A for Adarsh

"Why did you block me?" were the exact words that were typed in the small Facebook Messenger window

Adarsh kept thinking the reason why Priya may have blocked him
Was it because he didn't take her out for the Dinner Date that was scheduled months back
Or Was it because he didn't appreciate her gesture of buying the "Chocolate Mud" from Just Bake as a Shubho Bijoya mishti mukh

The Text got a notification of "Seen 9:34pm" but no one was typing
He thought in his mind its all over, she will never forgive him
But didn't he speak the truth and only the truth to her
Wont a woman like her, who is caring, matured, loving understand all that he said and all that he couldn't say

Time flew as he kept roaming in the grey hallway of his thoughts
Has he done something so bad that he will never be forgiven
He never wants to hurt someone, that was not his intention.
Will all the walks and the drives and the holding hands and the kisses fade away to just one thing he said

After a good 20 mins Priya replied - "There is no use talking to you now. You need time to settle and I don't want to linger things"
Adarsh felt a moment of relaxation, unknowingly he just took a deep inhalation and typed very carefully - "Yes, you are right"
He paused thinking that the tank of angst in Priya will start flowing
Again there was the "Seen 9:59pm" but no "...is typing" was seen
Out of desperation he wrote "You are an amazing person"
Again there was the "Seen 10:05pm" but no reply
Adarsh thought in his mind why is time so heavy on him now. Why does it feel he is in a chamber breathing and he can hear his own breath
This time he wrote "I am no longer at Techno Park now, I have moved out of the place"
Curiosity is a tool to unscrew. Though there was the seen on the messenger but no typing or reply came back.

His mind tried to convince him that he did the right thing. He did tell the truth, he did try to give it a nice ending, but his heart popped up with a balloon of honesty saying You know what you have done

To be Continued.....
