His Birthday

-

Vivan's birthday was exactly a week after their engagement. Even after the engagement, they didn't  speak as much as they ought to. She couldn't say that she was happy about the whole deal because Vivan was light years away from her Perfect man. Nothing had happened the way she had imagined. Even after the engagement they lived in two different universes. They did not talk. They did not even message each other. She had always thought her life partner would be someone who would be mature, caring and loving. Vivan was none. Each passing day made her feel as if she was getting deeper into a shit, a quicksand. Deep down she was into depression.

A week later she decided to put things into perspective and to ask directly what the matter was. She spoke about this with her mom and her mom said she was just thinking over the top. But she was adamant. She wanted to clear things. If he wasn't ready for this marriage, she wanted to break up as soon as possible. She left him a small message demanding a break up. After that he must have called about 50 times but she paid no heed. Ever since their marriage had got fixed, she had practically begged before him to meet and every single time he had given her some or the other jazz saying he couldn't make it. This had hurt her real bad.

Anyways so after she ignored his calls, he called up her mom and made sure he pataoed her. Her mom asked him to come home and immediately he came home in the evening. But a word didn't come out of his mouth since the moment he entered the house. Her mom was happy to see him and advised her against breaking the engagement.

There she was, again at the same point where she had started it all.

    You have voiced the deep anguish of more than 90% of the girls of India so beautifully. Tragedy is NO ONE has either heard it or understood it.

Sadness

She was experiencing a feeling which she  couldn't  really explain. She felt cheated, used, and thrown away like a trash. It was a  feeling so despicable. Her thoughts and her feelings continued to torture her, night and day. Was it all just an imagination? Did it really exist? Was anyone truly in Love with her? Questions such as these ran randomly through her head and she searched for answers but found none. No matter how hard she tried to see him as a wretched person, she just  couldn't . She  couldn't  believe that he lied to her, that all that happened was a part of a big game. How could someone who once meant the world to you could suddenly go so far away? She felt anger, immense anger towards that person but it  didn't  last more than a moment. She was surrounded with all the words that he once said, all the promises he once made, now broken into a thousand pieces. The question that most tormented her is Why? Why did this happen ...

Her Vow

-

She wanted to make a vow, a promise to herself. Never to succumb to any mans words. She had been fooled, cheated and along the way, been hurt, very deeply. She  didn't  know what made them do it, what made them break her heart every single time. Could it be vulnerability? Possibly yes. There are some questions of the heart which no one could answer, not even her heart. Despite always being a kind lover, a faithful one what did she get in return. Nothing but, emptiness of the heart. Every time her heart continued to bear the burnt and become shallow, day after day.  She hoped that she could gather herself and emerge stronger. Not needing a man for her needs. She had always hoped that her man could probably give her the happiness that she was so longing for. But alas, she was wrong. Happiness  is found within and not outside . Her experience had made her so bitter, that even if she wanted to, she could not think happy thoughts about Love. It was all that she had...

Spring

Love was blossoming in both hearts. She was ecstatic that she had found someone who could match her on the same wavelength. When they walked together, she could feel him protecting her. When he held her hand for the first time while crossing the road, she never wanted to let it go. He showed the same craziness like her. She would laugh with him like she had never laughed before. And she started believing in Love, one more time. She trusted him more than she ever did to anyone. He was equally happy to have her beside him. He knew she was lonely and he wanted to always make her smile. He answered all her silly questions, managed to go through her mood swings. He wanted to spend more and more time with her, know her and untangle her life. They met on their common offs. He would always want to meet her early, so that they could spend some more time together, even if that meant sleeping for just a couple of hours. And she would always expect him to ask her out, and she would immediately s...
