Forever....

Monica smiled as she remembered what Suresh was saying a night before. The newspaper lay limply on her lap. He had been telling her how much he loved her and how badly he missed her. He was never so talkative and hardly ever expressed his feelings which made Monica feel strange. There was pain in his voice, as he said “Will you always love me like this?” She was too busy then, shopping and arguing with the shopkeeper. Suresh kept quiet as Monica continued arguing with the shopkeeper, finally to hear “what?” There was silence after which Suresh said “I have to go now.” Monica got very upset at this and banged the mobile saying “go away. I wont talk to you.” The phone went silent. He didn’t call all night. His phone was showing that it was switched off. She checked when he had called. It was 8 pm. Monica picked up the newspaper again which showed the accident of Suresh at 7:50 pm. Tears began to roll down her eyes as she told herself, “forever”.
