  • Part 3- Our Love Confession and Departure

    Part 3- Our Love Confession and Departure

    The performance was a turning point in our journey. Joshua’s kiss on my cheek lingered in my mind as if a seed of delicacy had been planted. I couldn’t deny the emotions raging inside me. Love had silently seeped into my heart, and I couldn’t help but hope that the bond we shared was more than just friendship. As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, my love for Joshua grew. We spend our time together like two pieces of a perfectly fitting puzzle. Our laughter filled the room, our late-night chats became our favorite time, and it was clear we weren’t just roommates; We were soul mates. One evening we sat on the terrace and watched the stars paint the night sky. The peace of that moment enveloped us and I finally dared to admit my feelings. With my heart pounding, I looked into Joshua’s eyes and said, “Joshua, there is something I wanted to tell you”.

    He turned to me, his eyes full of pleasure and warmth that melted my heart. “What is it, Eden?”

    I took a deep breath and let my emotions flow. “I can’t help but feel something more than friendship between us. It’s like every moment we spend together, every look, every touch, it all means something profound to me. I love you, Joshua, more than I thought possible.” Silence hung in the air as I nervously awaited his answer. Joshua’s face softened and he held out my hand; just as he had done the first day, he moved in. “Aiden, you don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear those words,” he admitted, his voice full, and in that moment everything changed. We weren’t just roommates or friends; We were in love, and it was a love that felt like destiny.  Our hearts had found their melody, and it was a tune that was meant to be sung together. We leaned in, and our lips met in a sweet, passionate kiss. It was a kiss filled with all the emotions we had kept hidden, and it felt like the perfect crescendo in our love story. It was a melody of love that had been building for so long, and now it was being played with all the love and passion we could muster. As we pulled away, our foreheads touched, and I whispered, “I love you, Joshua.” He smiled and replied, “I love you too, Aiden. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” we then lay down next to each other, embracing the calmness that had taken over us.

    With each passing day, our love grew stronger, and we embraced our new relationship with open hearts. We were no longer just roommates; we were lovers who had found each other in the most unexpected of places.

    One year turned into two, and as we approached graduation, we faced the difficult decision of what our future would hold. Joshua’s music career was taking off, and I had received an offer for a prestigious job in a different city. It was a heart-wrenching choice and the thought of being apart brought tears to our eyes. The day of our farewell came, and with tears in our eyes, we held each other one last time. But as we kissed goodbye, we knew that our love was stronger than any distance. I whispered, “I love you, Joshua, and I’ll wait for you.” 

    With tears down my face, I stood there helplessly watching him leave. I prayed for one last time so that something could happen and he would stay. I hoped for him to be more than just a memory from the past; I wanted him to be someone I could share my present and future with. As the miles stretched between us, I held onto the love we had built and the promise of a future where our hearts would once again beat in harmony, guided by the melody of our enduring love.

  • Part 2: He’s the best thing to have happened to me 

    Part 2: He’s the best thing to have happened to me 

    I tried to keep my cool, but inside, my heart was racing faster than a sprinter on the track. Joshua was not just my university crush; he was the guy who fueled my daydreams during the dullest lectures, the one whose music I listened to on repeat, and now, unbelievably, he was my roommate. If this was a dream, I didn’t want to wake up.

    As we started unpacking his stuff, I couldn’t help but steal glances at him. His easy smile, his effortless charm, and his magnetic presence left me completely awestruck. Joshua seemed so down-to-earth, not at all like the conceited musician I had imagined him to be. We chatted about our favorite books, movies, and life in general as we sorted through his belongings. It felt like we were old friends catching up rather than two strangers who had just met. During a lull in the conversation, Joshua looked at me with his striking brown eyes and said, “You know, Aiden, I was a bit nervous about having a roommate, but meeting you makes me feel like this year is going to be great.” His words made my heart flutter with excitement. Here I was, thinking that having a roommate would be the end of my solitude, and instead, it had brought Joshua into my life. I couldn’t help but smile back at him, and I said, “I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive, too, but now I’m looking forward to it.”

