The night was gloomy but the stars shining bright like diamonds were glowing the whole scenario. I was wearing a light grey flowy gown with its long tail wandering generously on the ground following me with every step I made. I put off my sandals that were studded with pure while pearls to node off any sign of arrival. I was walking through the opened passage where I caught the scent of vines of dreamy pink and white floral decoration hanging above me.
My eyes were charmed by that romanticizing entrance and I couldn’t think of more until I met the indescribable moment with those twinkling fairy lights surrounding me when my eyes blinked away from the passage. I was spellbound.
I could hear the steps coming forth behind my back. Every step was rhyming my heartbeat. Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!. Holding my breath with closed eyes, I slowly turned around, released my breath, gathered the courage and slowly opened my eyes peeking. It was him! He was there standing wearing that beautiful smile being more prominent by those heated lips. Just like every other fairy tale this prince charming went down on his knees (the point when my heart started racing), offered me his warm gestured hand and asked me in his deep gentle voice: “ Will you be my soulmate?” Suddenly my heart dropped. There was absolute silence. Inside my stomach butterflies started playing the game. I had thousands of emotions coming up to me and confusing me what to do next. No such situation was expected, not even near the corner. I was awestruck. Just when I was about to reply, he stood up and asked nervously: “ Will she say yes?” My heart shattered into sharp pieces engraving into my nerves.
Things started revolving around me. Everything seemed dark and void. It felt like a painful pinch in my heart. Emotions started doodling inside me and I was lost in the world of “Why?”. I felt his calm gentle palm suddenly tap my shoulder breaking me into reality. He asked me again with dripping want for yes: “Will she?”. No matter how destructive the thunder was rattling inside me, I smiled back gulping every tear down my throat and forcefully nodded in indication to yes while I had my tongue-tied as it refused to express my true self.
He hugged me with immense excitement and said: “That's why I rely on you, you are my best friend”. As soon as he released me, I turned back, still silent as my jaws were locked tightly clinched and kept my way moving to the unknown path. Tears started rolling down my cheeks washing every moment of expression which I thought was meant for me. It felt like I slumped to the ending, the affection towards him felt like a scar. The promise I owed him to never break this friendship bond was now strangling me. This one moment I slipped in love with him and the second I lost both of them, my best friend and my love.
