11. “Two Birds… Two Ways”

11. “Two Birds… Two Ways”

(…to be continued…)

Their college journey passed in a blink,
Why did time make them cry, I think?

Two little birds flew far apart,
In different ways, with hope in heart.

They dreamed someday their paths would meet,
On busy roads or quiet streets.

City roads or life’s long lane,
They walked one way, not thinking of pain.

Then time suddenly changed its side,
For training, Nil had to move statewide.

Overnight his SIM just failed,
The same number where Niki prevailed.

How could he say to anyone near,
That someone’s memory stayed so dear?

Even in noise, a voice he’d hear,
Soft and close, yet nowhere near.

Old emails too went unchecked that day,
Somehow fate took the link away.

He waited for the moment right,
When her number would come to light.

But after hearing Niki’s scolding tone,
Making up felt hard …he stood alone.