    The days turned into weeks, and Joshua and I settled into a comfortable routine as roommates. We shared stories, stayed up late discussing music, and watched our favorite TV shows together. I couldn’t believe my luck.

    Tina and Jaby were ecstatic about my newfound friendship with Joshua. They teased me relentlessly, and Tina even insisted that it was a “roommate match made in heaven.” I couldn’t argue with her; Joshua was becoming more than just a roommate; he was becoming a friend.

    But there was something else. Something beyond friendship. Every now and then, our eyes would lock, and a silent connection would form between us. It was as if our souls were speaking to each other, sharing secrets and unspoken desires. Every moment spent with him felt like a dream come true, and my feelings for him continued to grow. The infatuation I once had was turning into something deep (I know I’m simping hard, but what can I do when this man seems straight out of some cool fantasy fiction).

    But despite all these feelings, I couldn’t help but wonder if Joshua felt it, too, or if it was just my overactive imagination.

    One evening, as we were studying together, he turned to me and said, “Aiden, I’ve been meaning to ask you something. Do you want to come to one of my shows this weekend? I’d love for you to see me perform.”

    My heart did a little dance of joy. Not only did Joshua want me to attend his performance, but he also wanted me to be a part of his world, to share in his passion. I accepted his invitation with enthusiasm, feeling my cheeks flush with excitement. The night of the performance arrived, and I watched in awe as Joshua took the stage. His talent, his energy, and the way he connected with the audience left me utterly captivated. I realized that I was falling for him even harder, and I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a chance that he felt the same way.

    After the show, Joshua came over to me with a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms. “Did you enjoy the performance?” he asked.

    I nodded, unable to find the right words. “You were amazing,” I finally managed to say. He thanked me and then, to my surprise, leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. My heart skipped a beat, and it felt like time had stopped for a moment. That one gentle kiss sent a flurry of emotions surging through me, and I couldn’t help but hope that it meant more than just gratitude.

    As I watched Joshua with stars in my eyes, I couldn’t help but wonder if my quiet, bookish life was about to be rewritten by a melody of love that had unexpectedly entered my world.

  • Golden Child

    Golden Child

    I (29m) got rejected by my family when I was 23, it was a traumatic experience for me, I am talking about the day when everyone was at my house. It was amusing because my family was nuclear and all of a sudden everybody including my grandparents (74m & 71f) were at my house. Of course, I have to mention that it was the day of anniversary of my brother and SIL (sister-in-law) (33f), yes, my brother john (34m) was married and it was his wedding anniversary ceremony. He was 28 at that time, even tho my family was nuclear my house was pretty big. We had a big backyard in it, it was where the ceremony was organized.

    I am an Introvert so I was feeling awkward being among my family members, yes according to me ESH (everyone sucks here) but not all are TA (total asshole). It is not going to be so great experience for me since I was not very talkative, I thought. I was wrong about this until the cousin with whom I am very close with came, his name is Michael (30m) he was 24 at that time his bday was also in few months. His younger sibling Laurance (26f) also came, I was getting comfortable with her as we met at a function 20 days ago, she was a psychologist. The moment they came I felt relieved as the weight of the burden on my brain got lighter. Michael was a free minded guy, so I have told him about the thing I was going to do. He did not think twice or hesitated to support me, I was thinking AITA (am i the asshole) but when he supports me, I got some kind of confidence, my brother john also knew about it but he told me that it is a risky task to do but he will support me, we all siblings and cousins started partying. my SIL asked john “what are we hiding?”, yeah, she is TA according to me, and even more of an asshole is my brother who answered it! Yeah, you heard it right he answered it. I was so embarrassed! That day I got to know I was the one who’s an TA. How can I not think of her! I still had faith and I told john to handle it. And for God’s sake he did it!

