………….He came to my life like a comet. He was tall. He was dark and handsome. I liked his untrimmed beard, his innocence, his exulted aloofness, his brilliance. He too liked me. He said- Nili--Your eyes are very deep, very lively, and very elegant. You are my god’s angel. I enjoyed his company. We loved each other. We always moved together We moved around the circuit house, we strolled in the dark street humming a hit song. I said- It’s too dark. He said- I have a fire inside. I will light you up. He was nice, natural and straightforward. We argued in the café. We walked down the over bridge laughing aloud. We spent hours together in the park, in the garden, in a nice cottage in the forest... We talked endlessly on movies, on theatres, on poetry, on politics, on music and what not? ……Then came the inevitable. All good things have an end. …One day he came to me. He was silent. The turbulence was visible. What happened to you? - I enquired. He said- Nili--I am going. I am sorry, I do not love you .I love someone else. Sorry, Nili-- I will not come back to you anymore. I was stunned. I was devastated. I was broken in my heart. Why? Why this thing happened to me?? My ears were burning. Tears rolled down from my eyes. He did not give any answer. I said- You are a coward. You get lost. Go to hell! I ran away. Months gone by. He never came back. He was unfaithful. His memory was bitter. I go to the sea shore daily. I sit there for hours. I count the waves… I still do not understand why he left me. Why he could not see the blooming flower? I have tried to be honest. Why he could not touch my soul? Why his mind was so fickle? No one shed a tear, no one share my agony, and no one feel my inner tumult. I am depressed. I am sad. What is lacking in me? Why I am cheated? No answer comes, No reply posted. I hear only the sound of sea water .Setting sun splash orange colour on the water, on the beach sand, on my grey face. I am alone…. dreadfully alone….bitterly alone on a wide sea……….
