He broke off a 10-year relationship in an instant. I don't know why, but I was just watching him go. That day's events changed my life so much. I left that city, hoping to transcend the memories. But six months have passed, and even after that, his memories haven't left me. Today, I'm going back to my city, where I left everything behind. My best friend's wedding is today. I had to go, otherwise, I no longer had any special attachment to that city. I was hoping to meet him there, but I didn't meet him, but his sister. I didn't know if I should talk to her. I was very upset, but his sister came to me and told me something that blew me away. She told me that her brother had told her the last time she met him, that whenever you meet him, you have something very precious that you have to give him into his hands. Which I couldn't give him. Holding my hand, his sister brought me to his house. I couldn't understand anything. I just watched everything silently. I asked Nidhi, "Nidhi, why have you brought me here? What's happened?" She answered my questions. Along with the answer, she handed me a wooden box, a little heavy. As she handed it to me, she told me, "Brother, he's no longer in this world. The day he broke up with you, he had to be admitted to the hospital. He had blood cancer, which was in its last stages. After much effort, the doctors managed to keep him alive for three months. In his last moments, he gave me this box, and it's my responsibility to give it to you." Nidhi's words took my breath away. I was like a stone, unable to think or understand anything. I was angry with myself. When he was leaving me, why did I try to talk to him one more time? Why didn't I go after him? How did I ever believe he wanted to break up with me? Taking that box, I left Nidhi's house and came back to my room. With a burden on my heart, I kept looking at that box for hours. I was not able to muster the courage to open it. Tears were just falling from my eyes. My heart was just broken and scattered like glass. I was hating myself now but I could not do anything because I had lost everything.
Finally, mustering up the courage, I opened the box. What I saw inside made me feel completely lost. It was filled with memories of our ten-year relationship. The box contained my lost earring, all the chocolate wrappers I'd given him, dried roses, a handkerchief, some books, a ring I'd given him, and a lost ring, some love letters, and a bunch of keys. It also contained my dupatta. I remember one time I went to a temple with him, my dupatta had burned a little, and I decided to throw it away. After I threw it away, I don't know why, he picked it up and put it in his box of memories. He had kept our ten-year relationship alive in a wooden box. Along with this, I also received a letter which read,
"I know you'll be very upset after learning the truth, but I want you to end this phase of your life with a smile. I want you to find happiness for yourself. Yes, I wanted to be with you, but after seeing my health report, it was very difficult for me to make the decision to separate from you. I hope you'll feel a little sad when you open this and read it, but listen, promise me that you'll live your life with a smile after this. Promise me that you'll keep me in your good memories and always smile. And listen, don't think that if I'm not with you, you can break your promise. I will shine like a star in the sky and keep looking at you, yes, I will always keep looking at you."
I was speechless after reading this letter. Tears wouldn't stop flowing from my eyes, and it was very difficult to express the pain in my heart. I stared at those things all night, but as I promised him, I would always keep him in my good memories, and because he was watching me, I would keep smiling. It became a habit for me to go up to the terrace every night, look at the stars, and just smile. Yes, I do feel a little sad, but now I can feel him near me. He is a very beautiful part of my memories. These 10 years of my life are a part of my entire life. In fact, these 10 years are my life.......!!!
