It was the day, like everyday, when she thought about the moment she lived with him. Her mind was clouded with his thoughts, as she walked on that crowded street. Her heart skipped a beat as she got a look of him. Steering through the crowd, his face stood out. Smiling and happy with someone who appeared to be his new found love.
That moment brutally killed her pretensions, she chose to walk on her way, without letting an iota of her pain show up on her face.
When they passed by, she did not look at him. When they passed by, he called her name. When they passed by was the moment when she did not listen to him.
She cremated her pretensions and finally gave up thinking about him.
Author's Note: Many a time we pretend to care, or pretend to not care. Some encounters help in getting us out of a pretentious mode.
P.S.: This is a fiction to capture that sometimes we pretend, but the emotions behind those pretensions.
P.P.S: When was the last time you pretended? Do share it if you wish to.

ReplyDeleteP for Petrified-Random Thoughts Naba
It is good to smile anyway, even if it is pretentious.
DeleteSuch moments are very necessary I guess. She's lucky I would say.
ReplyDeleteYes. There are times when we dread such moments, but such encounters are necessary. :)

Yes. I agree we all do it at some point or other.
DeleteLovely story and good choice of word for P.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteIt's important to pretend at times to show you're not vulnerable or weak. Pretentious may not only be for the bad all the time. Nice story by the way. I think in motion pictures while reading your posts!
ReplyDelete("o) That is a big compliment.
