Leaving the Altar
I was at the airport waiting with all my bag pack and boarding pass sitting on the waiting zone scrolling through my phone
I was just out of a wedding.
And now I was here alone, without my bride. Without the love of my life! Without My Idris!
Rohan
*text message*
Look at your doll, isn't she the most beautiful bride anyone would have ever seen?
It was a text message from Rohan
And I viewed her picture.
Rivaan
*smiles caressing her picture with his thumb**
Yeah, she was the most beautiful bride anyone would have ever seen.
I thought of typing something up but then... I couldn't, I ended up blocking Theo's number
Everything has been settled
Tomorrow the headlines would be all over America.
"The youngest son of Pratap Mallik, Rivaan Mallik died in a horrible accident."
Vihaan and Dad have even arranged for my corpse for Idris to see.
After Idris would know that I left her at the altar she would hate me, and when she would know that I died, she would know not to wait for me. She will be forced to believe that I'll never come back.
And then, maybe then she can have a happily ever after with someone who is not me.
Someone who is far better than me.
Someone who isn't a coward like me
Just a minute later they announced
"Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 89B to Pari We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you."
Rivaan
*takes a deep breath and switches off his iPhone**
It's time now I say bye to the city which had my girl holding up here
If fate has it, I would be glad to see you again. I don't know how but... I would love to see you happy someday with him and his kids.
A thing that neither did you ever get...
Nor could I have ever given to you.
Rivaan
*smashes his iPhone breaking it and throws it into the trash can**
I mumbled and set up my bag-pack over my back and left to board the plane
Inside the plane, I was trying to find my seat and finally got one. My seat was next to the alley.
There was this beautiful young woman seated at the window besides my seat, who I think was going to be my companion for this 27-hour journey.
She was going through her phone.. But sure she was one hell of a beauty.
I immediately said snuffling through the handkerchief as I was kinda vulnerable right now. The kind of mood I would not want this woman to watch me in right now
Naina
*snuffles a quick smile and got back at her phone**
She didn't reply. Just smiled. She looked sad to me, just like how I was.
The things I was going through inside my head right now, I wanted to share those things with someone and don't know why, here in this very moment, this girl seemed just as broken as I was.
