As he saw her pack her bags with their memories. He felt in his heart that this was love. Love which would help them stay together come what may. He looked into her eyes and he saw hope. He walked towards her and said, ' Don't worry darling, Life is a long journey and this is just the part where we both take a separate vacation'. She hugged him and sobbed. He understood. Its tough to let go after all that they had been through. She was not strong like him. She worried about them and their future. He knew he didn't have to worry. Love would conquer all, right? It brought them this far...
He held her close and told her to relax. Told her that she needed to be strong. Soon, the crying was getting uncontrollable. He got irritated. what was the big deal? One year of being away and then she was to come back. Come back so that they could be together and start their new lives. It was all fixed. What was she so worried about? She was just being dramatic. She usually was.Imagining situations that were unrealistic. He started yelling. Told her to get a hold of herself. She was just causing a scene after all. He scathingly told her that she was being nothing but a fool.
They were at the airport. Her parents were there. They said their good-byes, her father wiped his tears. Again, the drama, he thought, exasperated with all this. Finally she turned to him. He smiled at her, hoping to cheer her up and as he hugged her to say good-bye, he realized that the face he got so used to seeing wouldn't be around. He held her tight and smelled the perfume in her hair. Looked in to her tear-stained eyes which used to be filled with mischief and suddenly realized something else.
She was leaving him. She had left him a long time ago. The look in her eyes showed him someone else. Some who was tired and lifeless. Someone who was fed up with him and all that he had done to her. He hugged her that one last time and he let go; Because as it was in the beginning, Love did conquer all. Even the pain of not being together anymore.
They climbed one mountain together but while he chose to stay to enjoy the view, he let her go so that she could find a better one
