Holding her wrinkled hand, he was silently observing her…Unconsciously drawing lines on her now swollen veins, he traveled back in time when they were 20-something and had just started dating…
“What if you get bored of me?!”, she would say cringing her forehead… “I would never”, he said feeling the most confident than ever…
Few years later when they were parting ways, they thought that was the end of their story… “I hope you never forget me”, she said misty eyed, bidding him farewell at the airport.. “In case I do, meet me on the other side of the world”, he said with a smirk!
50 years had gone by since then, they had moved on in life,Β built stone walls around them with the ruins of a broken relationship and a rock solid friendship…
Lying in the hospital bed, just hours before breaking that wall and crossing over, she opened her eyes for that one last time and said,
“See you on the other side, my friend!”
So many relations in life blur the line of life and death, and who knows, we may have truly found our soulmate for life and beyond! I have found mine… π

You mean a gateway to heaven? Well who am I to decide that… but we humans always look for closure… and that’s what this gives us… plus wishful thinking never hurt a fly π
