Another chance

While she was about to leave their home, she was also leaving him. The way he had changed, the way he had started drinking and abusing her, it was all she could do. The house they built with so much love, the house that had their dreams in, it was about that house, that it was no longer a house.

In the bloom of their youth, when they had been the perfect lovebirds, two people who were made for each other, who were compatible and understood each other better than anyone in the world, were leaving each other, after being united for six years. She couldn't question fate, for such a tragic upbringing of their bond of love. Just the way, she didn't question fate, for giving them the most beautiful days of their lives, when they respected each other.

In her last message to him, in her eyes of pain, disdain and heartbreak, she gave him the possessions of their togetherness. She left on their bed, the diaries they had written in admiration of each other, the letters they had posted in longing for the other one. The photographs, the CD's of their special moments, she just left it behind for him to somewhere see, how he had changed with the time.

Wine had reached his head, his heart was no longer capable of emotions. Then, finally she left.

It was one day, when he was alone that he didn't eat well, wasn't appreciated at work. It was a remorse, a guilt for his deeds of the past. He finally ended up, viewing their treasures of life. He felt what he hadn't felt for years now, he had felt that heart full of emotions, of love for someone whom he had married. Her eyes were reflective of all those dreams they had seen together. The time, seemed to correct his flaws.

With a heavy heart, he finally ended up calling her after three years. He was crying on the phone, he had felt the worst, he had apologised her a hundred times that day. When she agreed to come back home, he felt he was given another chance to love her, give her all that she deserved and not disrespect or abuses. As, she entered the place he called his home, where he lived after their separation, did she see, how he had beautifully given a place to each memory of theirs that she had left behind to him three years ago.

She knew, it was time that had brought yet another change in his attitude of life and towards her. It was just loneliness teaching him, that because of his wrongdoings, a girl who had loved him a lot was suffering. It was about love that they were united yet again. It was peace above all, to see the old him; the person who had cared for her, at every point.

She still didn't question fate, this time she thanked it. Not all people who leave ever comeback to their love, with apologies. She had given him another chance but at the same time, she didn't know what more the future had in store for them. In that moment, she had merely given themselves another chance because it was about heart that it wanted things to happen in a particular way. For the love of their youth was as glowing this time again as it did in the very first time, when they had met. Fate, it was; the greatest incarnation that came with stories and in the passage of time.
