"Listen baby, I will be away from you for next 6 month moving to various places..these will be the best send off gift for me." He messaged.

"We love each other and for sure I can trust him..moreover 6 months is too much of  time to be away..I should send to him", She thought and clicked the send button on WhatsApp to send "exclusive" selfies and videos she captured for him.

Hardly she knew that her trust will be broken and in few days her pics/videos became viral on social media.

"Do you still love me?" He asked after 3 years of break up.

"No" she replied. 

But his dried rose in her diary,  wrappers of chocolates given by him in her table drawer and numerous pics of their precious moments saved in her laptop archive were telling a different story.

#microtale
----------------------------------------------------------------
3.

She: Yes Mom I had my dinner..now let me prepare for Monday Test..goodnight.

She cut the call. Another bottle of beer opened. Another round of fags started. Another weekend she is spending with her boyfriend.

Another sneak out built on lies..which she considered as perks for staying miles away in the name of "Higher Studies".

In the mean time her Mother lit another candle in front of her Father's photo thanking God for "everything".

Friend: What hurts most?

She: Seeing that "special person" going down and down in the chat list everyday,  becoming friend to acquaintance, WhatsApp connection without DP, regular Instagram person without  being getting tagged, just another number in contact list, becoming chapters with memories in my diary, just uncountable storage of screenshot of chats and private pics in my laptop. That's it.

#microtale

Therapist: You know that every single cell in our body gets replaced with new one in every 7 years.

She: That's comforting Doc, it means in few years I will have a body which he has never touched.

Therapist smiled.

She smiled and closed her eyes.

5.
He tried a lot.. kept texting, asking her whereabouts, her well being, her choice of career path etc.
He never thought he was not family.

Her ignoring him and being taking him for granted proved him wrong.

Outsider will always be an outsider..he finally started believing...as a step brother.

He: So, how is married life?

She: It's fine..though I miss the thrill sometimes..and the 'fun'.

He: You can get the thrill n fun back..just use the power of internet..heard of long distance relationships na..let's have it..but no strings attached.

She: Yess..let's have it..no strings attached.

This was the beginning of the end of a relationship.
