Unjoined Edges ________________________________ He and she enter in a café, order cappuccino and head for a quiet table at the corner. Romantic air surrounds them quickly. They see through the glass windows from inside- Lights of the last few hours of the day have created a dreamy setting outside. People passing by- unhurried and relaxed. Couples hand in hand, friends with jovial gestures. A young pair on the other side of the street kissing each other with fervent warmth. He and she see and then bring their sentience inside again. He: -How is life? She: - Going okay, yours? -Good. Working hard? -Yes, trying. That’s what I survive on now- hard work. All sorts of work. ……….[a long 10 second pause]…….. He: - Still love me with the same zeal? She: - Ya, not a scintilla of it faded away. - I know- so difficult to forget. Such an inflammation in the heart. - How is your love? Getting any response from her? - No, still it is the same- uncertainty and enigma. -Have you told her about your feelings? - I couldn’t, it is so hard. But she should understand it, shouldn’t she? - You didn’t want to understand mine, did you? -No. you are right. I wanted you to understand that I don’t love you and expected you to back off eventually. - I knew it. But I still told you. -It means you went through all these painful days and night I am going through now. Didn’t you? -Yes I did. I cried over you; I spent hundreds of hours looking at your photographs, thinking of you; Every time I saw something beautiful I wanted to give it to you. - Same here. What a tragedy of life! - But you must tell her. It is important that she knows all these things. -What if she rejects me? I can’t survive over a “NO” from her. -Same I thought about your rejection. I spent countless night without sleep thinking of you and also fearing the consequence of you saying NO to my love. But see I am going with it. Nothing could be more jubilant than getting your love in my life. I didn’t get it. But I am going with it- see! You can live too even if she does not accept your love. But you must try. - You believe so? - With all my heart. - Won’t it make you sad- if I get along with other(s)? - I love you more than anything else in the world. And till the last breath I will do. But I want you to find your love too. I just wish I were the girl you could love. But God had different plan, you see. - I wish I could love you too. He and she look outside. The young couple still holding each other on the other side of the street. He and she attended their coffee again. It is getting cold. They must finish it before it becomes tasteless. ............................. 8 Winchester Road Oxford.
