My fingers trembled.
"Do you still love me, Soumya?"
That one message…
changed everything.
It felt like time had stopped.
Seven years…
And yet, her words still had the same effect on me.
I knew I shouldn't reply.
I knew it would only bring pain.
But my heart…
it never learned to let her go.
Without thinking anymore—
I typed: "Yes."
Just one word.
But it carried everything I had buried inside me for years.
Seconds passed.
Then—
Her reply came.
"I knew it."
My chest tightened.
"Why now?" I typed quickly.
"After all these years… why are you
back?"
A long pause…
as if she was hiding something.
Then finally—
"Because I never stopped loving
you."
My heart shattered all over again.
This wasn't fair.
Not to me.
Not to my wife.
And not to her either.
Then suddenly—
Another message popped up.
"Can we meet?"
Meet?
After everything?
After all these years?
I looked at the door.
My wife was in the next room…
waiting for me.
And here I was—
Talking to a ghost from my past.
My phone vibrated again.
"Just once, Soumya."
"I need to tell you the truth."
Truth?
What truth?
My mind screamed— Don't do this.
But my heart whispered—
What if this is your last chance?
Slowly…
I typed: "Where?"
And the moment I hit send—
I knew…
I had just made the biggest mistake of my life.
