"I hate maths",I said
"I love maths",he replied
*15 years later*
"Mom can you please help me with my maths homework? I've a test tomorrow!"their son asked
"Either you def want a 0 or else approach me for help"The dad replied and everyone laughed
"She's just like you,Always a hater of maths since schooltime"He told while looking at me with a bright smile on his face.
"Exactly. Then and now too" I replied with a smile
*MY POV*
the room was filled with laughter and jokes,He was happily married,a 7 year old son,10 months daughter...while i? Still that one sided Juliet who loves Romeo from afar...yeah I didn't confess...but even if I did? Would he accept? What a funny reason to stay loyal to him even when he's not mine? I hate marriages..I hate kids...ofc I do..because the life partner and the child I wanted was not related to him. I also hated maths,he understood that even before I told him,then why didn't he understand my feelings when I didn't tell him?
She was beautiful,also hated maths but he understood her...did I not deserve him?Or did I commit a mistake by not confessing??
He solved every equation in his life..but not the one of my heart--Career, relationship,children...but not me,I remained that one unimportant example unsolved,not even tried to attempt...did he himself not try to solve? Or did I not give him the chance?
I didn't get to be his forever but I was the one who loved him enough to let him run towards his happiness.
So yes I hated maths,but this equation..him,me and the silence..will remain unsolved forever ig?
"I always hated maths,but one thing I understood was that Some equations take a lifetime to solve..and when you finally do so..maybe you realise the answer was beside you all along..only the negative sign was the problem."I continued with a laugh.
Unfortunately no one followed my lead..except for him to give a soft smile and turn on the Tv.
*HIS POV*
She thinks I never understood her but I did,behind her silence i acknowledged that love that unspoken word i understood very well. But love hidden behind silence is the cruelest kind,it makes you wait,makes you doubt if you're imagining it all.. I wished she'd say it atleast once"Don't go" when I was fading away..but she didn't..she waited for me to solve her..but I was in doubt...
But someone else,she expressed her love,her heart when Juliet hid hers
So I chose her not because Juliet didn't matter but because Juliet never tried to give me the chance to matter to her
Maybe Romeo and Juliet's story will remain unspoken..quite different but quite similar to an unsolved example in the book
I'll never solve, I'll never attempt just because it didn't give me the chance to do so.
