Curtains Fall!

My heart retorted, my breath fell short, I clutched the bed sheets, my mind scurried all over the place trying relentlessly to absorb all that had transpired in the last 2 years. The clouds outside were pouring down mercilessly amid the dark, venomous night. Thunders rumbled startling me almost every time. They felt as little explosions, painting the canvas of the night sky. I camouflaged under my blanket and seized my chest and my eyes bled rain! Whom could I confide into, with whom could I let it all out. I lay low all by myself with my heart aching, looking into that 5 inch piece of gadget that I possessed. My finger trembled while typing the texts. She was breaking up with me. In a blink of an eye, it felt as if all the doors of my life were slammed right at my face. I felt the walls of the room contracting towards me, encapsulating me, with an intention to engulf me. I was numb! All I knew at that moment was I was losing out on my life. I felt myself giving away at an anvil as if a sword or hammer would just come down at me any moment taking away my head with it! My parents were fast asleep in the room right next to mine, probably tired and satisfied after toiling hard all day at their respective workplaces. The clouds roared again and the tempest turned more violent and satanic. I just wanted to see her, tell her that it ain't over yet, that no matter what happened between us; this is not where our story ends. Tears, like rain spilled out of my eyes. She was sure about putting an end to all of it - the relationship, me, our memories, the promises we both made to each other, everything that connected us! With every text we exchanged, I was beginning to fall apart bit by bit, speck by speck! I begged her for a reason, anything which could justify why we were doing this to ourselves! It just took her a text to sum it all up!

“I dnt luv u! U were a mistake. I was jst playing with ur emotions!”

The very next moment, I felt something break! My heart snapped just like a mirror would after enduring a big heavy blow! The lump that was building in the throat from the last one hour had reached it's crescendo! I was stunned, shattered, and speechless, all at one. The lump had gripped my throat and I struggled to breathe, gasping for air! I don’t know what hormones got the better of me as a sharp pain surged up my heart, visible on my face. It was then I came to know that it all had come to an end, that she had made her decision, that she had just passed that knife through my chest making a slit which would take a lifetime to recover. She had just cursed me with a pain I could never get rid off! She had just called 'curtains'!
