A Silent "Waiter"
After 5 hours of long waiting near the station, Jenny felt a sharp pain in heart, with trembling hands she decided to call the person she is waiting for..
(Ringing)....No answer...
(Ringing)....still no answer..
Third time, he picked up the call..."Hello???"
"Hello Drake?? where are you? Why are you not showing up? You promised to come here right?? I...I really wanna see you...please..just this time.."
From the other side a deep voice answered, "Yes I promised to meet you one last time, but I don't wanna see you anymore...seeing your face will remind me of all the beautiful memories we had...I couldn't bear it anymore, I wish you find happiness with Paul..I wanna be happy with my life now.."
"Please Drake, just one last time.." The phone was disconnected from other side..
Standing hopeless and still Jenny looked at the sky, tears were falling down..she wanted to cry so bad but held that pain inside as there were people around...suddenly the phone rang..she looked at the screen with happiness in her eyes, hoping for Drake...but..
"Hello Jen??"
"Yeah Paul..."
"Are you with Drake??"
With a broken husky voice she replied, "No.....he didn't come".
"What?????? Don't tell me, you are still lying to him about us being in relationship?? Are you nuts?? Why don't you tell him about the truth?"
"No.. Paul, he won't be able to bear it..It's better for him to hate me..atleast he can move on with his life.."
"Don't kid with me Jen...why you should bear the hate when you are the one suffering with Leukemia???? why are you torturing yourself like this?? I...I can't see you like this...my heart aches for you...."
Paul's broken voice suddenly stopped....
"Silly boy!! Why you are crying when I am the one suffering with final stage Leukemia?? Don't you think its better for both of us...atleast he can move on with this disbelief & I can watch him peacefully from up there.."
"Just shut the hell up Jen!!! Nothing's gonna happen to you..tomorrow I will take you to the best oncologist for consultation..after that we would go for rapid treatment, then slowly you will recove-"
"Paul!!"
"Yes?? Why didn't you let me complete my sentence?"
"Paul!! I am sorry for everything...Sorry for troubling you..Sorry for making you cry, sorry for....making your heart broken.."
"Now why are you appologizing to me stupid?? Just go home and rest, let me take rest too.."
"Okay..take care....live well....keep my secret from him forever and don't think about me too much..."
"Why are you saying all these to me stupid?? Tomorrow I am gonna take you to hospital...."
Jenny disconnected the call and turned the phone off...
It's raining outside...she was slowly walking in rain..thinking that one of the blessings of rain is that it can hide all the tears and pain....
"Drake, for the last time I really wanted to see you..but atleast I heard your voice..if you had came today, I would have asked a hug from you..but atleast now you will be able to live peacefully....an orphan like me really don't have regrets anymore....
Sorry Paul...I have been always a nuisance to you.. but you are a true friend I ever had...sorry for leaving you suddenly...but let me leave in peace...hope you find your happiness too..."
Mumbling all this to herself she walked to the Heritage Bridge, which is also a famous spot for suicides....
While climbing the railing of bridge she threw her phone on the other side of bridge, before jumping in water she quietly mumbled-
"I will wait for you to call me someday.....Drake!!!!"
