The evening went completely opposite
to what Priya had imagined.
When Sushant came in, Priya thought
that she will warn him about Deepti’s situation. However, by the time he
settled down, Deepti was already there. She seemed to be in no mood to discuss
her problems in front of Sushant.
In the end, the trio ended up having
a lot of fun, playing pranks and cracking jokes at each other. Priya was so
relieved to be around her two favourite people.
She felt bad that she couldn’t speak
to Deepti about her issues but in a way was happy that her friend had an
evening away from her miseries.
In coming days, Priya spent a lot of
time, showing around new places to Sushant. Since, she took a couple of days
off from work; they spent time with Navya and her parents.
When it was time to go, Sushant told
Priya about Nitin’s engagement. It felt as if someone had dropped a bomb on
her. Somewhere, she had kept the hope alive that one day when he will hear of
their daughter, or see her picture on facebook, he will realize his mistake.
But this new found information killed the last bit of hope.
Crying over her loss, was something
Priya was over with long ago. She took the information with a pinch of salt and
moved on.
Days in office weren’t as pleasant as
before. She had been good friends with Harsh and the problems with his
relationship made her distance herself a little further.
Priya spent more and more time with
her daughter who was about to be six months old now. She had moved on.
Deepti decided to carry on with her
work and separated from Harsh. She moved into a new apartment against her
mother’s wishes. Priya made sure that she coped up well with the new void that had been created in her life.
New twist of event.
ReplyDeleteYes...thats how it is in life i believe.

DeleteFeels familiar. I have to read back to see the story line. Thanks for sharing. Found your blog on UBC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara :)
DeleteComing into the story without any context I'm a little lost, but as a fellow writer I would suggest that there's no need to hurry through your character's encounters with each other. You might want to provide more setting (details about environment, surroundings, etc) to help set the stage of what's going on. It will help things flow together a little better rather than seeming short and choppy as one event moves directly to the next. I hope that makes sense? Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteSarah my dear...thanks for your feedback. I think you are right.
