From Yours Radha

­Dear Krishna

I know writing a letter to you is simply a waste as you are busy with your deeds and dear ones. I would be happy if you’d recognize my name once you see this. Hope you are good, healthy and happy. Please don’t ask me ‘how are you’ because you know the answer very well. 

People quote ours as the best love story they have ever heard. I have never said a word against you even today since I always like to hear them spelling your name along with me. I get excited when they say I make the best pair with you. Krishna is a great man for them and let them praise you with no regrets.

Have you ever thought of me hardly ever? If you ask me the same, I’d say “every moment”! Many times I’d this worry of you leaving me. During our golden days, you consoled me with your sweet words. You said you will be with me till the end. At the time you left me saying you have duties to do, I thought you would come back. But when our village folks told me that you have chosen a lady to marry, I was really shocked.

Still I was so thrilled to hear the news of your arrival here. I decorated myself with garlands and ornaments. I waited for you in our usual meeting point in the forest. You came to me and with your enchanting voice, you told I look pretty. After many days, my face turned pink. Then you started narrating all the great things you have done in the recent past. I did not listen anything! I was busy looking at your face, which I had missed for many days. 

Charm on your face can attract anyone. I hated other ladies staring or caressing your face. You enjoyed my possessiveness. You gifted me a flute and walked away saying “you are my most dear one”! Although it is a big compliment, I never expected that you will dump me. If ever you give a hint, I would have stayed away from you. Now tell me, how to through you away from my thoughts?

I am all alone here. I wander in our nearby forests with your memories and flute. I have to be careful not to let anyone feel I am insane. When they spot out, I’ll be chained inside my room. If they do so, I will not be able to walk through the ways we have walked holding our hands! 

You are a prominent figure and so I do not want to make you feel guilty. Whenever you wish to see me, I’ll be here. Again, it is my stupidity to think you will be back! At times, you visit me in my dreams making a day very pleasant. If we live today, we would be at least Facebook friends.

Oh God! You might be irritated with my mad words. All I wanted to say is that I miss our wonderful moments where there were just you and me. When it comes to love, I am a human being not a goddess!

From Yours (Yeah! You read it right)
