Black and White : The Grey Walls (A Short Story)


"A promise or a dare, I would jump if I knew you'd catch me."

You are black and I am white...
Between us is the grey.

She wears a white dress and he is in black suit. Today is the long awaited day for them to see each other again.
Its been three long years and she can't help but wonder how the day will turn out, for she knew that these years somehow changed the both of them. She wonder how will they ever pick it up from where they have left.

He is indecisive. Too strong and too good to hide his emotions. She can't see it through.
Thus she was hurting inside, she doesn't know if it is ok to admit her real feelings or if it is much better to hide it like it is now.

So the grey barrier stood between the two lovers.

She is at one side singing those familiar lyrics of their favorite band that goes "🎶hello happiness tell me where you've been, I miss the sound of your voice, I miss the touch of your skin...🎵". But her heart is bleeding with the melody of unspoken love.

He is on the other side singing those familiar lyrics of their favorite band that goes "🎵we started as friends but something happened inside me...🎶". But he is in control of his emotions. Too strong to be seen through it.

And these grey walls are keeping them apart. Those hesitations and fear of rejections, those misunderstandings and misconceptions, and those wrong impressions and wrong interpretations. Somehow these grey walls are tearing them apart.

And these grey walls are the only witness of this love story still waiting to be told.

She cried out loud but he can't hear her... These grey walls are breaking them apart.

She wept for she cannot see through what's going on the other side of the walls.

The End.

Epilogue:
He is on the other side of those grey walls holding an ax and with a great blow he started breaking those grey walls that keeping them apart.
