Callback..

The Arabian sea was not in a great mood either.Behind the backdrop of the setting sun there she sat ..all alone.
Even I felt strangely helpless.Its strange how weird it feels at times.
It felt restless all around..the waves were hitting the shores with an unknown anger trying
to scrape away as much of the sand it can take..all at a time..

"May I ?"

She looked at me through her wet eyes and nodded.I dint know if that was an approval or a denial
but decided to sit.I felt a strange silence
between us even in between this roaring sea waves.

We were silent for a long time.She wept on and I blankly stared at the sea..It felt never ending,I wished if I could skip this moment,I was numb..
it was slowly getting on me..

"Why do you love him so much??"

"What do you mean?"..that was enough for her..

"Sometimes I wonder why it is like that,why do we love someone..I mean why do we want someone!!
Why do you love him ?"

"I dont know why..I ..I just do ..",she choked..

"Even knowing that he..."

"...that he doesn't love me? Yes still.."

"Rai,you are beautiful,you are intelligent..I mean there are thousand of guys who will die for you,
you can get anyone you want..I mean.."

"If I am so good then why cant I have him !!!"

I dint know what to say..this was hard,real hard to answer..so innocent in her way..and as always,I was blank..

"I dont know that..dont you think we should not expect such things in life that we cant ever..."

before I could end,she was crying more and more.She rest her head on ma shoulders.She made me weak..

"Thanx neel.."

I felt a pain somewhere deep inside,a lump there in my throat,don't ask why..I dint know that either. I closed my eyes for a while and then
looked at the cloudy evening sky..its going to rain tonight..