    When all of this is going on suddenly my SIL came told me how I was “The Golden Child of My Family” and how I was everyone’s favorite. I really thought for it and I was now more confused because of this good boy past shit, this was really a pause button for my brain. I was totally blank. Thinking what do choose in this situation, I was not able to find the solution as I was stuck between past and future. Thanks to my cousin Laurance she helped me as she is a psychologist, I underestimated her, she was really a solution finder. Finally, after those few hours of traumatic blankness I was able to decide what I have to do, but it was too late to call her.

    The day was spent well but it ended quickly, the plan was still there and today is the day when I will reveal the truth that I love one girl and I will marry her! It was 9 in the morning when I woke up, man the maddening voice of those spoilt kids. I am damn sure everyone has these kinds of kids in their family. Not only kids but as I said ESH.

    My father (52m) was giving farewell to other family members who lived far away, no worries, he was just lightening my burden although he doesn’t know about that. He is very strict as he was retired from US Navy, furious man with a fat moustache and beard, no doubt, why my siblings and cousins are not so comfortable and friendly with him. Well, I was also frightening about what will happen if I told him, and on the other side I my mother (50f) was with us siblings as my mother is very friendly, we were joking around with my mom. But my life can never be at peace my SIL whispered in something in my mom and her reaction was shocking. Still as she is my mother, she is NTA (not the asshole) unlike my SIL, rather than scolding me she decided to handle things and support me. My mother knew that my SIL is an TA so she in a MIL (mother in law) tone told her not to spread things, as my mother was also on my side, I was very happy and confident, but it was not the end. My father was still remaining, he agreeing on us will be the real win.

    All of the family members except Michael & Laurance were at the house to support me, it was 7:30pm, I called Abigail (29f). yes, she is “HER” whom I mentioned above. “Oh God I have faith in you in and only you, please help this fellow disciple of yours”, I said. She picked the call. “Hello, is everything fine? May I come over? She spoke. I answered say please come ASAP! The doorbell rings, we were confused that is it Abigail or my father? My mother opened the door and it was Abigail. We welcomed her like non other, my mother pampered her very well and we all started to discuss about it. Mother called my name from the kitchen; my mother told me that you’re very lucky but your father is a man of his words he has already said that your marriage will be arrange marriage. “But I also shall have some freedom, I love her and I can’t see any other than her”, I said. You have to say this to your dad dear, mom told.

    And finally, the door bells rings again, everyone saw Abigail as my bestie but now except my father everyone knows the truth. Mom opened the door and my father was there. He was calm and somewhat happy because he was gone to his friend’s promotion party. Little did we know he was drunk also, but we didn’t get any hints of he being drunk. soon we sat at the dining table it was complete silence, “dad I want to tell you that …… I … I love Abigail”, I don’t know what I was thinking but I thought to just say it because the silence was not the answer. “Okay So What?”, my dad told. I was numb, what to do now? but then my mother told my father “He wants to marry her, honey, everyone has rights to do what they want, Miguel is the golden child of our family. “He WAS the golden child of our family!”, father said. “Hey Miguel, leave my house right now!”, I was frightened.

    For few hours my family was arguing, it was the first time someone stood against my father and it was my family. But I guess no one can change the mind of my dad, at last my dad shouted “Miguel leave this house, right now!” it was traumatizing really. Although it was tough but I had to, I LEFT MY HOUSE….  “Will be continued”

  • Sophia and the Bug.

    Once upon a time, in a tiny village nestled in-depth within a lush woodland, lived a young girl named Sophia. She owned a vibrant spirit and a soul full of fantasies. Sophia had grown up listening to stories of love, where couples found their happily ever afters and shared their lives with someone special. She craved to experience such a love story for herself.

    In the village, there lived a young man named Gabriel. He stood handsome, kind-hearted and maintained a gentle demeanor that fascinated everyone around him. From the moment Sophia laid her gaze on Gabriel, her heart quivered with excitement, and she couldn’t help but imagine a fate by his side.

