Gone, Won
#WritcoStoryPrompt120
"You will realize a person's worth when they are gone." This is what he used to say.

In his eyes, he was too good for me. Making me cry and then taking me out for a treat to make me believe his love is never ending for me.

A year of togetherness, was a jail for life to me.
I am Kish, residing away from my family due to studies when I met him.

Keshav, a friend of my friend's boyfriend. Also, my boyfriend after a years when we first met.

He was such a simple, cute and understanding man when we met. We both were a relationship fixer for Nitin and Shreya. That's how we both got into relationship.

Day by day, my feelings turned into love for him the way he took care of me. The way he handled others relationship.

When we got into relationship. We moved together in a one room apartment. From that day, I am no longer in touch with Shreya as he don't like her. "I am your only friend and well wisher. Please do not find shelter elsewhere or I'll be broken."

His love for me was a peace for me. It was my first love and everything he did made sense to me even if I was hurt.

I skip going to my home for festival or on weekend, I love spending my time with him, talking to him, making love with him, feeding him his fav dishes.

"The thought of being away from makes me feel my death is here at my doorstep." I want you to be here with me, in this home we are making together, a ride together at college and back home.

Yet, I am unsure how he never missed me when he was on boy's trip or night out. How he never called me or text me? How my questions turned into something pointy? How my love was more like a lock-up when I was the jailbird here?

I tried to keep his love forever, I tried to love him with my sleepy heart.
Until, I found his boys were a girl. He was dating since years.

This jailbird yearn to be free with her heavy heart. It wasn't her or his fault. I was the second wrong woman. However. the series of his simple boy doesn't end. I was the culprit again.

"His behavior was a mirror to a characterless girl like me." Its not my word he uttered this to me.
"You will realize my worth when I am gone."

I think he was right. I know his worth. He wasn't worthy of me or my love. He wasn't worthy of the things. friends or family I quit for him.

A person worth might be known after they're gone but what about the unworthy person.
A person worth might not be something to be known when they're gone but to realize does it really matters to be with them.
A person worth is something not to be worry about but to worry are we really a person to matters most.
