After 7 years, a message popped up on my screen. "Hey! I got your number from one of our friends and I just want to apologize for everything I did." Tears fell down my eyes, my heart sinking. This is the person I had met when I was in my teens. I don’t know how but there was something in him that made me fall for him. Maybe reading a religious book in class while everyone was just having fun outside.

Well, this may sound odd, but all I remember is the first thing that caught my attention and the first time I started crushing on him. I had never felt anything like this before.

It was the first time I had felt something like that but I was bound by my principles. I was strict about not getting into anything physical before marriage. Our mutual friends knew this and unfortunately, told him everything. This is unfortunate because I believe had he not known things, things would've been better today. 

He was already in a broken relationship with his first girlfriend. This is what made him approach me, and say those three magical words. I said no, trying to stay true to my principle of 'nothing before marriage' but I failed. I called him just after a few days but he said he didn't have any feelings for me and he had just messaged me generally.

I was broken. Although I know it sounds odd, I went into depression after that day for a long time. I don't know why because we had never really stayed in touch. Maybe because it was my first time when I had heard of such a big lie from someone. For almost 7 years, we were not in touch after that day. And then he messaged me one fine day after all those years.

Not only this, we even got into a relationship for a few days, with a fake promise of getting married. I would not have done this to myself had I known he didn't mean anything. This time also he was broken. As per him, his girlfriend had left him 3 years ago. But one day while we were talking, he cut my call. After some time, he called again telling me that his ex had returned.

For some reason, I asked him to go back to her. He didn't even once say he wanted to stay with me instead. But just said, "I can't leave her but I don't want you to marry anyone else. I want you to stay with me forever."

Dear XYZ,

Let me tell you something. Girls are not for you to use and throw. Being a girl myself, I can't ditch another girl. Grow up. Learn to take responsibility for your own actions. Don’t play with anyone’s heart like this. I hope you have heard of karma.

Whatever you have done has poured hatred in my heart and I would never want to be a part of your life again. Your girlfriend has told me every lie you've told her about me just because your ego could not handle my exit from your life. 

All I can say is that just because I loved you once upon a time, I will still always pray to God to show you the right path and shower his choicest blessings on you forever.
