promises and lies

It couldn't have happened again.
And it couldn't have happened to her again.
She felt like a fool.
Rather she was a fool.
On this beautiful evening , she stood at the Priya PVR feeling like an absolute fool.Stood up ...once again!
Annie is a smart girl ,also a sweet one ,she has a voice of her own and she has always been able to speak her mind.She has also been able to ask for her rights whether it was with her family or with her friends.She was always where the action was . Always popular and outspoken ,she fell in love the way she had always done everything ,totally and whole heartedly.

The guy she fell for was altogether an amazing one....but he was outside her realm of understanding.

Annie had a loving heart.Now it was more than a loving one ,it was jealous and possessive too.
When he was with her she wanted to know what he was thinking ,when he wasn't with her she wanted to know where ,with whom ,till when , and most difficult of all why...He hated to answer all these questions ,he was in a relationship and not a victim of the Spanish inquisition.
Sometimes he would feel claustrophobic and hemmed in ,at such times ,he did not take calls from her ,she grew desperate and he grew equally adamant.

Then finally the axe fell.
He could not take any more of being questioned.
He wanted out...
if she does not trust me ,she does not love me ...if she does not love me ,she has no business being with me...i m not doing anything wrong....i cant tolerate a relationship such as this.
Annie felt heartsick and heart sore ,she knew she was at fault but he had driven her to this .She wanted him badly.....she wanted him at any cost...she wanted him period.She pleaded and cried ,she cried and pleaded ; if they could be just friends...
He relented ,after all this was the girl he had cared for deeply ,not so long ago.Probably they could be friends.
He agreed ,even agreed to meet her for a coffee.But something urgent came up ,he could not make it.She had to go there and wait and wait some more . Then wait and then come back home.Again she suggested something ,again he agreed ,again he did not turn up.She could not keep on suggesting more dates and they were not even dates since they were no more together.But she couldn't give up.
Yesterday night she had called him again and miraculously he had taken her call.They had decided to take in a movie...a matinee....and now it was 4.15 pm.She had been waiting for over a good one hour.
She knew he was not on his way.
She knew he did not want her.
She knew that she will never call him again. ...ever again.
It was over.
At last.
