THE LETTER

 

Well all of us at one time have been involved in a relationship with a “special” person… we all have our own definitions of love… but all of us understand that love is an enigma…. It cannot be defined or placed in words… it makes u cry n laugh… it makes u insane… All of us have had atleast some experience of writing a love letter… in my case I used to sneak n read my friend’s letters… silly me…. But I guess I was younger n immature then… anyways leaving my stupidness aside… Today I really want to share something, which I had never expected that I would share to anyone, but I believe that maybe someone might find it helpful… Anyways the letter below is something that I have picked up from the numerous forwards, which I usually get from friends who are too lazy to type a letter… Yeah but this one had a catch… send it to 10 people n your love life is ruined… man! If only I had a love life… don’t worry this stuff is not cursed… chek it out n no need to send it to anyone…

 

Dear Bryce,

 

How are you?? I believe that you are leading a wonderful life… free from all your tensions of the past. I can imagine that you may be so shocked to see a letter from me… after all you had thought that we had buried the past and now it has no reason to haunt you. Do you remember the time we had met??? It was around 7 years ago… I still giggle at the memories. You worked at my uncle’s law firm…. A charming, handsome assistant n I had just graduated… you had charmed me all over with your old worldly manners and we had ended up meeting each other quite frequently… Our friendship was too quick… almost as if it had been carefully planned and methodically thought of… So anyways as the saying goes… love is blind… n here I was madly in love with you in a matter of weeks!!! You had won my heart… n the day you told me that u loved me… it was like a feeling of ecstacy… a feeling had not known… but surprisingly it was sweet… it made me come alive.

 

Well you had left home and my uncle’s firm in search of a better job and I had become like an Arabic wife… waiting her husband’s return… I received frequent letters n a call now and then… I realized that you were happy in your new world… but I was a bit surprised that you never asked me to join… not once… I waited for an invitation… I waited for 2 years… but the invitation never came… I realized that you had found someone new… someone far better and beautiful so I resigned myself to my fate…. My uncle brought home many suitable suitors… and a perfect one was chosen for me… I didn’t want to marry but there was no use fighting… after all, the one person I really loved… wasn’t bothered about me… so why should I? I was silly, young n foolish but anyways… I called you and I told u…”Bryce I am getting married in few weeks…”. I heard your voice… there was firstly a painful silence… and then u spoke “I am so happy for u… may you get every happiness in the world”. Not even now, you stopped me… it was as if the memories we shared had never happened; as if our love had never existed… it was just wiped off in a second. I was too proud to mention my love and I guess you were too preoccupied to mention yours.

 

Years passed and I lost touch with you. I heard that you had finally married and had settled into a luxurious life of your own. I never forgave you but I want to know Bryce… I want to know why did you do this?? Was I just a toy?? I have enclosed my address and I expect a reply… you may wonder y that after so many years I ask you for an explanation… becoz bryce… I am on my deathbed… and I don’t want to leave this world without knowing the truth.

 

Susan,

 

Well guys, that’s the letter… Guess wat.. Susan never got her reply and it is said that the last word she said on her deathbed was”Bryce”. Well Bryce didn’t get the letter either… he had died of lung cancer a year later after Susan got married… You see, his end was approaching and that was the reason he had never asked Susan to marry him… he loved her too much to let her go through the pain… The rumours that he was happily married that Susan had heard… had been Bryce’s last request to his friends… He did not want Susan to know anything about his death… He wanted to let her believe that he had never loved her… bcoz the truth would have hurt her more than the lie did. Ironically even Susan died of lung cancer.

 

So well I guess this story may be true or maybe imaginative… maybe Bryce and Susan existed or maybe they were just mere passing thoughts but I do hope it touched your heart as it touched mine.
