Fa(il)ling in love

He is standing on the tallest building around. In spite of all measures taken by security department, he managed to get on the top of this 500 m tall building and he is about to JUMP. He is unaware of the surroundings, it is dark both inside and outside. He has lost his love, his only love and all his hopes. He loves her more than anything and after 2 years of relationship, she said “Sorry, we don’t have any future together”. Stunned and this came out of his mouth unconsciously “What! I don’t understand, what went wrong”. Her immediate reply was “Exactly! This is your problem. You never understand”. He let her go at that time, but he pledged that he would make her understand, how much he loved her and no one else can love her more than him. He cried; people showed sympathy. Tired of other sympathy, he started smiling, keeping his sorrow inside; people thought he had forgotten her. All this has led him to this moment – On top of this building.

He says his final words to her “Good bye” and jumped. Chilly wind starts hitting his face, forcing him to close his eyes. The falling sensation is making his body numb. In 10 seconds he is going to hit the ground. What he has missed was the air drag which has increased considerably by his open arms and loose clothes. He starts thinking about her. He is sure that she will feel sad; he wants to make her sad for leaving him so that she can realize that she did a mistake. A smile appears on his face. His conscience replied “Is this what you call LOVE”. He argued logically. But at that last moment he is not able to cheat his conscience. Why not! Cheating own conscience is the easiest thing to do. For the first time, he not only forgives her but instead he is feeling guilty. One thought leading to another and in those 5 seconds his whole life flashed in his mind. He hated all those who were unfair to him. But then there were many instances when he was unfair. His eyes are still closed but there is light now. The meaning of love and friendship are clearer than ever. He remembers the kindness shown to him, which he has often overlooked. Love is not in life time commitment, it is in moments. She cannot marry him does not mean that she does not love him anymore. She does. Being together is not everything and if it is everything he already has 2 years of it. If those 2 years means nothing then probably after spending 50 years together he will think like this only. Love is when and what you feel. He cannot die. He has to live for those people who love him. His mind is totally clear now. In the beginning he has opened his arms in submission but now his arms are open to embrace. His face calm and eyes still closed.

But he is falling. Falling at very high speed. This falling seems familiar. He has seen himself falling many a times in his dreams. His eyes still closed. And he is thinking “It has to be dream and now his eyes will open and he will find himself lying on bed.. and from tomorrow, he will set everything right. Actually everything is already right. Only his mind was full of anxiety which was getting projected in the real life and now that is all gone……………………………” THUD!!

Hmm..
Don't agree...! Very easy to say " this is love, i'll keep on loving her forever, love is to sacrifice" . What i believe if u love some one.. "don't let her go away at any cost"..but if she still goes away.. she was never urs.. or she doesn't deserve u!

But good composition!!! :)
Cheers!!

Athena said...

Firstly chng this template!!

waise nice composition.. ye kiski sachchai yahan bayan kiya hai tumne ;) nice one!!

As i had penned in my blog, sometimes its all destiny tht u meet someone or get departed!! Every other person who enters ur life comes for some known and unknown reason, so he shud be satisfied tht he met her, he was lucky to have been part of her life... He should cherish those moments they spend together than lamenting on the same...

template chng maadi :DD

Naman Sinha said...

nice blog. hope that its not a real story. But please change the title. He was not falling in love. love is not like that.In true love u dont look for ur happiness but look for the happiness of those u love. If that girl was more happy with other boy then let it be. Let her go with other.Atleast she told him that she is not happy with him.

From a practical veiw point.... why waste ur time , ur energy and ur life for a girl who doesnt care for ur sentiments.Ditch her and find some other girl who truely loves u.

wasie easier said than done....because love is blind and may be deaf ,dumb and mad too

Anonymous said...

i didnt like the end...........even law believe in giving a second chance but i dont........if a person is so weak that he can not differentiate btwn love and "future possibility" y do he claims that he loves?????????
its not necessary for him to live and rightn up the things

-nivas
wow, i ddnt expect ur comment and too appreciation wala. thnx.. i needed it

Anonymous said...

Great philosophy on love and friendship. The quote "Love is not in life time commitment, it is in moments." is really awesome...

Piyush k Mishra said...

I dont know what others say...but I like your short story. Its touchy.
It happens several times when we are wrong but dont realise and ignore those who make us see our faults and when we realise....its too late.
In today's life we see more and more broken hearts and broken family and thats just because we never accept the truth....I m wrong.

Good
Very Good

Dude! Long time no siege!! kaha ho aajkal?

Going right dude! I appreciate(and njoy) your(ur protagonist's) attitude...

bhau, kahe dream se nahin jaga diye bechare ko. kabhi kabhi doosra chance de dena chaiye usko jo seekh jaata hai life ka lesson.

Deepshikha said...

ek baat boliye pls... Y exactly did he jump... i dont think to prove a point to his love or to cheat himself... Well i guess it was senseless jumping coz' no one deserves ur life more than u..

Anonymous said...

Sorry to say this but this is not an original post . I have read the same thing somewhere else too thinking that was original but guess even that person was not original

sahi me ji .. you have great vision to realise and feel the real life situation just by imagination and your dreams (while sleeping).
great,..thinking....

Anonymous said...

hey!
i really liked this article of yours.
good one!i guess things become clear only when u r losing them.thank god it was only a thud!!

Vineet said...

hey its really cool yaar..

Rishter Shigur said...

brilliant!!!!reminds me of SAKI....although some might say that it is a tad unromantic, but i feel that this article portrays true feelings and anxieties of men who try to show that they have hearts of steel.Men do dream and they do dream silly stuff!!!

Bini said...

something resonated.. :)

Anonymous said...

now that I think of it again, you chose an easy ending.. for some of us, the distance between the jump and the thud is not of few seconds but of years, almost half of lifetime, and that is when the flashes are recurrent and emptiness permanent..
