On the edge of happiness...

#1 For all the time you stopped me From following my dreams – “Thank You” You made it easier for me to leave you #2 Final boarding announcement. He hugged: “Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.” She smiled. “Stay back” choked. If only the baby in the womb could speak! #3 “All the best!” “Thanks! It means a lot from you.” Just once she hoped he won’t crack the interview.

#1 Butterflies in stomach? Past that age. Goosebumps? Insensitive to emotions. One look. And the world crashes. And they still need Richter scale to measure earthquakes. #2 6 AM. Result Positive. Husband oblivious. In deep sleep. Freaked out, she texts her best friend. Like always – he gave her a virtual hug. #3 “Don’t throw tantrums! You’re not a child. I was busy.” “Come home! There’s no one to throw tantrums when I’m late.” She’ll be her dad’s princess. Always! #4 “Congratulations! No more pizza, alcohol, and junk food.” Unaware, the tom-boy died. A mother is born.

#1 At thirteen, she heard Celine Dion crooning: “Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime.” Innocent belief is dangerous. #2 At 12, rain meant coffee and Mills & Boons. At 16, a love note hidden in the pages of notebook. At 20, chai and adda in the college canteen. At 24, a sudden kiss while walking on a deserted road. 28…32…36…40. Her soul is still rain parched.   #3 First crush? -Too early in life. First love? -A moment of silence. Do you love me? -You’re the father of my child. 

#1 I have seen music in his voice I have heard rainbow in his eyes. He rains. He burns. He cuts. He heals. #2 Strangled. Yet the pen bleeds. They can’t always be right! Some wounds don’t heal with time. #3 “Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.” Really? Then where did the concept of parallel universe come from? Just curious! Don’t kill the cat for that!
