Struck between passion and love
I questioned the sky above
To lend me strength to choose the best
So that I rise out of the nest
To build a beautiful future
Not just career but our love to nurture
So now I've chosen love
That's making me reach the pinnacle,
To ends that are sharp and no more curve,
We laughed in bliss as the happiness cart we drove.

Na jaane kb humne ye khata kar li
Na jaane kb ishq ki raah chun li
Tumhare hone se ab zindagi h
Bin mausam barsaat h
Tum na ho toh banjar si h zameen
Naa din h naa raat h

Contagious is the light of love
Even when spread through hands rough
Blessed is each one to feel it
For there's nothing superior to it

Barely I could feel emotions,
Until you came and touched
The core of my soul with love

That became deep, to create
The love that we've centuries made
And I would do nothing just retaliate

Maybe forever .....

Part 3Next morning, April took me to the well. It was a four hour drive from where she lived. First of all, she told me she has to call at the hospital. She handed me the parchment with the number and asked me to dial since her eyesight was now deteriorating. So I did that for her and waited patiently till she talked.
I heard the faint voice of the nurse over the phones speaker telling that Paul was in the same condition. Alive but in coma.
But April was positive that it would be ok now. She told me that she felt 100% sure that Paul would now fight unconscious and would then come back to her. And that they would get married. And do all stuff she'd planned in these years.
Normally I am not at all superstitious but somehow I believed when she said that they would be together once again.
She bought a coin from the nearby shop and when I asked why she did that she said that it was a habit of hers and she gave the coin to me. "This, sweetheart, will make your wish come true. Believe me" I smiled at her broadly.
Reaching the sight, she pointed at the well. As i had expected it was an old well. I glanced down it to realise that it was,not very deep and its floor had a lot of coins similar to one we had brought. It was situated in an otherwise deserted area. And since it wasn't even 10 am as yet the only people beside the well right now were us both.
April told me how the well works. "First you stand with your back to the well and looking towards the sky you make your wish. Then you toss the coin inside and pull an little bit of water from the well. Simple huh?"
I nodded. I saw her follow the procedure. She kissed the coin before tossing it in and went on to pull a bucket of water from it. I smiled at her and turned to the sky to make my wish as well.
I was still debating upon what to wish for when I heard a little yell and a big splash. I turned in a hurry to find that April was missing. I gasped glancing in the well and there she was motionless probably unconscious from the shock. For a moment i was numb paralysed by the trauma. But i soon found my senses adrenaline rising in my blood
"Oh no! April! April! Help! Someone help!" Agitated I screamed on the top of my voice. Looking around I saw a group some distance later. I ran to them screaming. I hardly remember what I said or did. I was so scared and agitated. I ran around asking people to help. About five minutes later, the took her out and I saw her there laying motionless.
I broke into loud sobs. My hands shaking, I checked for a heartbeat. I waited for like forever but didn't find one. Tears flew non stop. "No!" I yelled. Finally she was going to meet her husband. No! This cannot be! I hugged her crying. She didn't deserve it. She deserved so much better. I cursed the fate.
I blamed myself. I should have been more thoughtful. Poor lady. She was too fragile to draw the water from the well all alone.
An hour later, drained of tears, I sat staring at the sky. I just didn't feel ok. Fancy, how a total stranger made me realise how beautiful love is. I took another look at April. Her family would be here soon. I kissed her forehead and squeezed her hand. That's when I saw a small parchment of paper in her hand. Raising my eyebrow I pulled it out. I realised it was the hospital's number. It was already fading from being soaked. I saw her face. It looked so calm. She was almost smiling. As if shed got what she'd wanted always.
And maybe she had...
A thought occurred. My eyes widened at the possibility. In a flash I ran from where I'd been sitting to the telephone booth. Though the number had faded I could still figure out what it was. I called at the hospital.
I waited impatiently for someone to pick it up. And when they did i immediately asked if there was a man named Paul. On getting an answer in affirmative i asked about his condition. I could feel my heart beat so loud that i could hardly hear what the nurse said. In a moment she returned to tell me that Paul had met his death about an hour ago. And the reason remains a mystery.
Minutes later, I stood still. The phone still stuck to my ear. I felt numb. Then immense happiness took over me. I fell on the floor crying. I felt so happy for them. They were finally together. And their together this way... it was gonna last beyond an infinity.
Later, I composed myself. Making my way towards the well, I saw April's sister crying in the distance hugging her body. She didn't know that April was finally happy. And I couldn't explain it either. It could only have been felt.
I went to the well. Looking at it, before tossing the coin April had given me, I thought of just one thing. For I had learnt how divine it was. "Love," I wished for before tossing the coin in.

