her

I had a
friend she was so beautiful not only in appearance but also in character. She
cared for me even when I slightly unwell, she repeatedly ask me to take
medicine, rest, and avoid unnecessary work. I appreciated her concern and sometimes I said to her,
"stay at my place if
you're so worried about me.'' She would respond, stop talking nonsense, take
care of yourself."
She was my
good friend. I used to tell her a lot. It was the era of youth; my interests
were also youthful, and it was at the
peak. I was goodlooking and handsome. When I made a new girlfriend or a female
friend, I would tell her, and she would always tease me. Sometimes she would
get quite angry, and she would respond me in teasing manner. I often felt her
words like.... she is falling for me. But I didn't want that.... because I had
experienced betrayal in love, and I didn't want to deceive her. In actual I don't want to loss my bestie.....
I really don't want to stand her in
disasters. She was a very kind-hearted girl. That's why I stopped talking to
her. Whenever she asked, I would say, "Life is very busy, and there's no
time for talks." Whenever she called, I would only answer her questions
and not engage in further conversation. Perhaps, she sensed that I didn't want
to talk, so she stopped talking to me, and I had no communication with her
anymore.
As time
passed, I moved to America, and life became busy. In all these years, the
thought of her never crossed in my mind. Perhaps, I had forgotten her. But I knew deep down that she would never
truly forget me.
Whenever I
talked to my family, they would say, "Come to pakistan, it's time for you
to get married." I always declined or brushed it aside. But today, my
mother started crying, the same emotional blackmail that mothers often use to
push their children into marriage.
I said,
"Okay, Mom, find a girl for me." That's when my sister spoke up,
"For my brother, we'll find a girl who will take care of him, pay
attention to the little things for you."
My sister's
words reminded me, and after a while, her thought came back to me. I closed my
eyes and began to ponder. All moments came into my mind that's we spent
together.... But that same that moment, it occurred to my mind that she
had started falling for me and due to that emotions, she used to do all this. I
pushed aside my thoughts and focused on my work. After a few weeks, I came to
Pakistan, and by coincidence i had to go to the hospital with my mother. she
were becoming a doctor she bocomes or not, I didn't familiar from that. I were
walking in my own attentions andsuddenly, I saw her. She was talking to my
mother in the same accent that she used for me. she had become even more
beautiful than before..... or maybe I hadn't seen her after a long time, that's
why she looked stunning to me. She always looked so beautiful in black dress
and that's why she love to use black outfits and due to her black wearing I
used to call her by the name of "blacky''...... But may be that was just
my baises.... May be love had added color to her life. I had lost in these
thoughts, and the same time she came up to me, and say Aslam o aliakum in the
same manner as she always did. Her way of speaking about things was different
from her demeanor of Salam, We had a short conversation, but those shades on her
face were forcing me to think about many things these are engrossing me to ask.
I asked to her about meet up somewhere for peaceful talk, and she told me a
medical college...... where she might teaching. She told me to come an hour
before the class, I agreed, beacuse I knew that... she would never come to a
public place to meet.
After a few
days I went to meet her on a Tuesday. Today, she still looked very lovely, with
those dimples who always make her gorgeous. After some conversations.
I asked in a
casual manner, '' Who is he that has brought so much color to your life? Has
someone fallen deeply in love with you? Is it love, or is there another secret?
After hearing my question, she blushed and, smiling, and said, 'I am nikahfied,
and after two month I will be some legal wife..... I was amazed and with casual
smile I congratulate her. After this revelation, we talked some other
stuff.....In amidst our conversation, I
inquired about her feelings, that I sensed she had an emotions for me, which is
why she seemed uncomfortable when I talked to other girls, being frank with
them, making calls to them..... etc."
She was
perplexed but She answered calmly.
I cared you
just because of.....
it is the 1st
important aspect of friendship to take care of your friend and prevent them
from engaging in actions that could cause difficulties for them and the
remaining matter about girlfriends and the relationships.... you were never
serious with anyone. And if a girl became serious about you, made a claim of
love, and you left her, then that girl's heart suffered just like yours did a
while ago. I have seen your pain with my own eyes, and I didn't want someone
has suffered in those situation because of you. That's why I told you don't to
be in a relationship. Let it go...... because hurting someone's heart is a sin,
and I didn't want to let you commit that sin. If these all things were love for
you, then I confess that yes, I loved you."
But my love
wasn't based on your thoughts; it was a love of commitments and then she stand
up and said It's time for my class now; I have to go... she left me there and,
kept walking, she had gone from my sight...I returned home after some time.
Despite being
a successful businessman, I lost a great friend due to my personal mindset.
After that
day, I realized that not every girl comes into man's life for that love same we
men think. Some women come, despite having a flawed mindset like ours...... to
rebuild the crumbling palaces of their thoughts. Unfortunately, I lost that
friend, and since that day, I have neither been able to be friends with any
girl nor forget her. But still
"I lost her......