    Days veered around into months, and months turned into years, with Sophia secretly having her adoration for Gabriel. She daydreamed about their future together, dreaming of the pleasures they would share and the experiences they would embark on. However, destiny had different plans in store for Sophia.

    One catastrophic day, while probing the chasms of the woods, Sophia stumbled upon an injured and helpless critter—a tiny bug. Without hesitation, she carefully cradled the bug in her hands and assisted it back to health. To her awe, the bug began to glow and transform into a peculiar beast she had never seen before—a miniature human-like being with shimmering wings.

    The beast introduced himself as Alaric, an enchanted being from a hidden kingdom within the forest. Grateful for Sophia’s compassion, he granted her a wish as a token of his gratitude. Overwhelmed by her unanswered love for Gabriel, Isabella made a hopeless plea. “Grant me the ability to marry the man I love, Alaric. Make Gabriel fall in love with me.”

    Alaric, with a somber expression, clarified the restrictions of his abilities. “Love cannot be compelled, Sophia. I cannot make a person fall in love against their will. Yet, I can help you find bliss in a way you least hope.”

    With a heavy heart, Sophia accepted Alaric’s words and chose to believe in his wisdom. Little did she know, that his cryptic commitment would soon come to realization.

    As time passed, Sophia’s bond with Alaric thrived stronger. They spent their days exploring the enchanting forest, trading stories, and helping each other through life’s ordeals. Alaric’s kindness, wit, and unwavering company gradually restored Sophia’s, shattered heart.

    One day, as Sophia and Alaric sat beneath the hue of a majestic oak tree, they spotted Gabriel in the stretch, accompanied by a gorgeous girl. Sophia’s heart slumped as she realized that Gabriel had found love with someone else.

    Tears welled up in her eyes, but Alaric gently brushed them away. “Sophia, love comes in many forms,” he said softly. “Sometimes, the way to pleasure is different from what we envision. Take in the unexpected, and you may find joy beyond measure.”

    Sophia looked into Alaric’s eyes, realizing the profundity of his words. In him, she found a love that was pure, real, and steadfast—a love that had flourished from friendship and empathy.

    With newfound clarity, Sophia made a choice. She bowed to Alaric, took his hand, and said, “Alaric, I desire you. You have filled my life with bliss and devotion that I never thought possible. Let us embark on our own incredible love story.”

    As their hands intertwined, a charmed aura encircled them, and they turned into a couple of radiant butterflies, fated to glide through the forest together, eternally entwined in their incredible love.

    Sophia and Alaric’s love story became a legend passed down through generations—a

     tale of embracing unexpected paths and finding happiness in the most unexpected of places. And so, the girl who didn’t get to marry the guy she wanted to found a love that transcended the boundaries of the ordinary, a love that was destined to flutter and dance on the wings of a butterfly.

  • The Platform

    The Platform

    On the foggy winter night of December 31, a 5’7″ athletic man wearing a peach hoodie and blue pants holds his black American travel suitcase and blue suitcase. Drenched in sweat, he ran to himself. train which was about to depart from Platform 1 of Ahmedabad railway station.. The train was supposed to leave the station at 3:10 AM and reached the station at 3:12 AM when he ran towards his train he saw him leaving the platform . He left the platform within five minutes and could not catch his train. It was the second time in his life that he missed the train. When he missed the train, he was disappointed and disappointed because he swore that after missing the train don’t lose another one. first train It was the last train to Mumbai in the early afternoon and the next flight was at 4.20 pm. There was a strike, so many trains were either canceled or delayed. It wasn’t just the thought of missing the train, it was something else. He sat down on a chair and placed the travel bag on the chair and the suitcase on the floor of the platform. He was sitting there, bent over, head down, hands on his head, looking at the floor. Suddenly, a familiar voice said from behind something he couldn’t make out but felt very close, “Please leave your bags on the floor, I’d like to sit on the chair?” He looked up to see who it was. He pulled the bag to his side to keep it on the ground. “Is she…? Those thick, jet-black hairs, those dark, resolute eyes. A girl with soft chubby cheeks, round lobed ears, a childlike fresh voice, and a short, chubby frame. is it really her? – he asked himself. He put his bag down. The girl came and sat on the left side of the chair. She was wearing black leggings with a pink hat. She had two pieces of luggage with her. She, too, had recognised him and been struck dumb, for she had not expected to see him there, and so had been taken aback to see his face when he turned. The truth was that she merely preferred to appear unfamiliar to him. She just didn’t want to pretend she knew him.