This is the second part of the series. It has total 3 parts. Please read the first part on my page before this. Again, this is my first series so it may not be up to the mark. Please give it a try. I am tagging a few people. Let me if you wish to be tagged. Happy reading.

Part 2It was already twilight by the time I was in the taxi heading straight to the address. As it got closer I suddenly felt that maybe I'd been stupid. I didn't even know if this lady still lived here. Sighing I tried to get the thought out of my mind. Finally the taxi stopped outside a narrow street and the driver refused to go any further and I understood his concern. I paid him and made my way on the street on foot. I saw a lady walking down the street.
"Excuse me. I am searching for this address," I told her showing it to her. "I think this place belongs to Mrs. April Reilly."
"Oh yea, ol' Reilly. Crazy bat that woman I warn ya. Lived alone all her life, that's why." She said. "Goes to that dumb well each week searchin' for the love that never existed."
Great. I rolled my eyes internally. Despite of myself I asked, "but where is this place?"
"Oh yea, 'tis there." She said pointing to an old house in a sad condition. Yes sad, not bad. Yeah I am already sympathetic towards that lady. And its NOT because she lives alone.
I made my way to the little house and knocked the door, my heart beating fast. The door creaked open after a minute. And as is human tendency after reading the letter I had imagined Mrs. Reilly's face in my mind. Red hair with hazel eyes or blonde with high cheekbones. But none matched the features of the old woman in a messy bun who stood at the door. To be honest, I felt betrayed and immediately felt stupid for feeling that.
"Yes, dear? How may I help you?" She asked in a polite husky voice.
I am sure that's not how a "crazy bat" talks. I felt happy and looking in her blue eyes I realised she'd have been a beautiful woman in her time. Breaking my thought strain I asked, "are you Mrs. Reilly?"
"Yes sweetie. But call me April. And u would not want to stand here for the rest of the night. Come in and make yourself comfortable. And in the meanwhile tell me your good name."
"I am Kait Williams." I said stepping inside following her lead.
"So, what brings you here Kait?"
"Amm... I found a letter addressed to you. From a man named Paul."
She stopped walking and turned to me her eyes widened and a smile reaching almost her eyes.
"Did you say Paul?"
I nodded, pulling the letter out of my pocket and handing it to her. She opened it reading it almost greedily. I felt a whirlpool of emotions inside me. I was impatient for her reaction. She looked at me with widened eyes.
"Do you, by any chance, have the coin, sweety?" She asked in a shrill excited voice grabbing my arms.
I nodded pulling it out and holding it out to her. She looked at it for a while as if admiring its beauty. Slowly she raised her hand and touched it lightly as if to make sure it wasn't an illusion. She took it and looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"Oh my god! Are you ok?" I asked her.
She opened her mouth twice but couldn't say anything. She nodded. I put an arm around her shoulder and made her sit on the couch. In a moment she uttered, "so you came all this way to deliver this letter to me?"
I nodded.
"What can I do to thank you?" She looked so fragile and thankful.
"Amm... I guess you can share your story. It's gotten me curious."
She nodded. She pulled me by the arm and made me sit on the couch. In a minute she was back with some tea and biscuits. After we were well settled she began with her story.
