Perfect Match

Hey amigos!!


I am super happy today!! Because my blog has had 400 Page views. I know it is not much but to me it is a lot!! ^_^


Anyway, I had written this short story a couple of months ago. And here it goes...

        

                                                               'Perfect Match'

The golden fingers of the sun crept through the window waking him up with a gentle caress. 

It had been decided. Today was the day. Calling it the biggest day of his life would be an understatement. Everything around him was going to change, it was in the air. He could feel it with every breath that he took. 

The stress, the tension... It was all gone. The weight of the world seemed to have finally lifted from his shoulders. He was ecstatic, for a match had been found. 

A perfect match. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun rose beautifully across the sky marking a new day and possibly her last. 

Everything had been perfect. She was perfect. Her life was perfect. There was just one problem. It was too perfect. And this was the perfect time for life to strike. 

When you are on top of the world, life always has to push you down. It breaks that 'bubble of perfect', that 'bubble of happiness'. And that is what happened to her.

She had been found. She had tried to make a run for it, she had tried to hide but all was in vain. You can never truly run away from your past. Now, it just stood in front of her, towering over her. She was cornered with nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Life had a beautiful way of being cruel.

It had started when she was mere four months old. Defenseless, vulnerable and weak. So weak. Her family found out about the abominable thing that she was carrying inside her. She was abandoned immediately. It wasn't her fault; it was completely out of her control.

At that time, they didn't realize how valuable she actually was. They never considered the possibility that they might require her, that they might need her.

After few years her importance came to light... And the search began. Not because they repented their decision. But because her worth was realized. 

She was a match. 


A perfect match.

I hope you guys enjoyed it. Till next time :)

Happiness

I have been talking to a friend of mine who went through something crappy. And she has been very upset for a really long time because of that. She seems to have lost her will to smile. Okay, so almost everyone goes through something or the other. Her, you, me. Everyone. Few of us are lucky enough to get over problems easily that is they either suck it up or solve it. Some put up a brave face while others just fall apart and give up.

Basically, how is it possible for some people to smile even when everything seems to be falling apart?

How is it possible to have hope when everything seems lost?

Is it really possible to follow 'however long the night, dawn will break' philosophy? 

How is it possible to be happy forever?

Is it possible?

Definitely not. But what is possible is to change your outlook towards things.

What people have forgotten is that happiness is not permanent, it is a temporary thing. It is not the main thing in our life. Being content is the main thing. Being satisfied is the main thing. Satisfied and content with what you have, with who you've got.

There is an act that I have to study as a part of this semester's syllabus, 'The Sale Of Goods Act, 1930'. I won't go deep in law but there is a section which defines 'condition' and 'warranty'. Condition is the main part of a contract while warranty is a subsidiary part of the contract. If somebody doesn't fulfil the condition the contract can be repudiated, but in case of warranty the contract continues to exist and can't be repudiated.

Basically, if life is a contract then happiness is the warranty. It is essential but it is not the main part. You can't go 'I give up!' or 'I suck!' or 'You suck!' and 'I can't be happy anymore'. You need to realize that no matter what happens, the contract still exists and can't be repudiated. Life goes on. Nothing lasts forever, not even sadness. You can't truly appreciate happiness, if you haven't seen sadness. And, I think the moment you realize that, you can overcome anything. 

Life is too short to be anything but happy! So, relax. Don't over think(Ironic that I am saying it cause I am the queen of over thinking :P). No matter what you think, everything will be okay. If not today, then tomorrow. But, it will be fine. So just smile and be happy :D

Taken

I just came back home after attending an event at college. It was fun performing in one of the cultural events. I was really nervous before going up on the stage. My hands were shaking and the crowd wasn't helping at all. Everything turned out to be okay in the end though. Phew!

Before the event I had a lot of spare time. So I ended up writing another short story. This time I have a title for it, 'Taken'. It is not related to the previous one though. So, here it goes!

  TAKEN

Do you know how it feels to have your hands tied by the circumstances? Do you know how it feels to be helpless? Do you know how it feels to be so strong yet not be able to do anything? 

Do you?

I think not.

But I'll tell you how it feels.

This is my story. It wasn't all bad. I was a happy person, cheerful even. I had everything that a person could ask for, a family, a roof to live under, money to sustain us and love. I was content. I was at  peace. But as always, there is dirt on the cleanest of things. Everybody has skeletons, it is all about hiding them. I had a secret, a secret so dark it could destroy everything that I had built. It could also destroy who I called my family, the people that I loved, my mother, my father, my little sister. Only if they knew.

Everything changed on that fateful day of November. We lived near the countryside, it was beautiful and a peaceful place. It was a perfect place for someone with a past like me, a perfect place to start afresh. It was noon and I had gone to collect some wood from the forest. Usually my 'father'  was the one who went out  to collect the wood but today I was sent for the very first time. I could feel something wanted me out of my house. Something was off about today. Anyway, I left reluctantly.

After five long hours of collecting wood, I realized it was going to be dark soon. So, I started making my way back home.  I was around six hundred yards away from home and I could feel an eerie silence surrounding my house. Suddenly I felt anxious. I could feel something was wrong, very wrong. I dropped the tree branches and started to run towards my house. 

Now I was sure that something WAS wrong. The door, it was broken. There had been a struggle. Blood was everywhere.  Without delay I started looking for my family. I found my 'parents' in the living room. They were seated on the sofa and their back was facing me. I made my way towards them and gasped. Their throats had been slit. There were stab wounds all over the body. I knew they were dead without checking for any pulse.

Suddenly my heart jumped to my sister. Where was she? How was she? Was she even alive? I could not lose her. She was my responsibility. I searched and searched but couldn't find her. 

It has been ten very long years, but I still haven't found her. I know that she is alive because her blood was't spilled that day. I know that they have my sister because I had something of their's. So her being kidnapped is all my fault.

If her family hadn't taken me in, they would have been alive today and she would've been with them. So I can never stop searching for her. I owe this to her parents.

So, that was it. Hope you all liked it. Till next time then :)
