It was all doomed and we were apart.Years of togetherness often falls with odd rhythm of monotony . Days had rolled on like slipping sand from hand clenched fist and it still felt like we were together the last time clock hands broke the silence .
You can't ignore girdle of sounds around you when you are "alone", even the sound of distant twinkling stars feels audible. Those big promises once sculpt beautifully had drowned in alphabets and what remained was an air of melancholy.
The clock had struck half past one and my quarter sleep had elapsed at dead of night when my cell beeped. Until i could reach to pick it up ,zillions of thoughts had advanced on my mind.
"Today the anklet broke by itself" ,
cognate with my heart beats a message from her popped in the notification bar. The anklet broke!. How could it for I had walked miles to buy it from the last few bucks i had saved to buy that big dial watch I always wanted to and hiding it for odd 9 days from my genesis.
Oh! it broke.
I had no reason. May be either one of us had been wrong while we were away these days. May be we stretched the life in a life too much , call it expectancy or desire. May be "Maktub".Thousand of thoughts were hitting my mind the way tide hits the shore with a hefty thwack and still I had no clue why anklet broke.
All i could text her after couple of hours was , " it's unknown omen" and i managed to escape away the dead of night.
There are no reason why twinkling stars in the sky get old and fall one odd day and what we wish is a wish from a broken star.
