Friday Fiction #1

"You had gone to meet Raathi", he asked as she kept the car keys on the table.

"Hmm...", she just hummed instead of giving any definite answer.

"So, you want divorce. Is that the reason why you had gone to see him?" He probed her further with a sarcastic smile. "Don't forget. He is my friend, first and then a lawyer." He added.

"....*sigh*...I don't want to divorce you....Juss want to free you from ME." She replied with a choked and tired voice.

"What will you do after that?". He asked as he sipped his drink from the glass without shifting his gaze from her. Just then his phone rang. She knew it was her.

"Hi! Love, I will call you back in a minute." He answered hurriedly with a smile.

Her heart wrenched in pain as she heard him address Her as 'love'. She glanced at him with tearful eyes and left without answering his question. She shut the door behind her. She wanted him to stop her but she knew he wouldn't. She hoped, hoped badly for him to barge into the room and draw her into his arms. Kiss her madly and say, "I am sorry. It was a mistake, it won't happen again. It was all a mistake." But nothing of that sort happened. She was so right about him but for once she hoped to be wronged so badly.

P.S. My second attempt at writing fiction. I know am terrible in writing but just gave it a another shot. Hope its not complete crap and makes some sense. Couldn't think of an apt title so haven't titled it. Suggestions are welcome.

I really Loved it! But there could have been a tinge of suspense there! But it was lovely!

Angel :) said...

A sincere attempt!

Anonymous Someone said...

You know, when people start writing fiction, fabulously, just like you did, it makes me a little jealous for the lack of creativity to write something that I have never seen or experienced.

It is a beautiful story...will it have an end?

ani_aset said...

thanks for the comment :) i shifted to silentlyexpress.wordpress.com

Shas said...

@buckingfastard,
Thanks! I tried to expand the story but somehow i couldn't proceed, it somehow got split into two. I couldn't linger much on it maybe because i was focusing on the intensity of the moment rather than on the plot.

Shas said...

@ The Aspirant,
Thanks for those encouraging words. Will try to make more such attempts :)

Shas said...

@ Sameera,
For the moment you can consider it as open-ended. Am writing the final part of it so there i will give a proper conclusion to it.

Shas said...

@ Nipun,
Thanks!

Shas said...

Shas said...

Thanks! n its nice to see you here after a long time :)

Shas said...

@ Simply ashu,
Thanks friend for being so generous in your praise. Ya, am writing the final part of it. Hope i will be able to do justice to it.

Am glad you liked the template :)

Shas said...

@ Shruti,
Thanks! Ya, even i wanted to build up on suspense but somehow i got so caught up in trying to build up on the element of pain that somehow i could not focus on the element of suspense.

Shas said...

@ Angel,
Thanks!!

Shas said...

@ Anonymous Speaking,
Thankss! am feeling a bit funny as i had never thought that such a naive attempt would ever arouse jealousy in someone :)

Ya, it will have an end. Am working on the final part, if it will come out well then i will post it.

Shas said...

@ ani_set,
Thanks! Will try to work on it in my next piece :)

Shas said...

@ Rashmi,
Thanks! Now that i have managed to pass the test of fire, will consider writing more :D

Shas said...

@ Makk,
Thanks! for those awesome words. Hey! sorry (n no sorry...lolzz) had been really busy so couldn't check out your previous posts. Will do so when i get the time :)

Shas said...

Aswin Ram said...

is this fiction? things like this happens always at my neighbors house( ;-) )...nice post...

Cinderella said...

This was definitely not bad at all for a first attempt. For me this is rather good. I am so incapable of writing fiction!

The Enduring Spirit said...

It's not bad at all! Infact it's short and hard hitting..the way I like it ! Good... Please Continue !

Bikramjit said...

Very good i would say.. but why wud she want him back.. i beleive once a liar always a liar.. no matter who.. she is better off without HIM.. and he can go to his on the side ..

just my views thats all.. the story is good though..

rainboy said...

not bad ...it was good.
continue this story...

will wait...

take care :)

Vinz said...

great attempt...
Liked it..

Following you...!!

Insignia said...

Wow!! Very nicely written. Emotions well captured.

Shas said...

@ Aswin Ram,
Well, there are times when life imitates fiction and vice-versa :)

Shas said...

@ Cinderella,
Thanks! Well i had a tough time writing this one as writing stories doesn't come easily to me also. Just give it a try maybe you can surprise yourself :)

Shas said...

@ The Enduring Spirit,
Thanks! for such a positive feedback. Hope am able to churn out a good one next time if not better.

Shas said...

@ Bikramjit,
Thanks! Ya, she should move on but somehow it is difficult for her as she is deeply and emotionally attached to him. The matters of the heart are so complicated.

Shas said...

@ rainboy,
Thanks! But now am getting a bit nervous as there is growing expectation for the next one. Hope i am able to pull it through.

Shas said...

@ Vinz,
Thanks for following me n welcome. Thanks a ton for taking the pain to read up my previous posts and comment on them, too. Hope you have a good time here.

Shas said...

@ Insignia,
Thanks!!

Brian Miller said...

one of the hardest things for writeres to do is end well...you bring it home nicely in this piece...wrapping it up wth a bow...keep at it...it only gets better.

Saibal Barman said...

Amidst dirty shades of experiences life still intensely searches for rhythm of sustenance...this feeling I adore...it is not a success or a failure that scripts the life, it scripts only how such success or failure strikes the chords of the conscious self to reveal new world of music within the soul !!
