The Wishing Well

Image Source: Google

"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.

  5. The end was totally unexpected.
    I 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 ! :)

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

    1. Debatable yes. But I would never forgive a cheat. I'd do what Naman did.
