So this is how it ends

For those who wanna play catch up
1, 2, 3a/3b

His last few days had been a blur. He had thought and thought and then thought a little more about the infinite possibilities that might possibly lead him to meeting her again. The crazy part was he didn't really even know what he would do if he even did meet her but still he spent a major part of time wondering if he could somehow will fate to give him one more meeting with her. He drove on to work past the cafe where he had met her last and his eyes scanned the floor more out of hope than anything else. She had stopped showing up for work there 2 days after he had last met her there. he drove on once again late for work not helped by the piling morning rush hour traffic. He suddenly noticed some free room in the right most lanes and he jumped lanes happy to catch some breathing room and revved up his car. Suddenly as he caught some speed he caught something from the corner of his eye and he braked as hard as he possibly could. His car went out of control skidding between his lane and the pavement. The cars behind him went into a crazy tailspin but managed to stay clear of each other and the traffic. Meanwhile oblivious to all this he tried to gain some degree of control on his own car but he soon realised it was futile. He braced himself for impact however miraculously it never came. His car finally after swerving 180 degrees managed to come to a stop exactly beside where his corner of eyes had been transfixed.

Sally: Some show you are putting on today, pretty impressive
Harry: Oh cmon overlook the technicalities, hop into your ride
Sally: Presumptuous as ever, do you feel lucky today punk?
Harry: More like the luckiest man in the world

In light of what happened to me recently I am not impressed with the car skidding and near accident. But then....I'm not sally, am I?
And no....this is not how it ends. you cannot bring the curtains down on the greatest love story ever :)

..and then Harry died in the accident...but as his soul departed, there she was holding his hand leading to the heaven...cos she had been dead too, but they finally found heavenly love...

@zufikar You know what they abt life turning out to be starnger than fiction so there's hope :), credit for the song goes to totti

@mahima No really this is it, in fact I think this is an apt ending to this story

@m Of course not you are m(ally) remember, I think the story had a fair run and to quote one of my fav lines 'Dont cry that its over smile that it happened' ;)

@pointy Your quest for a shock ending continues I guess but why this Nickelback plug man, I dont think they will send you free tickets to their concerts for this
