Another love, lasting?? - A short story

The snap-




The fiction-


“So you loved her?”
“hmhm”

“And she loved you back??”
“hmhm hmhm”

“But it did not last!!”
“hmhm”

He took a deep drag at the cigarette hanging from ridge of his mouth reveling in its crisp vapors, sighed. “So good!!”
“Huh!!” he looked at him flabbergasted.

“Good….. Good for you!!” He blurted out, once again trying to empathize.
He started to laugh. “May be… May be not. But that doesn't really stop the pain. Does it?”

For once, his friend fell silent. 



Author's note-

I watched the movie- The swingers yesterday. I loved it. Its an awesome movie that follows a bunch of wannabe actors, their love lives and their careers. An honest depiction. No mushy stuff, just the bare truth. Do try it. And I was  inspired by the same movie to write the above short fiction. Hope you guys like it.

    haha... Really!! Well, Sadly right now- I am out of producers- so the only thing I can assure you are more to come- stories...

    And thanks for your comments. The one thing I really want from my stories is people to relate the same.

    That's a crisp comment.

    Honestly I think (Just my own experience) The pain eventually subsides, but the memory of the aching is very hard to let go off.
