Broken and wounded.. thats how i am now.. lying on the floor.. waiting to be picked up and repaired. I am a silver coloured ladies wrist watch who once was the cynosure of all the eyes.. people admired me and my beloved owner Amritha is just as broken as i am now.. her pretty face swollen and the faint lines of dried tears visible.. how sorry I am for her.. it all started about 10 months ago..
I was in one of the busiest malls in the city.. inside a huge glass case along with my other cousins.. We are all called fast tracks..its a family name apparently. And my name is model: NB6015. It was a beautiful experience.. to just sit there and get all the admiring glances. I saw my cousins get picked up one by one.. pretty girls and handsome guys buying each of us to make their wrist look good.. I was waiting for someone to wear me.. I wanted to fulfil the purpose of my life and I was ready..And then came someone who wanted to see me.. I was led outside my glass house and given to someone.. a guy.." Why is he picking me up? I don't belong with him".. I thought to myself.. He held me in his hands not wearing me on his wrist.. and I sighed a relief.. and he said " I'll take this"..he looked handsome.. wore a black tee and jean.. tall fair and very good looking.. certainly an eye candy.. I was put into a little black box. I was able to hear everything in muffled tones.. "cash or card??" someone asked and the eye candy replied "cash.. could you wrap it please?" and "yes sir" came the reply.."Thank you, come again" and there I was in a plastic carry bag swaying.. i almost wanted to shout "hey eye candy watch it.. you're hurting me"..
The bike started and I was flying in the air.. it was fun.. the bike stopped and my heart started beating faster.I am gonna meet my destiny..I really hope I go to the right hands,the bike started again.. so I am not there yet.."are we late??" the eyecandy asked.."I don't think so.. we can make it."..well there was someone else.. another guy.." I got her a watch.. you got her something??" the eyecandy asked.."What? Karthik you got her a watch?? I have not got her anything.. seriously a watch..?? you certainly wanna impress her".. so my eyecandys name is Karthik.. nice name, nice looks.. I almost wanna start falling in love with him.. and then the bike stopped and this time it was my last stop.. Karthik carried me inside a house.. "Hi Anita where is she??" Karthik asked.. "Hey.. she is on her way.. go sit inside.. she still has no idea".. oh my.. whats going on.. I cant wait to see me destiny.. few minutes passed.. and everyone sang loudly.."Surprise!! Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Amritha.".. her name is Amritha.. wow..i love her name..and I didn't pay attention to the rest of the song.. my owners name is Amritha and I immediately fell in love with her.. I wanted to see her and make her wear me.. I was so nervous..
"Amritha.. Happy birthday.. " Karthik said.. and she said "Hey Karthik, so nice to see you.. thank you so much and hey nikhil.. thanks for coming. Both of you..have some cake.. I was really surprised.. you guys are the best"..and this girl Amritha kept talking and talking.. I found it unbelievable..
When are they gonna open me..I sighed. Hours later Amritha tore open my wrappings and opened me.. and my heart was in my mouth.. She opened the black box and held me in her hands and I looked at her.. completely mesmerised.. She was beautiful.. black beautiful hair.. big eyes.. nice lips and flawless complexion.. "yes!!" I exclaimed.. happiness covered me warm and nice..
The next few days were bliss.. Amritha wore me everywhere.. she showed me to everyone.. proudly telling them.. "Karthiks gift"..and all the girls were jealous.. "He certainly has a crush on u Amritha" one girl said.. "Are you people together ?" another friend asked and Amritha kept saying "No!we are just friends".
She wore me at all times and so I knew everything that was going on in her life.. the formal one or two minutes talks with Karthik got extended to hours and they went on dates often.. I remember that day very well.They were in a coffee shop.. ccd they call it and Amritha was as usual jabbering and karthik was half listening saying hmms and ohs all along.. suddenly karthik spoke out.." Amritha I love you.".. I was exhilarated..I wanted to do a somersault right on Amrithas wrist.. and I saw her sitting numb and frozen and a minute later she said.. "I love you too Karthik" looking at the floor..they were both blushing and no other exchange of words happened.. I sat there in exalted happiness.Karthik and Amritha kept looking at each other and at the floor alternatively for the rest of the evening and I was like "awkward" and rolled my eyes.. Eyes talk it seems..and hours later they left home smiling all along.. and the rest they say is history..
They met often and I was always with them... Amritha loved me..She often said to Karthik that it all started because of me.They met at the beach and in malls and at the movies.They were always happy.. laughing with each other..and yes they fought too..but they always made up.They held hands, my face rubbing against Karthiks jean and I dint even mind it.. I just wanted them to stay together, happy and in love.They told the whole world about them and everyone was happy.. " I told you so" most of them said.
Months passed and they started fighting more often.. Karthik was angry and Amritha was nagging.. but it was still evident that they belong with each other.
It has been 8 months since they got together and this was the worst fight.. I was at the dressing table nervously watching Amritha scream over the phone.. "It is definitely your fault.. admit it..".. "no karthik.. you the one who has become selfish"... "I am not gonna apologise again for a mistake you made..".. " I hate you Karthik.. just leave"..." Get lost Karthik..its over".. she threw her phone on her bed and cried loudly.. and she stood up and in one fit of rage picked me up and threw me on the floor... "Crack" broke my face and my body severely bruised..The pain was just unbearable.. and she sat on the floor next to me and cried..
Its been 15 mins.. we are still here on the floor ..broken and wounded.. she still loves him.. its so obvious.. I thought loudly hoping she would hear me.. " Amritha you still love him.. Think about all the happy days. He has made you so happy.. Dont move on.. Dont break up..Please." and almost as if she heard me she said to herself "I still love him".. she picked up her phone and spoke "Karthik am so sorry.. I love you. Am an idiot.. lets start over please..".. and I was like AWW!!.. and she suddenly said " What.. Karthik.. No.." and she giggled. She ran outside and opened the door.. and I could hear Karthiks voice..They came in together.. Amritha carrying a huge bouquet of roses.. and there they are.. happy and together.. the way they should be.. "My god.. the watch!!" Karthik exclaimed.. and stared at Amritha with a tiny grin.. " Am sorry.. am an idiot.. I broke my watch.." she said out loud and gave him a sad face..and she started jabbering again " I was so furious..what was I thinking.. Karthik your first gift.. Its so close to my heart..I wanted to keep it forever.. am so sorr.. " and even before she could finish karthik gave her a beautiful passionate kiss and told her."Come on.. I will get you another one"..and I skipped a beat.. what another one?? repair me people.. Why do they have service centers.. see.. am still ticking.. please dont do this to me.. Please.. and again as if Amritha heard me she said "This will always be special.. am gonna repair it" and gave a brief kiss on my cheek..Tears welled up in my eyes.. This is love.. It might be anyones mistake..yet forgive and forget and love them again.. give everyone another chance.. and most importantly..Dont Move on.. listen to a fast track watch itself say this..DONT MOVE ON..
And Amritha and Karthik lived happily ever after..