"I remember I was 28 when I met Paul for the first time. I find it to be of primary significance to mention here that I was a non believer of love. But that was before him. Paul and I, we met by mistake. Bumping into his chest in the park clumsily, I would have hit my head on the stone pavement had he not broken the fall. Thanking him shyly, embarrassed to death I made my way out of his sight hurriedly. It was only after I reached home that I realised my licence was missing and I concluded it must have dropped there in the park. So I decided to search for it the next day since it was almost dusk. About two hours later, I heard knocking at the door. It was raining heavily. Worried that my guest would already be soaked, I hurried to to the door. There he was with my licence." A smile kissed her lips at the memory.
She continued, "little by little the man made me fall in love. All was well around him. I couldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams that I would find someone like him. He became my entire universe. The only problem was that his family didn't approve of me because they had promised to marry him to a friend's daughter. He promised he would never leave me and that we would be together as soon as he earns enough.
"So years went by and our bond only grew stronger. We had heard tales about a wishing well and so we arrived hard to get a coin that could be used there. We were to wish for our eternity. Finally we, had enough money and bought the coin. Somehow, Paul always thought that this coin is very important for us. He said it would help us be together. And I believed him. Always.
"I was 35 when he left on a voyage. It was to earn us a good deal of money. He was to propose me after that and we'd have married to our happily ever after. Also we'd have made our wish to the wishing well. He left the coin with me. But as was said in the letter somehow it ended up in his luggage. He must have sent it on the lantern for me to find it. Thirty years ago." She appeared sad. I put a comforting arm around her shoulder. Taking a deep breathe she continued, "so every day ever since I've waited for him. I searched for the coin everywhere desperate to make the wish. In vain, of course. Every week I went to the well and wished for him. I even collected money to buy another coin but somehow I felt that it wouldn't work. And it didn't.
"But about an year later I learnt that he was in coma. I don't know how or what happened. But his brother is taking care of him. And since his family never approved of me, they didn't let me meet him. He's there to date in a country so far away. I can never afford to go there. But somehow I managed to get the number of the hospital he is in. And I call. Every week. To check on him. I've been for the past numerous years. They say he should've died. But I know he won't. He has promised to be with me. I know he will be ok. And he will come back. I go to the well ever week. And now with the coin in my possession I m sure we will be together once again. And forever after."
I was already in tears by the time she finished. She wiped them gently and said, "no sweetheart, because of your effort, I can have him back. Would you like to accompany me to the Wishing well tomorrow?"
Choking, I nodded my head yes.
So she fed me dinner and we called it a day. "After he gets well, he will come back to me. He will propose me marriage. We shall be together. This coin is the only antidote of his eternal sleep. The only antidote of the poison of separation. You will see dear, our reunion is now inevitable." Saying so she kissed my forehead. And after I slept I dreamt of a hospital scene where a nurse announced that it can only be a miracle that a man in coma for last 30 years suddenly wakes up so healthy desperate to see his beloved.

