“We were so happy together” she said. There was a smile on her face and wetness in her eyes suggesting that she was overwhelmed by what she was thinking about.
“Why did she do it? Why does it have to be the way she wants the world to be?” she asked as a tear rolled down her right cheek.
“Are we getting back together?” she asked. She was ready this time, ready for any response.
“No”, he replied. “I am here to do justice”
She nodded and looked outside the window thinking about what had happened.
Just two years ago, she was so happy. For the first time in her life she felt accepted, respected and appreciated. It was a new experience for her. She didn’t feel comfortable with her parents because she felt that they don’t like her and see her as a burden. Her workplace, a large multi-national company was her worst nightmare because of the politics it harbored. She had a lot of people around her, but she knew that no one really cared about her. Her shields were up, ensuring that she would not get into a bad relationship like most other people she knew.
But her shields were not strong enough to block the feeling of love. She looked at him and knew that he was right for her. They really didn’t know each other that well, but somehow her shields were off in front of him. She was emotional and caring while he was cold and ruthless. “Opposites attract!!”, she told herself. Somehow things went well and they came together. Her instincts were right - they were made for each other. She showed him the power of love and the ability to feel things as compared to just form an opinion around them. He showed her ways to deal with the real world. Lost in their newfound worlds both of them failed to see the storm ahead of them.
Although she didn’t fit into groups, she felt very comfortable with her only friend, The Bitch (of course this fulltime name was coined much later). If we look at it, The Bitch was not that bad at one point of time. Somehow unfortunate people feel nurtured with other people’s misery. The Bitch lived on people who gave her all the attention she wanted. A sudden loss of attention filled The Bitch with rage.
He suspected this and suggested that the presence of The Bitch was not healthy. But she told him that things will improve with time. She trusted The Bitch with her whole heart and made him accept The Bitch as a part of their new world. Her hope and optimism encouraged him to take decisions with his heart. In less than a year, they were closer than all the other people they knew.
“Why do you love me?” she asked him one day.
“I really can’t express it the way it’s expressed in cheesy books and movies, but the thing is that you know what needs to be done and I know how to do it. We need each other to take everything from start to finish”, he replied knowing it didn’t sound very impressive.
There she was, two years from that day. It took her two years to realize that The Bitch could not bear the lack of attention and played some dirty mind games to separate them, just like he warned her then.
“I know what needs to be done - Ruin her relationship like she ruined ours!!!!” she cried.
He looked into her eyes suggesting that he wanted her to ask for it.
“Complete me!! Tell me how we can do it??” she asked with her eyes red in fury.
With a wicked smile on his face he walked behind her and took a card out of his pocket. He placed it on her palm and then revealed the picture of a parachute on it.
“Project Eject” he whispered in her ears knowing that it had already triggered a few memories in her head.
