The Boundaries of Love

The Countdown Begins

One day left for her birthday, and I need to do something more than a wish. I wanted to visit her and surprise her by wishing her with some gift. Maybe, this was going to be the last time I try to make her understand my feelings of love and care towards her. Somewhere my heart knew that all these efforts are going to be in vain. Someone was there in her life with whom she shares a much stronger bond then me. I told you I was a terrible stalker. I even used to stalk her on Truecaller. I never called her while there was a red dot in front of her name saying "on a call." I waited for the dot's color to turn green, but the talks were long.

Meanwhile, I started planning to make a poetry video featuring her. I collected a lot of her pictures and videos from i********: and handpicked the most suited photos that fit the lines of my poetry on her. This poetry video turned out to be the best creation of mine. I uploaded the video on my Youtube and scheduled it to publish five minutes before her birthday.

Only 10 minutes left for her to turn 21. I closed my eyes, and then I was able to have a better look at the thoughts running on my mind. All the memories of her were on my mind. From the first time I saw her to the last time, I saw her recently. In all the memories of her, she was the most beautiful and calming view my eyes ever saw, and my heart ever felt. I won't deny the fact that she isn't the most beautiful girl out in this world. But what I reject is that any other girl made me felt the way she always does, Beautiful.

Just 5 minutes left, and I was still in a dilemma of whether to call her or not. I dropped the idea of making a wish on the call since I'll not make it on time here too. I started typing a long birthday message which had a plethora of my feelings wrapped in it in one or other form of abstraction in words. I was aware of the fact that those feelings will always remain unwrapped under those words. She won't be able to read through the lines that I wanted to say. It was about time, and just one minute was left for the clock to hit 00:00. I quickly went to the Youtube copied the link of the scheduled video, which was private so that only those with the video link would be able to watch it. I switched back to w******p, and as the 59 second was on the clock, I pressed the send button and then copy-pasted the video link and again hit the send button.

I felt so light after doing it all. It was like a ticker of a time bomb on my head. The stalker in me reached the TrueCaller app and again found the red dot. My instincts never fail me except for the time I had to guess the questions that will come in the exam. I was so tired that I went off to sleep, thinking about how will she feel about the video and all.