Part 1I gripped the cup of coffee in my hands cherishing the warmth as I gazed at the little sun taking birth as it does every morning. I could hear the church bells ringing in the distance and some birds chirping a good morning song for me in my yard. I closed my eyes letting the breeze tease my hair and face gently. What a wonderful start for the weekend.
Oh did I introduce myself. Guess not. I m Kait Williams. Currently I am 27 and work as an architect. My life is as normal as any woman can expect. Oh but I am not married and I live alone. People in my neighborhood say ladies living alone go crazy. Guess what I don't agree. And as for that matter I am not really alone. I live with Mark.
Oh talk of the devil... I gazed down to see Mark trotting up the stairs with something in his possession. And before my silly dog adds it to his collection of sheer rubbish I've got to go give him another lecture about the same. Planning on the same I rushed downward. Seeing me, he curled in a ball in his kennel.
"Oh, so someone's guilty now? Haven't I told you to not bring rubbish in the house. You know how I feel about it." I said to him, bending to check what he had brought this time.
It looked like a piece of cloth badly torn and absolutely messy. I was about to discard it when my eyes caught a plastic bag attached to it. On taking further note I realised that it was not a cloth but an old lantern. Curiosity made me pull off the plastic bag and I threw the lantern in the dustbin. I took the plastic bag inside. It was in a really bad condition. I ripped it open clumsily to let its contents go flying on the table. Tilting my head to one side I realised that the bag had contained an envelope and a coin. A kind of coin I had never seen before. Burrowing my brows, I opened the envelope to find a letter.
Dearest April,
It is with immense melancholy that I write to you this time. Our ship seems to have been lost completely. My arms feel so empty without you. It's been 5 months now and I am well aware that you must be worried sick already. But always remember love, I will come to you. As planned we shall live our forever.
Going through my luggage I found our coin. It must have dropped from the table. I am sure you will need it more than anything right now. So I am sending it. I know you will get it. It won't matter which part of the world you are in. Its our only path to our destination - the forever. Wish upon us.
My heartbeats recite our love. I know you will wait for me. And I shall not let that go in vain.
Yours,
Paul.
I could feel my heart palpitations. I looked around helplessly before going through the letter once again. And I noticed a small P.S. in the end. It had an address. I took a deep breathe trying to calm down my heart. I took a quick glance at my coffee cup which was no longer warm trying to make a decision. I closed my eyes pursing my lips. Then I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the flight which could get me to the address's town the earliest.

By @emanating_soul. So sweet. It describes your relation so beautifully. Well done, chuiya!!
It seems we just connected right from the start,
Meant to be - naturally SISTERS of the HEART.
And though we don't share parents as real sisters do,
Growing on my family tree
Is a special branch for you.
A time-tested kinship it'll be
In which God plays a part
Through talks and laughter, sorrows and dreams of
SISTERS by HEART.
Connected we are through soul
There wasn't any need for my sorrows to be told
For you knew my need
You gave the solution, but it made your heart bleed.
You cared me, loved me
But maybe I played trick and you forgot the misty girl in thee
Your blurred vision cleared as you met me
For not just you, I too connected with you infinite eternally.Long distance greeting from your soul sister. Shraddha!
-
Barbarically stripped and tied,
Assaulted by untamed words,
Penetrated by his vicious knife,
Yet my face devoid of those tears,
To bereft the sadist eyes of pleasure,
The red from where he branded me,
Marking identity and hope squandered,
I wake up haunted by my past... again.

This is for my sweet and adorable friend @emanating_soul. Unfortunately I could not spend much time with her but those golden moments will always be a part of my heart and soul! I hope you get everything you desire dear. God bless you always!
Joyful times that we have had
All the sweet memories so true
I'll cherish those moments all life
That I had spent with you!

I think about you the whole day
Dreaming of you, in every way
I cry when I miss you
And don't know what to do
Tears flood my eyes when I feel you're upset
And experience a weird unrest
All day I wish I could just hug you once
Forgetting everything else, my heart runs
I wait eagerly for your replies
And search for answers in my eyes
I can barely survive without you
And when I say it, it's absolutely true
Only you have the power to make me smile
Anytime, Any while
With every word you say, I fall deeper
Oh you are my promise keeper
I'm experiencing everything described above
Is this what is called being in love?

THE VERY ROOF
HE'S BACK UNDER
THE VERY ROOF
HE HAD BEEN LIVING
FOR NEARLY A LUSTRUM
EVERYTHING AROUND HIM LOOKS FAMILIAR
BUT
NOTHING FEELS THE SAME
HIS MIND CRIES
FOR
ALL WHAT IT HAD LOST
BUT
HIS HEART STILL SMILES
FOR
THE LITTLE
THAT
IT HAD GAINED
