The Idea Description:
Yash and Mansi dated for three years—they were the golden couple. They
clung onto eachother as all their other friends had failed relationships and
had one fling after another. But then Yash decides to go abroad for his
post-graduate and Mansi’s old insecurities emerge.
They make eachother all kinds of
promises but their relationship is tested with time and distance.
Do Mansi and Yash have a chance
or will they too become a victim of Long Distance?
What Makes This Story ‘Real’:
Every couple thinks
that they’re story is going to be different when they part. This story is about
that.
Extract from the story:
“What do you mean…” I
begin before swallowing. I stare at his oh, so serious face in my computer
screen. Technology does wonderful things, brings people closer—and apart. “You
want to…split up?”
“Don’t make me sound like the villain here, Mansi. You had to know that
this was an option.”
“What about all those things you said?” I am shrieking now. I have
thought of this moment before but the pain that thought caused me was a figment
of my imagination. It was like having a nightmare and smiling at my good
fortune when I would wake up. My subconscious was playing tricks, I would tell
myself. But, how do I deal with this? How do I deal with it now that it has
become my new reality?
