"Siddhi just couldn't thank God enough for the professional break she had got and she did it on her own.She was a bit sceptical though her close buddies and her family assured her she would get through .....and they were right.She could do it.She couldn't believe it..
She celebrated her birthday with her close buddies -Gayathri,Niel,Sanjay & her family that night and thanked God again profusely before she went upto bed that night and stood in her small room,thinking about it,she thought of Sachin and how proud he would have been of her,if he was with her.If things had been different,they would have been together witnessing her success.They would have been celebrating their first anniversary of being with each other.But life hadn't worked out the way she wanted.He hadn't been willing to fight for it.He had been too afraid to cross the bridge into another life with her.And suddenly she knew what he had meant when he said how strong she was.(Suddenly a flash from the past when she sat with Sachin & Gayathri at a open restaurant when they where enjoying a evening snack and suddenly Sachin's out of the topic discussion on Relationship & Marriage confused her "Not neccessary all relationship ends up in Marriage"he had said.....then). Because therein lay the difference between them. She was willing to cross the bridge,to fight for anyone
,or anything.she had been willing to be there for him,but no matter how much she loved him,he just couldn't do it.(She had made it clear numerable times with him that she was not looking for a passing phase relationship with him and he questioned back asking did she feel he was not serious?)He had been a gentleman and she knew she would never again love anyone as she loved him.But whatever he had been,and however much he had loved her,he hadn't loved her enough to fight for it.He had turned back at the last minute,he had given it all up,and she had lost everything.(He ignored the serious discussion always whenever she asked about their future togther,after all whats wrong if she
wanted to discuss and everytime he accused her of being emotional & sentimental.Finally around her birthday he told her plainly that he wanted an arranged marriage & wished to marry a girl of his parents choice .....now all the memory crambled before her of how she had been there for him when he was a failure.....how she handled all blame & hate from her family when they got to know about her relationship with Sachin....but she never complained or showed her helplessness to him -cause she was strong and handled everything with courage) And now little by little,she had to start everything.......ALONE(she had told him once during when they were together that she hates being alone...she fears.....being alone,and he had told her the same....and promised to be with her always......)She didn't hate him for it,but she was still very sad and thought she probably always would be,whenever she thought about him.And that one question forever lingering her "Why couldn't he think about his families wish & choices before getting into it all?(coz you don't need to ask for your parents permission before getting into a relationship :-) )
And as she layed across the bed looking outside the window away at the dark clear sky,she could see his face in her mind's eye so clearly,she could almost touch him,the big naughty smile,those eyes......the way he made her feel when they were togther.It made her heart ache thinking about him.But as much as she loved him,she knew something else now.She was a survivor.He had abondoned her,and she didn't die.And for the first time in her life,she was excited about what life had stored for her,and she wasn't frightened.......that she can live the rest of her life ALONE with a Smile that hides everything................:-)P.S :
She never stopped Loving him....just stopped Showing.........................

Luv & Regards,
