“You look ravishing.”
“Really? You do know that we are not going to happen, don’t you Dave?”, smiled Kate teasing him.
“I know. But I wish I didn’t!” sighed Dave.

She ceased to exist long before anyone realized.
Bit by bit, she changed – her humming, playfulness – it’s all part of maturity, concluded everyone. Her monotonous smile – oh, that’s just how it is, as you grow up and get busy with life, trivial things are lost and forgotten. Look at her, the graceful lady she has become, putting others ahead of her, always thoughtful!
No one realized that she ceased to exist altogether, a stranger to herself!

She will object, but she did invite me in. No one ever looks out for me, yet I am there for her, always.
She doesn’t want me now, though, I’m the lone witness of her suffering, her companion when the world turns its back on her. Nevertheless, she tries to get rid of me.
I wonder if it is her suffocated sniffles or my own strangled whimpers that will finally be heard!

“Today marks the 4th anniversary of the day we met, and of all other days, I cherish this one the most as this day is the reason behind all other happiness that followed. How wonderful it would have been if you would break this silence and talk to me. Can you do that for me just for today, my love? ”
Nothing can persuade Tanya, Sam realized with a heavy heart.
He placed the tulips, her favorite flower, on her grave and walked away.

“Aww, honey, you look ravishing in this picture!” – said the comment notification on facebook for her photo followed by three hearts and kissing emoticons.
“You are so sweet, my love!” – she replied after liking her husband’s comment.
“You two are adorable, so much love!” – said another comment from a mutual friend.
Mindlessly, she liked that comment too. The farce of perfect couple and their perfect love fooling their friends and family and themselves; deception at its best, she thought nonchalantly.

She tiptoed across the room. Silence was all she could hear except for his gentle snores.
Quietly, she made it through, out of the door and took a sigh of relief as she finally found her freedom.
But it was short-lived as her baby erupted into wails again that night dragging her back in the room. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she picked up her baby to repeat the charade all over again.

Tara read for the umpteenth time that night what she wrote on the white paper in front of her carelessly fiddling with her pen. “GoodBye”, it read. Goodbye to all sorrows and failures and hopes that failed to keep its promises, she thought miserably.
Just then she caught the glimpse of morning sun up from its slumber spreading its warm rays all over. A smile appeared on her face as she made the paper into a ball and tossed it into the bin and reached for her camera.

He kept kicking her. Yet she waited for his kicks gathering strength.
She struggled to get on. But her love for him kept growing.
And then, one day at the end of a painful scream, she held him in her arms as she met her precious little kicker for the first time.

“Tequila, please. Keep’em coming,” said Amy without looking up.
“Rough day?” inquired Joe, the bartender. He had seen enough to know. Most of his lonely customers are there either to shed off the rough day or in search of a good time. This girl was clearly not looking to have a good time, not with a smudged mascara.
“You can say that,” continued Amy, “I knew breakups were hard, but breaking up with a close friend that was the hardest of all!”
“I read somewhere, “We learn the most from imperfect relationships- things like compassion“, maybe you learned something like that from your relation too. ”
“Yeas, I did. ‘All that glitters is not gold‘,” smiled Amy.

She kept crying and I couldn’t do anything to make her feel better. A loss is a terrible thing to go through. Losing someone dear to me, Oh god, I can’t even imagine such a tragedy. And she is experiencing the trauma of losing her beloved.
I stood beside her trying to figure out the words which can console her a bit. Her sobs pained me. I moved closer to her and put my hand on her shoulder gently. She turned around and looked at me; the sight of her agony filled face made me cringe.
I extended my barbie doll, Bella, “You can have Bella. I don’t mind.” Hesitantly she took the doll from me. Her face shined with a tear filled smile. Our neighbor’s dog didn’t like Tina, I knew that. But to butcher her beloved doll like that, it wasn’t nice! “I am not going to pet that dog anymore,” I assured her.
I hoped that she won’t cry over losing her doll’s head to the dog next door.
