Long Lost Love.

Ryan, a sixteen year old boy good at everything he does, girls go gaga over him but he doesn't care about them at all. Linda, a girl from his neighborhood- a bit chubby but cute girl who is messy inside and out and is average in studies. Well, as said before, girls go gaga for him and so does she. There's no reason for him to like her at all but still he has a soft corner for her and likes her as well as she's messy but sorted in some ways, confident but still shy, has no level of idiocy but is a practical thinker too. Both of them were crushing on each other for past seven years but the day he thought of confessing it to her, his parents told that they had to shift. Good thing was that they shifted to a nearby place.
Later because of not meeting for a long time, their feelings for each other started fading away. One day the girl was sitting in her class studying and heard a familiar voice... she was shook for a while. She was then later sent to a class to borrow a book from the teacher but saw him sitting in the library and was shook right away but was happy too. She found ways to see him as she was happy that he transferred to her school. He too noticed her but did not really respond in any way because he thought she might not like him talking to her suddenly as they had never talked before. They used to meet daily in the campus as well as inside the school but never talked to each other.
 One day the girl's mother told her that the Ryan's moving to some far place because he had finished his higher secondary studies as he was older than her which really broke her heart but she held back her emotions. The guy finally gathered up courage and thought of confessing it one day. He was all ready to go to her and confess but sadly, it turns out the day they were moving out and once again they lost the chance.

Years later the Ryan got the news that Linda is engaged to guy because of which he lost all his hopes. He still wished that if could at least see her once before he dies. One evening, he finished his job and rushed to the bus stop. He was waiting for the bus in a queue. When he was just looking around, he saw a girl wearing mask and coming towards the same bus stop as his. He thought that the mask made the girl look cute. When she was standing in front of him in the queue, she got a call from someone and took the mask off her face. When she did that he realized it was Linda but much prettier than then. When she was about to receive the call, it ended. He tried making eye contact with her but she didn't pay attention. She thought he was doing it to someone behind her. He pointed towards her and asked her if she remembers him, she gave him a weird expression as if he were a stranger.
Her phone started ringing again and she received the call and said," Hey my car's tyre is punctured so can you come and pick me up? Oh you're nearby? Okay thank you for coming." And hung up the call. His eyes filled with tears on realizing that she had forgotten him. He thought of going to her personally and speaking to her about it but then suddenly he saw a hand on her shoulder and the man behind her said, "Hon! Come let's go." "Okay." As soon as she turned around tears started dropping out of his eyes as well as her's. She knew who he was but purposely didn't say anything as she thought of not disturbing her own life again as she can't bear the pain of losing him again. The guy saw them holding hands as they walked and stepped back. She couldn't stop herself from remembering her long lost love, she turned around and ran towards him but unfortunately a bus hit her and she died on the spot.

The guy with tears in his eyes, her blood on his face and holding her body in his hand regretted for not confessing his love then but he smiled as she passed away in his hands as he thought that he could at least see her for once before his death.
