Crossroads



It was her last day in Mumbai. After landing a plum post at a designer label in Paris, she was all set to start a fresh chapter of her life.

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....

  5. Wonderful short story. It took ten years to express his feelings! Probably life would have been different if he had said earlier .

  8. This 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!
