A Piece of Imagination (a touching love
story)



This was the Day. Tony had been waiting
for this day for his entire life. He had his
share of sorrow all through his life but
now the moment waited him which
would change his life forever. He was 22
and had seen so much in these years. He never knew what a mother's warmth
was. She died giving birth to him. Soon
after her death his Dad started seeing
other women. Tony hailed from a very
rich and prestigious family with
generations having served the poor through the medical fraternity.
Everyone was a doctor or a PHD but not
his dad. His dad didn't take up the
medical profession, in fact never tried to
earn a penny. Tony had a lonely childhood until Jane
entered his life. He could still remember
the day when Jane moved to his
borhood. He had found a true fried in
her. Jane's company covered all his
sorrows, he stated smiling, laughing and more importantly enjoying his life. And
now he was going to ask her to marry
him. This was his last day of college and
he had been preparing for this moment
for a while now. He had visualized the
scene a hundred times in his dreams." Will you marry me Miss Jane?" He had
memorized this simple plain line. As he
was waiting for Jane in his garden he
heard Uncle Jack calling him. Uncle Jack
was the one who looked after him for
all these years. Mr. Jack was a Psychologist. He was very dear to Tony.
"Can I speak to you for some time,
Tony?" "Now? Actually Uncle ..." Before
Tony could complete his statement
uncle jack said "Tony this is really very
important. I always wanted to speak to you about this but was afraid. Now you
are older and you will be able to
understand.. ." "What is it all about..."
Tony asked with a tensed voice. "Not
here... Let's go inside the living room
and will have a talk there" Tony followed Uncle Jack into the
cottage. Tony was very anxious and
nervous. He had never seen his Uncle
this way. "Tony before I talk to u about
it please promise me you won't panic
and whatever happens always remember that I am with you." "God!
You are making me too nervous. Tell me
uncle jack what is it about". Tony
wanted to get through this as early as
possible. "Jane must be waiting for me"
he thought. "Tony you need to keep your calm. Know it will be very tough for
you to understand.. Tony, remember the
day when you told me about Jane
moving to the cottage next to ours?" "Is it about Jane...?" he shrieked, his
heart was pumping fast... "Listen Tony
There is no one living in that cottage for
years now..." "whhhat ?? How's that
possible I have been there myself so
many times.....what are you talking about? I just can't understand" "Please
listen Tony. You were alone those days
and were very upset with life. You didn't
have friends then...You went through
lot of things...You wanted to be happy
but were unable to you didn't had anyone to talk to" Uncle jack moved
closer to Tony and put his hand on
Tony's shoulder. "And in such situations
your brain plays bad games with you.
You started imagining Jane as your
friend...There is no Jane; Tony you are just imagining her..." "Just just just
imagining her...how can you say that ...I
have touched her even kissed her
cheeks. It's you who are crazy and not
me..." "Tony I know it's hard to believe this.
But it's the truth. I always wanted to tell
you this but you were too small to
understand.. ." "No that's not
possible.... .you are lying ..." "No son it's
your own mind lying you...please Tony keep your cool everything will be
fine ....just trust me" Tony rushed away from the living room.
He ran to meet Jane in the Garden. But
no one was there. He went to Jane's
house hoping to find her there...he tried
ringing the door bell but it didn't rang
and how would it? The place was locked for 17 years now. He entered the Cottage
through a broken window..Eveything
was deserted. The sofa on which he and
Jane sat chatting for hours was covered
with layers of dust... He was almost
crying now...he moved to the terrace to find the rose plant they planted
together. There was nothing only some
rusted furniture and dust. He went back
Uncle Jack. "Son, I am sorry but you need
to get out of this..." Tony couldn't
believe what had happened to him. The girl who he loved the most and wanted
to marry didn't exist. She was fake, a
thought, and a piece of imagination... It took around a month for him to
digest his fate. He was finally
recovering. And that day before going
to sleep he took those tablets which he
took for last 15 years. He always
wondered why Uncle Jack kept giving him those tablets. Now he knew the
answer. He was sick. Sick mentally. As he
was about to sleep he heard a knock on
his door. It was Jane. "Jane you cant be
here...you don't exist..." "What's that? Is
this some kind of Joke, Tony? I came here to say sorry. I had to leave that day
without informing you because my mom
died in a car accident...I tried to reach
you but somehow I was not able to..." "Noooo! this is not true" said Tony.
"There is no one called Jane in my life...I
know that now...Just get away from
me... " "Whats the matter with you
Tony? I am Jane your sweetheart your
love...." "No that's not true...." Tony closed his eyes for a moment hoping his
dream would end.... Jane held his
hand....Tony was shivering he could feel
the touch.His brain was playing Bad
games with him he knew it. "Come here
my baby you are not well...you need some rest" "Go away from me ...just
go..." Tony was breathing high now...He
tried keeping his cool and took a deep
breath. He knew this would be over once
he convinced himself that there was no
Jane. "Jane you are my imagination. ..I made you..." "Tony you can't hurt
me ...you love me so much ...we had
such a great time together" "No Jane, I
had a great time with myself..." What
am I talking! I am going nuts.. He rushed into the kitchen. He came
back with water all over his shirt... He
could still see Jane standing
there...weeping. He was well aware of
the bad games of the Brain now. He
went closer to her... "Jane i made you ...now i will destroy you..." Zap zap
zap... three stabs...Jane was bleeding...
Tony could feel the red liquid ....bad
brain games he thought... "Uncle Jack.
Where are you? I am cured now. There
will be no Jane from now on...where are you Uncle Jack?" "There is no Uncle Jack.
I wanted to tell you this... All these
days..." Jane gasped. Breathing her last
breath.
