Once we made a promise
​
It was June, the summer burned bright
On Bua's request, I took my flight
To Delhi I came, to an empty space
A house so silent, a forgotten place
No neighbors whispered, no footsteps fell
Just empty rooms and walls that tell
At first, alone, just me and the night
Yet something felt off, not quite right
Then Monday morning, soft and slow
Through the garden, I saw her go
A fleeting shadow, a stolen glance
A girl in white, lost in a trance
She plucked the roses, I called in surprise
She turned, then vanished before my eyes
A goofy dress, a face so fair
Yet something felt familiar there
I called my Bua, but she let it ring
Lost in a function, a busy thing
Days slipped by, yet once again
She came at dusk, just like then
This time, dandelions in her grasp
I caught her hand, I dared to ask
Why are you plucking these flowers you dumb
She only smiled, her lips went numb
Two flowers plucked, she placed in mine
And walked away like a fleeting time
That smile—it lingered, soft and true
As if I once before, somehow, knew
Curiosity bloomed like flowers in May
So I searched for her, day by day
And when at last we stood face to face
She spoke of temples, faith, and grace
She lived beyond the left bank's bend
She came for flowers, now and then
Yet something in her voice so mild
Echoed memories of me—a child
I should have asked, Do you know me
But let it be, let it be
And Mondays turned to something new
Dandelions held, and skies so blue
She flirted, laughed, played her part
Yet wove herself into my heart
Her presence light, a fleeting spark
A mystery wrapped within the dark
Then came the day I had to go
One last Monday, dandelions in tow
But she—she never came that night
Just silence there in pale moonlight
Months went by, no trace, no sign
Yet in my heart, she stayed enshrined
Then Bua came, a casual meet
As evening fell on Delhi’s streets
I told her of the girl I met
Her dandelions, her laughter set
Bua froze, a hush so deep
A story lost, a past asleep
Yash, she said, don’t you recall
We came here once, when you were small
A friend I had, her daughter bright
Your childhood mate, your joy, your light
She had no father, only her mother
Yet they had each, they had no other
Through struggle, strife, they found a way
To live, to laugh, to dream, to stay
But riots came, the city bled
Flames and screams, the streets ran red
And in that chaos, dark and wild
They took the mother, they took the child
Too shamed to live, too scarred to fight
They left this world one brutal night
A silence fell—a story untold
A sorrow whispered, soft yet cold
And then it struck, a chilling truth
A ghost had smiled beneath the moon
For Mondays past, I stood once more
Dandelions clutched at memory’s door
I saw her then, so young, so free
But how could she have looked at me
And then it hit—a distant year
A boy of seven, filled with cheer
He plucked a flower, gave her one
And she had sworn beneath the sun
One day, my friend, you'll come again
And I will wait—beyond the rain
After the Fair, We Learned to Pretend
​
It was a Christmas fair that forgot
it was supposed to be temporary.
Four years collapsed into one evening
of chowmein steam,
trampoline laughter,
teachers pretending not to judge,
and kids dancing like gravity had called in sick.
Candy floss stuck to fingers,
thumak thumak beats in the air,
nostalgia doing what it does best
lying gently.
And there you were.
Same face.
Same distance.
Same silence sharpened into hate
or maybe just practiced indifference.
Hard to tell now.
You spoke to everyone I knew.
Jokes landed. Smiles traveled.
Then you reached me
and suddenly we were actors
cast as strangers
who forgot their lines.
No fight.
No drama.
Just two people agreeing, without speaking,
to erase a shared past
in public.
And the stupid part?
I didn’t want closure.
Didn’t want apologies,
or explanations,
or the exhausting archaeology of “what went wrong.”
I just wanted to ask something small,
almost boring:
If life keeps throwing us
into the same rooms,
the same fairs,
the same future reunions
are we really going to keep rehearsing this silence
forever?
Can’t we downgrade the damage
into something ordinary?
A nod.
A neutral hello.
The decency strangers give each other
without history.
I thought about saying sorry too,
not because it would fix anything
but because unsent apologies
have weight.
They sit in the chest like unclaimed luggage.
But even now,
I’m telling this to you,
not to her.
Routing my honesty through witnesses
like always.
Maybe Jijji was right.
Maybe I freeze when moments matter.
Maybe I’m brave only in retrospect.
I didn’t speak.
Because what if she frowned again?
What if my words reopened a wound
she already stitched shut?
What if my courage became her inconvenience?
So I smiled at the fair,
ate the chowmein,
laughed on cue,
danced like nothing inside me was unresolved.
Overthinking?
Sure.
But silence thinks too
it just does it louder.
And maybe this is how it ends.
Not with forgiveness or fire,
but with two people
standing ten feet apart
in a crowded place,
pretending they never learned
each other’s names.
