Love forever


It was way past 1 in the wee hours, Nikkitha and Surya stood on the terrace of the Housing board colony. Half-eaten cake on the parapet wall, cream on Surya’s face, hands clung together with lips locked. That terrace had more memories than the number of clothes which were left for drying. Tears rolled down Surya’s eyes. Nikkitha had left him once in for all, chose another man for her life, to make her happy, to give her kids and live with her. Rakesh and the other boys were busy filling a glass bulb with acid. They clearly instructed Surya that she deserves punishment and that throwing acid on her face would be the easiest way. By early morning they heard music from Nikkitha’s house, it was her betrothal day. The boys gave him a pep talk, before passing on the acid-filled bulb. On seeing Nikkitha, Surya threw the bulb, not on her but in a dustbin near her. Tears rolled and he told Rakesh, ‘how can I hate a woman whom I loved more than my life?’
