WAS IT YOUR LOVE? - Chapter 17：The last meeting

Zola left her home and took a cab.She booked a restaurant for them.As she entered she saw Neil’s handsom face.Her heart skipped a beat.This is her last meeting.So she was feeling nostalgic.The first meeting with Neil came to her mind.She loved this person for almost thirteen years now.She couldn’t believe how time flies.Zola waved Neil.He stood and welcome her.

Zola:”How are you Neil?”

Neil:”Same as before.Nothing changed.”

Zola:”But everything else has changed.”

Neil sighed.

The waiter came.Zola ordered coffee for both of them.She couldn’t met Neil’s eyes yet.She felt that she could not leave him if she met with his gaze.

Neil:”Zola,did you forgive me?”

Zola:”Forgiveness comes after truthfulness.”

Neil:”You have changed”

Zola:”Change is good for our life.”

Neil:”….”

Zola:”I want to ask you something.Will you answer truthfully?”

Neil:Today I have came here to face the reality.Ask what is in your mind.

Zola:”Did you ever loved me with your true heart?”

Neil:”Didn’t you come to know it by my actions?”

Zola:”I want clear answer from you.Please you answer me.”

Neil:”Yes”

Zola:”Then why did you left me?Why did you became a coward?Why did you tell my uncle that it was only me who loved you,not you?”

Zola couldn’t keep her tears anymore.Neil wanted to hug and kiss her but restrained himself.He took her hand and said,”Zola,I am sorry.I only brought pains to your life.”

Zola:”Neil, do you love me now?”

Neil:”Yes .I do.I am married.But I never loved my wife.I had to marry for my family.But I would never forget you.”

Zola:”Neil,It is our last meeting.Today I have came here to do formally break up with you.We both love each other.But,we have family.Our families are waiting for us.We cannot hate our families.So today onward please don’t try to meet me .We couldn’t forget each other,but let us sleep on a corner of each other’s heart.”

Neil sighed and sank on deep thought.After sometime he told,”Zola,I have no right to call you my love.But let me call you for last time.Zola,my love !You may be far away from me.But there will remain a special place for you in my heart forever.We can not turn the time or change the destiny.I promise you not to disturb you ever.We have to try hard to love our spouse.They are innocent.We are not made for each other.Today I officially breaking up all the relationship with you.”He took her hand and kissed on it and left.Zola sat there like a statue.After half an hour her phone rang.It was Aurthur.”Where are you dear.You wait there .We are coming.Today we are going to Amusement park.””Mumma we are coming.”Zeff told excitedly.She smiled.Aurthur knew how to cheer up her.She raised and went near the entrance of the restaurant.After five minutes she saw Aurthur and her two sons waving from their car.She smiled and started a new journey of her life.
