It was like Murphy’s law. Whenever she thought she had hit the path of recovery, her racing emotions were sufficient to derail the process.
But today, it wasn’t her but him who disturbed her emotional well-being by sending across a casual Whatsapp.
The seemingly flimsy and harmless text got a series of questions floating in her head and made her wonder, why did he keep coming back in her life. Her grit to stay away from him disappeared in thin air.
Before her mind could start playing tricks, her conflicting situation started nudging her about her history with him.
He was once again toying with her emotions by being hot and cold with her.
Her Whatsapp notifications were again featuring his random forwards. Her resentful mind was telling her to reciprocate like him and ignore the text. But, she couldn’t go against her basic nature and play the power game.
She knows even with the stray texts he was keeping her at arm’s length. Was it because he didn’t want to confront the pain he had inflicted on her or rekindle her feelings for him?
She wasn’t certain about any of that. All she knew was his casual forwards were also capable of making her feel his warmth and she smiled before hitting send on the happy emoji.
