The Only Playlist

Feeling indifferent to the world and the society, he had lost his interest in everything. His heart was devoid of the emotions that make a human being lively. His eyes had long lost the shine. His infectious energy had died and he had restricted himself against even his own feelings.

Sitting on the window seat of the bus, he pulled out his phone from the bag. The moment he switched on the internet on his phone, it was bombarded with notifications from different apps. He had many friends on the social networks but in reality, he had no one to comfort him. He just ignored all the notifications and opened the music app. There was only one playlist in the playlist section of the music app named “Her Favorite”. He played it and pushed the earphones into his ears effectively blocking the noise of the outside world as he looked outside the window of the moving bus.

“Kitni baatein yaad aati hai….Tasveerein si ban jati hai…Mai kaise inhe bhoolon…Dil ko kya samjhaun…”

His lips started moving automatically with the song playing and myriad thoughts invaded his mind. The thoughts which he wanted to forget.

The beautiful happy memories of the past now made his heart sank with grief.
