I waited at the bus station like you had asked, right next to this parked bus for more than an hour; but you did not arrive. Your phone is switched off too, I guess you chickened out at the very last minute. I am standing here with all my belongings hastily dumped into a bag and a photograph of my family, whom I left, just to start a new life with you. Of course I cannot go back now, I do not have the guts to face them after this. My new life shall sure start, with or without you.
This five sentence fiction is written for the topic 'Waiting' at Lillie McFerrin Writes.
This drabble (100 word fiction) is written for Friday Fictioneers, 22nd August.

ReplyDeleteThere is so much more I want to know - was the guy a jerk? Or, was she stupid in not being able to judge his intentions? You know, who's fault was it really!?
ReplyDeleteMake your own conclusion. That is why the open end.
DeleteI like her reserve!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad!
DeleteSoumya, I don't know what kind of family she left, so I don't know if she'll be okay. If she has a good education, she should make it, unless she needed her family for job connections. Well written. : ) ---Susan
