He was waiting for her at their usual hangout. But today it was different. She was no longer his employee and he was no longer her boss. All the formalities were struck out.
They had been the best of friends for the last ten years. All of a sudden, he felt as if his world was turning topsy turvy.
She reached for his hand, held it firmly and said, "Dont look so sad...You never know, I might change my mind!!"
He held her hand in return. "I love you, Tanya. Have felt this way for long but never had the guts to confess.... Is that good enough for you to change your mind?"
SHE FOUND HERSELF AT CROSSROADS AGAIN....

ReplyDeleteI seriously felt that constraining this time Gaurav....there was so much more I wanted to express in this story!! Thanks for your appreciation!!
DeleteOh-oh! She is at crossroads indeed! Hope she makes the right decision!
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing for #FridayFotoFiction
It’s exciting to think about that...thanks for the super prompt!!
Deleteah that was a lovely take on the prompt- tricky never easy
ReplyDeleteYes Akshata, tricky indeed!! Thanks for stopping by..
DeleteThings left unsaid till last minute can turn so many lives upside down. I wish he hadn't waited till it was too late
ReplyDeleteVery true...wonder why people don’t express their feelings. Thanks for your support Gayatri!!
DeleteWonderful short story. It took ten years to express his feelings! Probably life would have been different if he had said earlier .
ReplyDeleteProbably the thought of her leaving made him insecure..thanks for your appreciation Sudha!!
DeleteHow I wish, he joins her at Paris and they hit off together! Let her cross over the cross road with him and not stop by!
ReplyDeleteA pragmatic tale Prasanna...

That could be one good way to take the story ahead....one of the roads to take. Thank you for your kind words Anagha!!
ReplyDeleteThis can turn out to be a beautiful short story. But, I would want Tanya to pursue her dreams in the end while her partner waits for her. Why always do we find women at crossroads esp, between their career and love life. If you happen to continue the story, do let me know. :) Cheers!
