Hour-glass : A short story

-

It was too late when he realised that she was leaving him forever..Till the time he went running after her, he found she has already entered the narrow path of the hour-glass..where he could not enter as he was too obese for it..:-) and he watched her going..not turning back for a single moment and slowly he lost the sight of the girl, who once longed to be with him in his world but he didnt allow her...Now, as she reached the other side of the hour-glass, their worlds are apart.

It was thundering outside. Meera felt the quench to tell her feelings to childhood friend Raghav today. She out-poured her emotions in her miniature manuscript  and made a paper-plane to land in Raghav's desk in the library. Raghav was enjoying rain outside the library window.

She conveyed her pain to Granny but her words were short by ten...
