LOVE – A mystery ~ Part 3

The story so far: Part ~ 1 **** Part ~ 2

The story ahead:



6 months later.

Sakshi: So…how was your weekend? What did you do?

Avinash: It was good. Went for a movie – Wake up Sid.

Sakshi: Wow…nice movie. I loved it. Sply Konkana’s house in it. I always wanted a house like that. How did you find the movie?

Avinash: I enjoyed it. It’s a beautiful house. Same pinchJ I also want a house like that with a girl like her, strong and independent. You know she reminds me of you a lot.

Sakshi was dumbstruck for a moment. Regaining her composure she wrote:
Sakshi: Thanks for the compliment :)

Avinash: No I seriously mean it. Any guy would be very lucky to get married to someone like you.

Sakshi could actually hear Gunjasa hai koi iktara…playing in the background for her when her heart once again dared to ask her “Am I in Love?”  Sakshi decided to leave this question unanswered for the mystery to reveal itself to her.

In the past 6 months their friendship had grown leaps and bounds. They had some rules to abide by like no sorry no thank you, where every sorry or thank you meant a chocolate. Some days Sakshi would find a box of chocolates waiting for her in the morning when she reached her desk with a note;
“Ab tak ka hisaab barabar :)"

Till now Khushi was a silent observer to all this and finally one day decided to confront Sakshi. Unable to hide things any further Sakshi told her everything and even showed her the chat scripts they had exchanged. In typical Sherlock Holmes style Khushi was lost in deep thought for few moments before exclaiming, “You are in love. I mean you both are. Look at these chat scripts man. It’s all there in black and white. You would be blind and dumb to not see it”. 

Khushi advised Sakshi to propose Avinash. Sakshi was scared and said she wanted Avinash to make the first move as she did not want to lose a good friend. Khushi argued a lot with her but agreed in the end threatening her that incase it gets too much for her she might things in her own hands. And then she would not want to be blamed for the consequences.  Sakshi started laughing looking at her. Khushi also joined her in laughing. Suddenly she hugged her and said, “I am very happy for you. I am sure Avinash will keep you very happy and I can feel he truly loves you. I think he is waiting for the right time to propose you. Oh….I am sooooo happy I can’t tell you.” Saying this she hugged her again tightly much to the surprise of Sakshi.

To be continued....In next Sunday Scribblings

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

By

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
