The Love Bite

I sat speechless on the floor, watching him go. I longed for him to look at me. I still held onto the hope that maybe he would fall in love, but he didn't look back even once. I'm not much of a cook, but he was very special to me, so I'd made his favorite vanilla-flavored butter cookies, filled with the sweetness of raisins and love. But now my hard work was scattered on the floor. I'd lovingly placed a beautiful red rose among white daisies. I'd made a bouquet of flowers with my own hands, and not only my hard work, but my love was also scattered on the floor. My eyes were only staring at him. Honestly, at that moment, my eyes couldn't bear the weight of the tears that welled up in my eyes. Not only did the scattered things around me seem the same, but my dreams and my love, along with my heart, were shattered. Everyone has a dream that can never be fulfilled, floating in the sky. It's like a fish looking at the stars in the ocean. Perhaps I too have a similar dream of spending my life with him. I decided I wouldn't work there anymore because seeing him every day was becoming increasingly difficult. That night, on my way home, I responded to my boss's text and resigned. I was looking for a new job and a new life, but despite all this, forgetting him wasn't easy. Missing him daily had become a part of my daily routine. After some time, I received a call for a job, but it required me to move to another city. It was as if getting rid of my memories had become my sole purpose, and I agreed. Running away from my memories, I left my city and my beautiful memories behind and moved to another city, but there I realized that perhaps, along with my belongings, I had also brought a box of his memories with me. It was my first day at the office. I met new people and new faces. Everyone I worked with was very nice. After a few months, I realized that old wounds often leave scars because I wasn't feeling as connected to people. Our team had a favorite office boy, Raghav. He was special not only to the girls who worked with us, but also to the boys. Whenever I felt lonely, he would come to me and give me a reason to smile. I loved talking to him too, but I could see something different in his eyes. I don't know why, but I started to feel that he didn't care for me as just a friend. I was very confused, struggling with work pressure and many other problems, when Raghav told me that everyone in the office was going out for dinner together today. It was the last day of the month, so you should come with us. I told him, "No, I have a lot of work to do, and then I'll finish it and go home. You all have fun." After refusing once, after a few moments of silence, he asked me to come with him. His repeated requests irritated me and I became angry. I yelled at him, "I don't want to go with you guys." My loud voice drew everyone's attention to us, so Raghav left without a word.I packed my things and headed home, but I was still regretting my actions. I felt bad. I considered calling him and saying sorry, but couldn't muster the courage. I decided to text him, but I couldn't do that either. As soon as I woke up in the morning, I decided that no matter what, I would apologize to him. I went to the office and found out that Raghav wouldn't be coming to work that day. A coworker came up to me and said, "Maybe you're upset. Maybe Raghav shouldn't have insisted. But it wasn't right for you to yell at him like that." He told me that after the breakup, you were the first person to talk to him like that. Everyone in the office wanted you two to get back together because we had seen Raghav smile like that after so many years. Hearing his words broke my heart. After he left, I sat down in my chair and reflected on the past. After all, love can weaken a person, but it's love that becomes their strength. I didn't know what I was feeling, but now I felt terrible about my behavior with Raghav. I couldn't help myself, I took leave and just wanted to go to his house. I stood in front of his house, wondering whether to answer the door or not. I was lost in my own thoughts. Then, gathering courage, I finally rang the doorbell. Raghav opened the door, and I thought he was unwell. His eyes widened with surprise when he saw me. He asked, "How are you here?" I replied, "I came to see you. I heard you wouldn't be coming to office today, so I thought I'd come to see you." He invited me in. I went in and saw everything scattered. I asked him, "What's wrong with you?" He said, "I'm sick, I can't clean, and who cares about me?" I could clearly hear the sarcasm about last night's accident in his words, but his words made me laugh. I touched his forehead. He had a high fever. I asked her, "Did you take your medicine?" She said, "No, I just woke up a while ago, I haven't eaten anything." I asked her, "Tell me, what would you like to eat? I'll make it." She replied, "I feel like eating something sweet." I said, "Okay, I'll make it right away." She showed me the kitchen and stood at the kitchen door, watching me. I couldn't decide what to make for her. I decided to make the same vanilla-flavored butter cookies I had made earlier. I placed them on a serving plate and gave her the cookies and hot milk. Seeing the cookies, Raghav said, "These look delicious. I didn't know you could cook so well." " After taking a bite, he said, "Are you trying to make me sick?" I was shocked. I took the cookies from his hands and asked, "Aren't these good?" "What happened?" Before he could say anything, I ate them. They tasted good, so why did you say that? He was just looking at me. I asked him again, "What happened?" He said, "You ate my leftovers." While taking care of him, I didn't realize I had eaten his leftovers. I told him, "You should take your medicine." I'm leaving. I have a lot of work to do. I just wanted to leave his house. He took my hand and said, "Listen, I like you so much, I love you so much, I want to spend my life with you, I want to smile with you for no reason, I want to walk every journey of my life holding your hand, you're a dream I want to fulfill." I was just listening to him, not knowing how to react, but I had to. We were talking well, he told me that you are like the shining stars in the ocean for me, I want to fulfill this dream of mine, today I was seeing my old self in Raghav, I was speechless, he held my hand and pulled me towards him and hugged me, I don't know what emotions were surging inside me but whatever it was, I was liking it....!!  

    Love is probably something like this, many strange dreams also come true in love, sometimes we get something much better, that is why we move on from the old things and move towards new things, I believe that whatever we have got is very special and that is right for us.The same butter cookies that broke my heart have given me a reason to smile from the heart.......!!!!❤️
