Its Time to Let Go

August 23, 2022 by Moni 26 Comments

“So, finally it’s time to say goodbye then…”, Dhairya said with a smile on her face. As she started sitting in the cab, Aksh held her hand and said, “Can’t you stay back?”

Dhairya looked back at him and nodded. She still had that smile on her face. Aksh was out of words, and he let her go.

As Aksh was walking back to his house, he remembered how Dhairya left her parents and moved to his city to be with him. He recalled every torture he had done on her. He recalled how much he had hurt her for years because he was engrossed in his memories of the past.

But now that he loved Dhairya, she left him alone. He realized, as usual, this time too, he was late. As a tear trickled down on his cheek, it suddenly started raining heavily. It seemed as if the sky was sad too.

Dhairya, sitting in the cab on the way to the airport, encountered the rain too. Her eyes were heavy with tears as well, but she knew it was time to let go.

    This is such a beautiful short story. Letting go is one of the hardest things to figure out in life. Staying in it always makes you feel broken, depressed and frustrated.

    Moniiiii… forguve me for saying this nI feel so bad to say it but somehow I didn’t quite understand the essence of the story. It doesn’t have any twists or hidden meanings right… its just what it is? I read it several times to see if i missed any line or word.

      Thanks for being honest. It’s just a story when the girl decide to leave the toxic relationship she was in and let go.

    Hey Moni, I believe that you mastered the art of Micro story writing and i appreciate that because very few can do that and the person I saw so far is my elder sister. I am always a short story writer and at least I need 3000 to 4000 words to draft a complete story going in my mind. Micro story writers are pretty talented and you are definitely one. I can feel the separation pain of the characters. I liked the acceptance of Aksh about what wrong he did with Dhairya . The boldness of Dhairya to never return was well presented. Bang on creation by you.

    You have nicely captured the atmosphere in the narrative.. The description of the rain adds drama to the narrative, which itself is captured so poignantly. Sandy N Vyjay

    This is a different one from you but it has a very strong message. Most victims keep giving their husbands that one final chance. Sometimes it is time to let go. It is a difficult decision but the best one.

    This was one sad love story. Something so typical yet a lot don’t do and realise the importance of. Though how it was written can be quite confusing (must agree with the lady who comment first) but I got the message of letting go and felt how sad the feeling is but also the happiness it brings for oneself and the other person as well.

    I really admire your art of spinning a nano tale. In a few words, you tell a powerful tale. I actually could imagine the toxicity and how both might have felt. It is never easy to let go but you have to.

    She did right by dumping his sorry behind and walking out. I love the range of your writing, Monidipa. And how you manage to bring across the motions in such a few words. Would love to read a full length book from you.

    It’s very touching. Toxic relationships even though if ur heavily invested into, are best to let go. They eat you from within.

    She did right. She should had done it earlier but it’s never too late.
    This quote suits this story – It’s better to be alone than being with someone who makes u feel alone.

    If only we knew better than to distance the people we love and take them for granted. This was heartbreaking. Dhairya must let go though.

    What a poignant story. I think love has 2 sides. A sense of beauty and a sense of unreasonableness. I had a pull at my heartstrings towards the end.

    Dhairiya did the right thing. Any relationship that inflicts pain should be left for good. People who are disrespectful and do not value others should be left to realize.

    It was good decision by Dhairya to lead her life without Aksh and she did it courageously.

    A difficult thing is to let go, people don’t realize what they do at the very moment and its later when everything is lost they sit and think, aare what I did. Such people must hv an alert alarm in their brain to tell them their doing something wrong

    The ending was sad but beautiful. When a person is in a relationship that does not hold any love or respect they must let go. As always your writing was beautiful and I could picture the whole episode in my mind.

    Too sad that Aksh was so late in realising the value of love. May Dhariya find love that she truly deserves.

    It takes courage to walk out of a relationship. But learning to love and respect oneself is important too. Lovely short story. And Dhairya is an apt name