    Her black Noise earbuds were in her ears as she had an on-call conversation. – Yes, I got on the train, let me settle first, then I will call you. – Oh, in that case, she is lying to her family maybe sister or maybe some guy… She hung up and put the headphones back into the black case. There was a dead silence between them for a few minutes, then he thought about breaking the silence.

    He grabbed his Sprite bottle and broke the seal and was about to drink it when he heard a voice say, “You’re getting cold!” “Oh, actually I forgot to buy a bottle of water and my throat is dry. , so I thought about drinking it.” Without saying a word she took out her water bottle and offered it to him which he immediately accepted as if he was impatiently waiting for it, while drinking the water he suddenly said: – “You should have asked me for water.” “How important is that to you?” Handing her the bottle, he continued, “I asked for it and went on, but all my pleadings were in vain.” She understood the context he was alluding to, but she stayed silent.. “Thank you for water and I’m sorry for what I said I forgot I can’t say now. I’m going to the store and get a cup of coffee, would you like that?” “How important is this to you? how are you You just don’t care about me. Don’t you dare show me your false concern. You just care about how much you want to say, no matter what situation someone is in. What do you know about what I’ve been through? Are you interested in something? You only care about your male ego. This is all you need to show the people you love that they believe in you no matter what you do. Just go get your coffee and don’t think I’m sitting here willingly. All the other seats are either broken or very dirty and I saw a man sitting in that seat but to my horror it was you and it is the only seat. I won’t bother you too much and I’ll be leaving in a few minutes. I’m only sitting here because my leg is hurt. So please have fun! ” She was tired and couldn’t breathe because when she fell down the steps of the platform, she fell right on her stomach and hurt her neck. He sat there trying to comfort her, but she was in no mood to do so. “Don’t you dare touch me! Please go get your precious coffee.” That would be my best concern. Just go.” For the comfort of her, he stopped caressing her back and instead just sat there and stared at her. After a little while, he turned to his right, unzipped his bag, and after a brief search, pulled out a cool pack that hadn’t yet been opened. He gave it to her after opening it in front of her so she could apply it to the spots that were developing on her neck. She hesitated at first, but then she took it and placed it to her neck, feeling relieved. He walked to the station shop and bought a coffee while she applied the cool pack. When he returned, he placed the coffee in between them. She grabbed the coffee and took a sip…

  • Tommy and Finley

    Once upon a time, in a small coastal town, there lived a little boy named Tommy. Tommy was a curious and imaginative child with a heart full of love for all creatures, big and small. One day, as he wandered along the seashore, he spotted a shimmering fish struggling in a tide pool. Without hesitation, Tommy scooped it up in his hands and gently released it back into the sea.

    From that day forward, a special bond formed between Tommy and the fish. He named his new friend Finley, and together they embarked on countless adventures. Tommy would spend hours at the edge of the pier, casting his fishing line, and Finley would swim around him, playfully darting in and out of the water.

    Their friendship grew stronger with each passing day. Tommy would tell Finley stories, and Finley, though unable to speak, seemed to understand every word. They shared secrets, dreams, and laughter, creating a world all their own beneath the surface of the water.

    Tommy’s love for Finley knew no bounds. He diligently cared for his fishy companion, making sure the aquarium water was just right, and feeding Finley the tastiest fish flakes he could find. Every night before bed, Tommy would lean in close to the aquarium, whispering, “Goodnight, Finley. I love you,” as Finley swam gracefully through the water, as if to say, “I love you too, Tommy.”

