The Lonely Bench

It's good to be back... She thought while locking the door... After two and a half years she was back in same city... Same apartment complex...

Not many things have changed in this time span... She murmured while strolling around... it's nice to see few old familiar faces in between many new ones... She was all lost in talking to herself... after few left and right turns she was there...at her favorite view point..

 

What a view she whispered as her eyes caught that lonely bench in a corner...slowly she walked down towards it.. a beautiful evening! She murmured and sat down with a deep breath...
While enjoying her solitude... she was lost in past... how she used to sit there for hours. She always liked this silent corner of the building to talk to herself... many times she cried her heart out… sobbed for hours right after having fight with him... and one by one memories of gone moments started hitting her... and just when tears welled in her eyes... in that very moment… someone called her.. "Sweets" … she blinked her eyes and turned around… boy was standing there with smile...
I knew it… that you must be here only... he said cheerfully…
But how do you know..? I never told ya about this place… she looked at him in surprise...

Yes! But I saw you sitting here many times... he replied calmly... you look sad... what happen..?

Nothing... I just like this lonely bench... she said slowly and blinked her lashes one more time to hide those tiny drops of tears...

I know... he said with a deep sigh... and then asked...can you promise me something sweets..?

What..??

Promise me you won't come here to sit alone again.. I can't see you in tears.. and drew her in a tight hug..

I promise... she whispered in his ear and smiled..

After that they sat there... talked about nothing or may be everything... enjoyed moments of togetherness... and as the sun waved good bye and stars twinkled in the sky... they walked back towards their home holding hands... smiling.. .and content..

She turned around to look at that lonely bench… which wasn't looking so lonely anymore… coz now it has few beautiful moments to recall..

Song of the moment: 

Yeh din kya aaye.. lage phool hasne.. dekho basanti basanti hone lage mere sapne.. sone jaise ho rahi hai ab har subah meri.. lage har saanjh gulaal se bhari...( Choti Si Bat)
