After years their eyes collided in a metro. Their hearts leaped for each other but they stayed apart, away from each other. Far away.

But the train jerked and pushed them into each other's arms. A memory flashed in both of their minds.

5 years ago.
"I will never leave you. Never. I will always be with you. " Both of them promised. They promised that nothing can pull them apart. That night it way their last day in the college. They had promised to meet again. They had promised to run away. Faraway from the grips of the ever demanding world. The clutches of the stereotyped society.

But did they meet again?

Present.
" I am sorry. Are you okay?" he asked. She got up and replied. "Yes, are you?" But the wedding ring on his finger was the only reply. Her wedding ring was also the only thing that stared back.
