The Innocence of Love

Let's meet the innocent lover... 

"You have caught me like a thousand times staring at you. Believe me, I'm helpless. I love looking at you, observing every single thing you do, the way you smile and that twinkle in your eyes when you finally do it. The way you talk, the way you roll your eyes, the way your locks fall freely on your face and the way you put them behind your ear, just everything about you. I wish I could do this forever."


"You have spoken a million words to me and a hundred more telling me that how at times I'm lost and not listening to you. Believe me, it's not my fault. I just wonder how lucky those words are to connect to your heart, how they can make you feel happy and sometimes so relieved that you go on saying five more, 'I feel so good now'. I wish I could hear you forever."


"You have walked with me. And more than that told me to walk along your side and not behind you. Believe me, it's because I'm lost. I'm lost in your aura when I see you walking and at times leading me. I love obeying your commands, I love to see you as 'The One' in my life and moreover I love that feeling of care when you turn around and call out my name. I wish to be mesmerised by you forever."


"You have always kept your life as an open book in front of me and I have always loved you. Believe me, I do. I don't want anything to change. I don't mind you not loving me, as it's you and your happiness which matters the most to me. I wish to be in love with you forever."

Stay back

Their last December together. She wanted to make it the best moments of her life. The joy and frolic in the atmosphere, the love and happiness, she wished these moments were eternal.

On the 31st night, they partied hard, kissed harder, dancing away to bring in the New Year. Its the last time she'll be spending time with him, in fact, the last time she'll be with him.

From the time they reached home, till the time he had to move, she cried, sometimes shedding tears, most of the times withholding them.

He was leaving. Forever. He wanted to settle down in Texas. He wanted to see himself rising a family there. She wanted to live with her parents. Soon, she was going to get married. They had broke up mutually, yet there was something killing them deep down in their hearts. It was love.

At the airport, she kissed him for a final good-bye crying all the way back home. Love succumbed to their individual life-goals.

Happily Married

The news had spread like wild fire in the entire office. And in an office having a headcount of just 120-odd employees it had to.

"Yes, I'm getting married", she replied to the n^th person confirming this from her in the day.

"Congratulations!", he said.

"Thank you!"

Wanting to get more details from her, he waited for a few seconds and when she didn't help to continue the conversation, he walked away smiling.

 What had even spread was the fact that though it was her first, it wasn't her going-to-Be's first.

She had never discussed her personal life with any of her colleagues except for that day.

Two months ago when both the families had agreed, she was so overwhelmed that the next day, the first thing she did was that she poured out all her emotions in front of a female colleague on the adjacent desk. She was good friends with her and she also knew that this female was a big-mouth, yet out of sheer excitement, she couldn't hold back the joy spilled all the beans.

She knew that everyone was so keen to know why she chose this person.

A week later, at the wedding reception, she read out a few words for her groom. Words which answered all the questions, yet none.

Hi Mak. I always wished to say a few words to you and there can't be an opportunity better than now. I know two months is a very short time, but then, as all know, love doesn't need time to happen. You're the one with whom I see my life blossoming in love. Your kids are only kids I'll never find irritating. Many of them were inquisitive about me and you, about how will we be able to make it, whether our marriage will sustain or not, but then for me life is all about following my heart. There will be times when we will have our share of arguments, not come to the same conclusion about the stupidest things on earth. Music, bookshelves, TV shows, movies, date venues and many more. It can be that I wont be able to bond with the kids that sooner, as you and some others expect, but I'm determined that one day, I will. I'm determined that I will be the wife you want, the mother you want your wife to be for your kids and the friend-in-their-spouse which every person desires to have. I'll make it for both of us.
 

Oh she? She's a Psycho

"Why doesn't she ever mix up with anyone in the class?"

"She's a psycho. Don't bother. She's been the same from the past two years and I guess she'll be the same in the coming year and the rest of her life."

Tamannah overheard every single word. She knew those two and in fact, the entire class and the college professors too had the same opinion for her. She hardly reacted , yet deep down, inside her heart she felt worse.

She was depressed. Her heart was wounded. She had lost in love. But then, the one who loves truly always becomes the ultimate joke.

She was in pain. She had lost faith in people, in God, in love. She was dying every moment from within. But he was happy. He was in bliss. He was in his best phase of life. Had he known and realized the extent to which Tamannah loved him, he would have been one of the luckiest people of this Universe to experience true love.

People called her mad, psycho, ill and unwell. No one tried to look into her eyes or feel her pain. No one ever made her cry even once just to help her release all her bottled-up emotions. All they did is ignored her, joked about her and said, "Oh she, avoid her. She's a psycho."