    Years passed, and Tommy grew older. His once small fish had become a magnificent creature, with vibrant scales that shimmered like a thousand stars. But one day, as Tommy gazed into the aquarium, he noticed Finley’s movements slowing. Panic set in as he realized that his beloved friend was getting old.

    With a heavy heart, Tommy knew it was time to set Finley free. He carefully scooped Finley out of the aquarium and returned to the familiar seashore where they had first met. Holding Finley gently in his hands, Tommy whispered tearfully, “Thank you for being my best friend, Finley. You’ll always be in my heart.”

    With a final loving stroke, Tommy gently released Finley into the vast ocean. As Finley swam away, a sense of peace washed over Tommy. He knew that he had given his friend the gift of freedom and happiness.

    Although Tommy would always cherish the memories they shared, he knew that the bond he had formed with Finley would last forever, transcending time and space. And whenever Tommy visited the seashore, he could almost hear the gentle whispers of his dear friend, reminding him that love knows no boundaries, not even between a little boy and his pet fish.

  • A broken heart

    A broken heart

    Once upon a time, in a city of Edinburg, there lived a beautiful woman named Gracy. She had a smile that could brighten the gloomiest of days and a heart filled with compassion. But behind her beautiful smile, Gracy carried a burden – a broken heart.

    Gracy was a married woman who loved her husband very much but her husband had cancer and he came to know in the very last stage. But he never told this thing to his wife because he did not wanted to see her sad, so he hid this thing from her.But after his death, his wife came to know from somewhere that her husband had died of cancer. She was sad for many months and used to cry in the memory of her husband and now she has stopped smiling like before.

    Her pain stemmed from a loss she could never truly recover from, leaving her shattered and adrift in a sea of sorrow. Since then, Gracy had tried to piece her life back together, but the weight of her grief seemed hopeless.

    Days turned into years, and the passing of time did little to heal Gracy’s wounds. She had become a mere shadow of her former self, drifting through life like a fragile leaf caught in an eternal breeze. Her once-vibrant spirit had faded, leaving her heart heavy and her smile hollow.

    People in her neighbourhood noticed the transformation in Gracy. They would see her sitting alone on a weathered bench in the park, her eyes distant, lost in memories of a love that was no longer present. Some whispered about her broken soul, wondering if it would ever mend.

    One autumn afternoon, as the leaves painted the streets with hues of gold, a young girl named Rosalie stumbled upon Gracy on her usual bench. Unlike others who passed by without a second glance, Rosalie sensed the depth of Gracy’s pain. Determined to bring a glimmer of hope into the older woman’s life, she decided to reach out.

    Rosalie approached Gracy tentatively, her voice filled with warmth and kindness. “Hello, ma’am. Would you like some company?” she asked, her eyes brimming with empathy.

    Gracy’s weary gaze met the young girl’s, and for a moment, a spark of connection flickered in her eyes. She nodded silently, and Rosalie sat beside her, offering the comfort of her presence.

    Days turned into weeks, and Rosalie continued to visit Gracy on that park bench, sharing stories and laughter. She reminded Gracy of the beauty that still existed in the world—the laughter of children, the comforting touch of a friend, and the healing power of love.

    Gradually, the cracks in Gracy’s broken heart began to mend. Through Rosalie’s unwavering friendship, Gracy discovered that her heart had the capacity to heal and find solace in the simplest of joys. The pain would never completely disappear, but she learned to carry it with grace, like a delicate flower cradled in her hands.

    Years later, as her neighbors passed by that same park bench, they saw a transformed Gracy—her smile no longer hollow, her eyes sparkling with a newfound radiance. She had become a beacon of hope for those who knew the depths of despair.

    Gracy’s broken heart had found solace through the kindness of a young girl, teaching her that even shattered pieces could be woven back together with love and compassion. And in that city, where whispers of sorrow had once filled the air, the tale of Gracy’s journey became a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
