He was nice. Different. Butterflies fluttered inside her stomach at this thought.

She longed for someone who was different from others. Someone who cared. He could be the one, the one who cared.

She decided to let him in. Did he spot the BEWARE sign hanging on the way to her mind? Surely he should. He will be punished of course, if he overlooks the warning.

But she had hope, this little pup was definitely different from the other gentlemen bloke who broke her heart.

I stood close by the church building admiring the beautiful day. A jolt of happiness enveloped me suddenly.

Indeed, today I’m happy beyond measure. I could feel those butterflies fluttering inside my stomach. After all, he is coming to see me today.

It was a long wait. I didn’t enjoy this never-ending wait. He had promised that he will come. But he failed to say when exactly. So I waited.

My intuition said that today is the day and it wasn’t a mere hope in vain. See, he is here. As soon as the ceremony is over, we will start our new life together, a life in eternity in this cemetery!

Priya couldn’t understand what the big deal was.

Her sister Shikha, was so fond of the library and the books there. Priya could see it in only one way – a building with lots of books in it, where the people inside couldn’t even look up to smile at each other.
“They are all immersed in those books”, she said. “As if they prefer to become the characters in the books than live the real life.”
“You wouldn’t understand!” Shikha shook her head.
“I would, if only you put that book aside and experienced your life to the fullest for a moment.”

“Life isn’t fair, sweetheart. If it was, then I would have been married to the football captain of the school, not to the science club head!”
“If she married him then you would be talking to your dad in prison now, honey, and I don’t think he is in a position to buy an iPhone.”
“And dear, don’t tell me that you prefer the timed visits than sitting here relaxing,” James said turning to his wife.
Lori smiles as their lips meet.
Christie scoffs at the conversation realizing her iPhone dream is not going to come true anytime soon.

“Hi.”
“Hi,” Grace said uncertainly.
“I’m Joe.”
“Grace.”
“I see you here every evening.”
“I haven’t seen you.”
“Yeah, I know. You never seemed to be present here when you were here.” He chuckled.

That was true. She came there every evening in memory of her deceased boyfriend, Xavier. That spot was their favorite meeting place till the day he died. She was always lost in thought when she got there.
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
A voice from inside her said that it’s time to let go. Maybe, it’s time she thought as she smiled at Joe.

She looked at the art, puzzled. It didn’t make any sense to her. The stones, tiles, clock with numbers shattered, bottles – she thought it was garbage piled on a corner.

But it is displayed as art in the gallery. People are looking at this one in particular very curiously, very impressively.

Only she couldn’t understand why!

Probably it is like her marriage –  messy inside-out but for the outsiders it gave a curious element, with the way they managed to come off like one happy couple.

Yes, that’s it, garbage piled on a corner, impressing the viewers!

Pic via The Moving Quill
I saw glimpses of me,
Laying on the beach with you,
Ignoring my arrival, you whined
about work; spoiling rest of the vacation.I touched you soothingly,
When your thoughts wandered aimlessly,
But adamant were you,
In shaking off my presence, worrying about tomorrow.I’m Happiness  – find me yet?

Is that a pattern? Or some decorative lights? He strained his eyes to get a better look, but the blur was more pronounced now.
“Where am I?”
The streaming light behind the pattern caught his attention. The gushed in light flooded his eyes that he wanted to go back to the calmness of dark he was used to by now.
Then he saw the mysterious figure formed by the light and as he walked towards it the blur disappeared to reveal his long gone pet friend.
“It doesn’t matter where we are going, does it now Fluffy?”

The older woman in the mirror looked nothing like her, she realized.
She asked “who are you?”
“I am you, silly. Have you forgotten what you have done to yourself all these years by neglecting yourself, not paying attention to your dreams and avoiding your desires?”

Her reflection stared at her posing questions she neglected so long.

In her race to make everyone else happy, to help everyone else achieve their dreams, she forgot all about her.
Though she found solace in her husband’s achievements and kids accomplishments, only she could hear her heart whispering ‘if only I could..’
