Everyday she comes and sits near me. She keeps looking outside gazing in space. I could never see her face, only long black hair. She sits silently as if planning to say something. I could never dare to ask her.

One day she came and stood in front of mirror. I tried to look at her face through mirror. I felt she is crying. I kept my hand on her shoulder. She turned at me. Her eyes were wet. She was really crying. I was looking at her. Suddenly her face became fierce. I stepped back. It seemed she is going to shout on me, but she did not. She got up and walked out same as everyday.

Today something strange happened. She walked in and looked directly into my eyes. She said "I want to tell you something. I never loved you." I was shocked. My mind immediately started evaluating her line. After evaluation my mind announced 'yes, I knew it. So you are not talking to me since long. It was all your plan" But my heart said " I know this is not true. Tell me this is not true. This is just a lie. A compromise with the situation."

My lips were still sealed. I did not speak anything. She looked at me for a while turned back and walked slowly calmly. I tried to shout, to call her. I tried to run to stop her but my body suddenly got frozen. I was not able to move any part of my body. I was not able to shout. I was not able to breathe. I tried hard and managed to open my eyes. "Oh", I was on bed. I looked around in my room. Far from somewhere a koel(cuckoo) was singing melodiously. My watch was showing 5 in morning. I got up, wore my shoes and started walking on the street. Somewhere on street a guy was pushing sugarcane to extract juice.
