I failed, but still I won

At last, Arvind had grained enough courage to tell it to her. He rang the phone to her. ‘Akon onek raat tomar kadhe amar nischish ami beche achi tomar bhalobasa e’ this was the caller tune what he was listening to for last two months when he called her.

“Hullllllooooo”, said from the other end.

“Am I speaking to my monkey?????”

“Yes”, Aditi said with a blushing smile.

“Can you please meet me tomorrow. I have something to tell you.”, said Arvind with a cracking voice.

“Yes, of course, but promise me you will come to take me from home”, said Aditi with a blushing smile.

“Yes… so meet you tomorrow. I have to go for dinner. Bye. Love You”, after that Arvind ended the call.

Aditi was little confused because the way Arvind ended the call. They had a relationship of 8 months, but this was the first time Arvind had talked to her like this.

For the first time Arvind ended the call with a lie. For the last two months they had fights and for this reason he could not sleep well. It was now becoming a toxic relationship and now it was the time to end it. Moreover, Arvind also thought that her feeling was also changing.

The day came, he went to her house. For the first time he went her house, so she requested him to came inside the house requesting him a glass of water. 

“For the last time I am accepting her request.”  

After walking for quite a minute, she wanted to go to washroom, so she quickly gave her purse and phone to Arvind and went to the nearest public washroom.

Suddenly her phone rang, Arvind saw the name it was written ‘My Lifeline’.

“That means she was cheating on me.”

A thunderstorm passed his heart and thought as soon as she came, he would tell about break up and he would not have any regret for it. He thanked God for showing him the truth.

He picked up the call to know the boy’s actual name.

“Didi, the person who came to take you this morning had forgotten his phone. I am calling you from his phone.”, said from the other end.

He remembered that he had kept his phone on the table while drinking.

“Your Didi has gone to the washroom and thanks for the information. I will call you later.”, said Arvind and ended the call.

This answer surrounded him with complete silence. Was he going to do it right what he had planned off? He couldn’t find any answer to his own question.

In the meanwhile, she came from behind and kept her hand on his shoulder. He turned back.

“I want to tell you something before you tell me something. I am sorry. I know I fight with you a lot and sometimes it hurts you. I want to tell you the reason for such kind of behavior. As you know, two months ago I have changed my school and it was completely new to my surroundings. Whenever I get frustrated, I put all my frustration on my friends and they ignored it because they know my mood from childhood. In this new surrounding I don’t have any such friends, so all my frustration went with you because I always thought you understood my mood. But last day I realized that after all you are not god so you can also get hurt by my behavior. And last but not the least in the beginning of my teenage life I used to think more the flights, more the love increases.”, said she with a laughing ending.

“She is so innocent. For the first time my success lies in my own failure.”
