ALEX

"Of all my lands

Is nothing left me but my body's length

Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust?

And live we how we can, yet die we must"!!

~Shakespeare

"Alex....tell me why are you leaving for a week"?

These were my words, hours before Alex's death!! Those blue ocean eyes had stared deep in me as though its studying inside me, and seeing my soul. Shiver ran through my skin, and my shoulders shrugged heavily, his stare was so intense that for a minute I thought he had known all my dark secrets.

His gaze moved over my body and again settled on my deep hazel eyes. I tried to break this contact, but it was so strong that neither of us could break it. Alex slowly moved out of his chair and started to walk towards me. My body was numb and I couldn't move my feet, so I stayed where I was.

Slowly, he reached towards me, our eyes still locked. The environment around me turned hot due to the heat emitting from our bodies and slowly adrenaline rushed through my blood. It was the first time that we were this close. Now he was inches away from me, our eyes staring in to each others, trying hard to figure out the secret in those depths. His hand moved up and his finger tips traced through my cheek bones and stayed at the corner of my lips. For a second I thought I could see right through him, regrets,darkness and grief was poured in his soul, but then his face turned expressionless and all those walls were sealed again back in his eyes.

"These humans says that God is so unfair, alas they don't know that they are unfair. They them selves do all those sins and when punished, they cries loud, but even then, God forgives them. Tris, whatever God do, he better do it for a purpose, every event and even every person who comes in your life, comes because of a purpose, either to bring the very best in you or to give you a lesson. And when some one goes out of your life, its too because of a reason, either because they have fulfilled there purpose on this earth, or they ought to go out so you can head towards your purpose. But those who go out due to this, are ought to come back"!!!

"But when will you come back"! I yelled out...holding back my tears.

"SOON"!! He said....with a sad smile.

With this, he moved out of the room but not soon before giving me another regretful look. On that very evening I was shocked to hear that Alex had a car accident and on that very moment, his car was blown in to pieces, a dead body full burned was found with pieces of Alex's birthday watch that I had given him, however his body was not recognized because it was all burned but yet, resources were pretty sure that it was Alex's body.

On that evening, I had cried aloud, this was the second trauma that had taken place in my life, and this left me alone. On this day, I was broken in to pieces, my soul was shattered and I had died from inside. From this day on, I never saw Alex again...
