Wedding Bells - The other side
She stared at the screen. He had sent a mail. She had not opened it yet.
She had been a close friend of his for quite some years. But they had never crossed that line of friendship to enter the region of commitment or relationship. The subject of the mail was 'Hi'.
She opened the mail. She had mixed emotions. She didnt know if she should be angry with him not keeping in touch or should she be happy that he had sent a mail.
Hi,
How is life? I know its been a long time.....
It had been ten years since they had last had a conversation. She had just completed her 12th grade and he was in college when she had to leave the country. Her dad had been put on an overseas assignment.
So I think the last time we met was in the airport.
She remembered that very well. She was leaving and was alone as her parents had already left. A couple of friends had come to the airport but she was anxiously waiting for him. He came with only a few minutes to spare. She could sense the sadness in him. But she couldnt muster the courage to tell him that she harboured feelings for him.
Well I think we did spend a good part of our teenage life together. I really think that was the best part of my life. Do u remember that pact we made......
How could she forget the pact. Just a couple of months before she left she decided that she had to make a move. She had realised that he will always look at her as a friend and they will never be able to take the relationship to something more than just friends. But she also didnt want to ruin the friendship. So she decided to show a sign hoping he will catch it. She put forth the pact. He had agreed to it naturally but she could see the "not so interested" look in his face as he said yes. Now why was he bringing this up....
Well I thought I will inform you that the pact may not hold good anymore. I am getting married next month. I really would like you to be there........
How could she go.....She turned her tearful eyes away from the monitor.
Her eyes fell on the TV screen. "My Best Friend's Wedding " was the movie that was playing.
Her eyes lit up. She would surely go...........
