He heard his mom calling him again from downstairs. He knows
everyone is expecting him in the hall but he couldn't move. He knows he needs to be there, after all it's his BIG DAY...His wedding..... He checked his mobile
phone again. He couldn't delete the mail he just got. He closed his eyes.

Hey sweets,
What’s up? I know you don’t want my messages or mails. I don’t
know your number so this is the only way I have. I am not expecting a reply
from you. I never intruded in your decisions and this time also I respect it.
You know, there is that cute boy joined my office. I thought of taking him out
for coffee but couldn’t approach. Saw your picture on Facebook on other day.
Loved your t-shirt. Green suits you even though you hate it :-). Who was the girl with
you? Is she the one you are dating now? You were surrounded by girls in some of
the pictures. Never saw you like that so…… You know I almost cried... Well, No
I did not. I am stronger than that.
After you left, I started working more. My event management
company is now looking up. I know, you used to be the pragmatic one and I was
always the emotional fool. And see, finally you made the fool of me. Never
thought you will get married to any girl one day? Always thought, you could
stand tall facing everything, every criticism on your way. Always thought, one
day you will come back to surprise me again just like the old time…..
Saw your engagement pictures on Facebook, You were smiling.
Were you? Really? How does it feel to be with a girl?
Don’t you miss me? Don’t you miss my hands playing with your
hair. Don’t you miss our moments? Don’t you wear the blue shirt anymore? You
look hot in that shirt, Always ;) ...
Don’t you just wanna be with me? Would you call it off if I come in front of
you on your wedding day?
Love.
P.S- Don’t worry. I am not coming. I still replay the moment
we have shared. And also, I want to live again, collecting all the shattered
pieces for that. Have a happy married life.

He pressed the reply tab and then deleted it. He knows he
has lost his love – the only love of his life forever. He couldn't be
brave. He couldn't be a rebel. He accepted the
fate his family decided for him. He accepted the girl they have chosen for him. He couldn't protest. He just couldn't gather his courage to do so......Because....
Homosexuality is still a crime....
