"Oh you believe in all this?", I asked Naman as he walked me towards the wishing well, in the middle of the jungle.
"No harm in trying right", he smiled as he handed me a coin and asked me to close my eyes to make a wish.
I closed my eyes and wished that Naman would forgive me for 'that' mistake. I did not intend on cheating on him, just that I was really drunk that day and Sahil happened to drop me home.
Before I could complete my wish, I felt Naman's hands on me pushing me into the well.

ReplyDeleteThank you Shailaja! :)
Deletethis was awesome. well deserved.

DeleteThe end was totally unexpected.
ReplyDeleteI was actually expecting to see--
Before I could complete my wish, I felt Naman's hands on me in a protective way and assured me, “Don’t worry so much about an accident. Just forget it as if it was a bad dream.”
Soumya, you like to take people on a roller coaster ride. Don’t you? ;)
You really have a way with feelings ! :)
Oh yes I do! :)
DeleteThank you!

DeleteOh my God.. didn't expect THAT twist! Forgiveness for cheating is one of the most debatable topics though.
