She had suppressed it and left it unspoken for years.
After all, what’s worse than wanting something badly but knowing that you can never have it.
She had pushed his memories to the inner depths of her heart, her secret place where it lay hidden, crumpled and wounded.
When she did bring it out on some lone days, the wounds of the past refused to heal and continued to bleed her from within.
And then she saw him after years. Their eyes met and locked.
It hit her suddenly and she realized that she could no longer hide the truth.
Linking it to Write Tribe’s 100 Words on Saturday : she realized that she could no longer hide the truth.

Beautifully written and sensitive narration:)
Full of emotions in just 100 words! Wonderfully written!
Curious to know what did she suppress for years that she could not do anymore 🙂 ? An emotional piece.
It doesn’t seem to matter how many words you use, Shilpa, you pack each piece with feeling and meaning. Well done!
Nicely done – emotional and revealing

Heattbreaking post in 100 words.love hurts.
WOW, oh Shilpa…this is GOOD! She must tell him!!!!!
Ah, how painful it must have been to keep it as a secret within the layers of the heart!
That was beautiful Shilpa! 🙂
I hope she tells him. I wonder what her pain was all about…
Trying to keep strong emotions hidden is always hard! You expressed this so well, Shilpa.
I admire your abilities to get across so much in such less words! I am enjoying all the posts you write!
Isn’t this typical of human beings,perhaps special about women?
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HIDE THE TRUTH…ESPECIALLY,WHEN IT COMES TO EMOTIONS
Ah! I hope she followed through and told him!
Nice take on the prompt, Shilpa ♥
Beautiful!
somethings just don’t go away. Beautiful narration
Oohh….she must tell him, dear. She must. It’s so hard to keep the emotions in check !!! Lovely Drabble 🙂
You have effectively described the intensity of patience….a lovely take on the prompt!
I can imagine what a relief she must have felt when she decided to reveal the truth hidden in her heart…very nicely done, Shilpa 🙂
A story with a glint of hope! Beautiful! 🙂
Love not expressed, is it?
Some things are better left unsaid. Really.
Nice take on the topic. I read your Drabbles and they say so much in limited words…This indeed is beautiful- sometimes we can’t move ahead…
this one hit the cord .. beautiful
Ki hall hai tera mudat pichon takri hain
main v Badliya howanga par tu v vakhri hain
dooron-2 takda reha bula vi nahin sakia
main kam dil jeha tere nede aa v nahi sakia
likh ke tera naam mein sajde karda rehnda san
tu mera naam likh ke kade mitaundi c k Nahin

u write drabbles so well…each one them could be the beginning page of a great novel….!
i know i may feel that way if I had to meet a certain someone from my past…sigh 🙁
Sometimes no matter how hard we try it’s hard to forget..maybe it’s better to face it, speak the words and get over it a little..beautifully written
Hmmmm- wonder what happened, that made her hide that strong emotions..? Love how you have described her Shilpa … and of course hoping they had a happily ever after:)
Sometimes language and vocabulary does not come to the rescue

She had kept her emotions in check but the dame had to burst when she saw him and I could visualize it . very well-written Shilpa.
Loved the way you brought out the turmoil in her mind Shilpa…That is the boon or bane of truth, it cannot be hidden for long…sooner or later truth finds a way out.
i had thot of this at first but i certainly cudnt have expressed it like this! a very beautiful narration shilpa 🙂
The agony of not holding a place in someone’s heart,exquisitely portrayed..kudos
Very beautiful!! 🙂 Shilpa, I loved each word of it
Eventually she had to open the heart. Very touchingly penned.
