll do so forever. I only love you, Manna.

 She replied "Again late, never on time, always late but now is too late. isn't it? you should had said it sooner.....sooner, before I closed my eyes and you weren't there for the last moment. I cherished you with all that I had."

 The alarm rings but my eyes are dark and wet as they haven't slept for days now.  windows are clean and dry, the day was out with the scorching heat of Summer. The Thunder, the cloud, the night sky, the wind and all that there was there, wasn't there. She wasn't there, neither was I.

NEITHER WAS I...
