Pretty Much Everything !!

“ You can only be hurt by people you love. People you don’t love can never hurt you! ”, such a correct saying. Something of such sort happened with her and on none other than the most special day of the year for her, her birthday. Birthday is the most special day of everyone’s life. One deserves to be happy and feel loved on that day. And this year was a little more special for her as she was planning to celebrate it with the love of her life. Little did she know, that this birthday will leave such a scar on her heart that she would hate this day for many more years to come. One day before her big day, she was all excited and happily waiting as she knew he would come to meet her and wish her at 12 o’clock. Just to have a sneak peek into his plans, she called him to inquire where he was. He, as usual, replied that he was very tired and told her how it was a long day at the office. She couldn’t resist herself by asking if he would be coming that night to meet her to which he lazily...

They had a friendship, so casual, so liberating, so special. From being unknown to each other to become neighbors next seat in office, they had a sweet bonding. They used to fight, abuse each other like buddies, still took great care of each other.It was a plain friendship, no expectations, no promises, no strings attached. From sitting next to each other in the plane to grabbing a beer together to sharing a smoke, it was evident that they were a team. When he hired the bike to roam around, it was already understood that she would be his partner. Unknowingly, they were getting habitual of each other's company. The comforting beach waves, the lovely environment everything was in their favor. When he went further inside the sea, and the deadly waves scared her, he took her hand and led her forward. Her fear vanished when she held his hand tightly. She felt safe with him and was confident that he won't let her go. He would protect her no matter what. Even the scary waves wo...

Isn't it strange, how just thinking about someone makes your heart beat vigorously !! That Dhak dhak sound coming from inside you won't let you stay in peace. How does this stupid heart know everything! It was a usual lazy Friday morning! Like always, she reached the office with sleepy eyes and started her day by browsing through her emails.She had to complete the task assigned by her boss in 4 days and this was the second day. Having planned her work, she started working on the laptop, consuming her morning cup of green tea. Suddenly her phone rang.Tring, Tring! Tring Tring! It was Him! His name kept dancing on the screen unless she dared to pick up the call. "Hey !", She said. "Hi! ", Came the reply. "Where r u? ", He asked. "Office! Obviously", she answered hiding her smile. "I have a meeting in your office, so thought if we could meet today", he declared calmly! She waited for a second, let that though...

That roaming around the streets in his car Listening to the retro soul Her humming of the sweetest tone That awkward silence expressed it all! Liquor making her mind numb But how could he be so dumb As if looking into her eyes Would have made him come :P He was struggling with his thoughts While she kept juggling with the cold Her heart skipped a beat when he stopped roadside Silence pervaded out while something erupted inside!! With husky voice and wanting eyes He turned towards her and mesmerized Locking her hair besides her ear He just pulled her cheek to her surprise!! Her face turned a beautiful pink His smile made her eyes blink With soft voice and longing eyes She pleaded “Take Me Home”!! Surprised with her blunt demand Secretly smiling from the corner of his lips He turned the steering so hard That made her jump off her hips!! Took few minutes to reach his place He opened the door to her grace With trembling f...

It was 10 o’clock at night. Done with the dinner, a lovely girl in the early twenties was planning to retire on her bed with her favourite novel. As she started flipping the novel in hand, her phone blinked. Opening the text on her mobile, a surprised yet beautiful smile crossed her lips. Gazing at her was a rather awkward question from the guy she was just thinking about. “Is it really possible to tell someone else how one feels?” asked the text gently. God! How she hoped the text meant the same as she thought. How she hoped that the question was for her. How she expected him to think about her while asking that.  But she did not want to seem so excited or so nervous about that. Thinking for a second, she started typing the words. As soon as she clicked enter, a broad smile came to her lips and reached her eyes. In some other city, tension was in the air of a beautiful room of a big house. The room depicted of boyish presence everywhere. The pile of clothes on the bed, p...

" Life has taken all of it ", he whispered watching her expressions intently as if answering his question himself. Sitting in front of him, playing with a fork in her right hand, eyes lowered down at the table, she felt like a total stranger to him.They met after whole seven months.Everything felt to be changed. As soon as their eyes met, she moved her gaze away around the empty restaurant.Sensing her discomfort he kept fiddling with the menu on the table, glancing at her from time to time.He could sense the emptiness in her eyes. He could feel her hands trembling while she ate a single piece of pasta lazily and uninterested. She was not there to eat, just to watch him, talk to him, feel him. The chirpy and bubbly girl he used to know had lost somewhere.The reason was not unknown to him yet he refused to admit.Trying to sound friendly he was reading her expressions keenly. She on the other hand, reluctant to face her own emotions, tried to look around to hide from hi...
