Heartless..
1126 Words
Tears rolling down her cheeks, Sarah kept walking for about half an hour , oblivious of her surroundings. Her legs were hurting as she wore high heeled stilettos. She sat on a roadside bench and opened her shoes. Examining her swollen feet , she realized that she wont be able to walk further. She booked a cab, and waited on the lonely streets of Boston. The pain she felt emotionally made her forget about all other worldly dangers.
Fortunately she didn't have to wait too long. Her cab arrived within the next 10 minutes.
Grabbing her shoes and purse , she walked bare foot to the cab. The driver was a middle aged pleasant looking man , who gave a warm smile to her.
She returned him a sad smile. He started the car and Sarah rested her head on the backseat and looked at the full moon that lighted up the dark sky but it failed to illuminate the darkness that had clouded her heart.
"Why God? Why? Why did you make me fall in love with a heartless man? God" she cursed herself and God in bitterness.
"All my life I thought Anthony was an arrogant man but how wrong I was. He is a heartless man. No matter how much I love him, he is not going to feel anything for me. This is not what his parents had made him, this is what he had chosen for himself. A heartless man " She continuously kept on weeping until she could cry no more.
Seeing her sobbing from the rear view mirror , the cab driver played a soft instrumental number, which helped to soothe Sarah a bit.
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. She felt broken, her heart suddenly felt empty, she could no longer feel any emotions.
After 40 minutes of drive, the car came to a halt as they reached the destination. Sarah woke up at the sudden halt. She paid the driver and got down.
The cab driver wished her good night but she just returned him a smile. She walked through the garden and stood there looking at the beautiful view.
Had it been a normal day , the view would have soothed her but now she felt as if she is standing on an unknown land. "His house, his property" she reminded herself.
She rang the door bell and a happy looking Bianca opened the door. But soon her joyous face turned into a worried one, as she looked down at Sarah's disheveled look.
"Hey Sarah, what's happened to you? Are you fine? Where is Anthony?" Bianca asked worriedly as she could not see Anthony accompanying her.
Sarah walked passed her and spoke without any emotions "Migraine. Am having a migraine . I want to sleep. I left Anthony."
" What ?" Bianca asked grabbing her sister by the shoulders. The jerk made Sarah come out of her trance and immediately she covered up " I mean I left him to enjoy. Today is his big day. He won the award and I didn't want to bother him, so I came alone."
"Oh. OK" Bianca sighed relieved at Sarah's words. Whatever Sarah felt, she would never show it on her face.She doesn't like spreading sadness to others so whenever she was troubled or upset, she would keep it wrapped inside her heart.
"Hey by the way ,I got a call today from Arizona State University. And guess what? Your sister got selected, babes." Bianca told her with a big smile.
Forgetting about her sadness, Sarah hugged her and kissed her. " O my little baby. You made me proud girl". Sarah's eyes were teary again but this time it was because of happiness.
"And by the way, I am going back home tomorrow early morning. I have to wrap things up back at home before moving to Arizona." Bianca informed.
"Oh" Sarah said. A part of her relieved that Bianca would no longer be cursed by Anthony.
Looking at Bianca's happy face , Sarah again hugged her and cried. "My poor baby, she doesn't even know she is being cursed by a person whom she respects so much" Sarah thought.
Whereas Bianca thought that Sarah was crying because she will be missing her. She hugged Sarah back and consoled her " c*m-on Sarah, stop acting like a mother. Even mom wouldn't cry when I finally move out."
"Oh today I bought a small gift for you and your husband." Bianca said and drew a Tiffany box from her pockets.
Sarah opened the box and found a beautiful platinum pair of couple's rings. Sarah's jaw dropped at the expensive gift and asked her "From where you got the money? Did you ask mom for this?"
"Sarah c*m on you know I get pocket money right? Besides I worked as a part time cashier in a departmental store. I had saved for this. I was not able to get you a wedding gift at that time, so here it is" Bianca explained.
Sarah felt as if her heart would stop beating . At one hand her sister was giving her a wedding gift and on the other hand there was Anthony who had insulted her love and her sister. She became even more angry on Anthony. She wanted to grab Bianca and run away from Anthony's house, from his estate, from his city, from him, immediately. But she can't act in an irrational manner. She composed herself taking a deep breathe and spoke "Thank you so much baby. Its very pretty. Anthony will love it."
"OK lets go and sleep. I will sleep with you today" Sarah informed.
" With me,why ?" Bianca asked with an innocent voice.
"Well, so that you can give me a head massage" Sarah winked.
"Youu. You are impossible" Bianca said with a pout.
Sarah quickly changed her dress in the bedroom that she thought belonged to her but in reality it belonged to the owner of the house, Anthony. Suddenly everything seemed to be foreign to her. The room, the bed, whole house gave her a feeling of in- hospitality.
After changing into her night suit she quickly rushed to the guest room, as if she was being haunted and climbed on the bed beside Bianca.
Bianca unaware of her sister's feelings, laughed at Sarah, rushing in like a small kid "Chill I am still here. OK now close your eyes and relax. Let me give you a good head massage ." She poured two drops of lavender oil on her palm and rubbed it , and started massaging Sarah's forehead with it.
Every one of us has that someone who hurts our heart so much that it changed us forever.
