  • Loyality and sacrifice test

    Loyality and sacrifice test

    On a starry night, Isha woke up half dreaming and walked near the window. Something must have awaken her from her intense sleep. Her hands were cold and toes freezing as she stepped out of her comfortable blanket and walked towards the bright gleam of light just outside her home. Its was a fantastic event to observe but no one else was awaken from the hustle and bustle suddenly created in the lonely lane of Roosewington town somewhere located in America.

    As she peeped outside her window she saw a plathora of bright light in raindow colors, dancing at the tune of some kind of magical melodious tune. And one ray of violet light rose towards her and shape-shift into a dancind ballet girl. From behind it another ray in amber came glittering towards the window it shaped itself into a poodle and started dancing along with the violet light. It was a high quality magic only the best of best magicians could do, and that’s the reason why Isha knew who exactly had arrived for a summer vacation visit. She swiftly opened her window frame to let her sister in. And along with a brilliant display of light magic her sister bella glided in her room. Out of the cocoon made of pure light bella jumped out to hug her dister. “It was cold outside, thankfully you let me in before freezing to death”, she gratefully spoke, ” that’s why you are the best sister in the whole human world “. Isha nodded in agreement and took her littel sister into her arms… It was a sisterly long hug which ended after not less than seven hundred seconds. It was too late but excited about her sister’s arrival Isha rushed to wake her mom and dad and tell them the news. As she stepped on the very first stair her toes slipped, an accident was bound to take place but she froze in the mid air and was saved by Bella’s magical wand once again. It reminded her of the very first time they found out that Bella was a witch.. When she saved Isha during a fatal car crash from atleast 500 meter distance. Soon after that Their family was visited by magic creatures to convince her parents to send her to magical school and Bella was sent with them for a safe and protected future. Ofcourse she was happy to join her kind but sad about leaving Isha alone at home. So she often breaks away from school to visit her for hour or two once a week. This time she has come to spend the whole summer vacations so she requested Isha not to wake anyone else. Isha accepted on one condition, that bella has to tell everything to her about her school for the rest of the night. So they talked and talked till they both fell asleep in an hour or so.

    Next morning their mother coming in their room found them sleeping togather and covered them in a cozy blanket. She brought them warm milk and cookies and woke them up. All the four of them were happily togather and their days passed like that of any other happy family. A week later Bella came home from a neighborhood park in a puzzled manner and tried hiding herself from something. Her father couldn’t help but noticed her anxiety and asked her, ” Is there something bothering you Bella”, but she denied and passed a scared smile. Bella’s mother noticed scrates on her arm while she sat for dinner still half nervous. Realizing that bella hid the marks with magic. But when later Isha and Bella went to bed togather Isha to asked her about her peculiar behavior and this time Bella broke into tears saying, ” I did not came here on vacations but I came here because the magicians want us to kill our family members for the reason that they know about us. And today is my final day to accomplish my task if I have to pass my ‘loyalty and sacrifice exam’ .” she also told her in case she fails the exam she will be taken to be executed.

    Tears ran out of Isha’s deep blue eyes. She asked her sister to relax till the time she could come up with a plan to save both her sister and her parents. Next morning as the wizards come to escort Bella back to her execution. Both the girls came out to meet them. Neither them or the wizards told anything about the test to her mother and father. Bella never looked sad while leaving. She hugged everyone back home and waved a goodbye. On the other hand Isha was way more sad than usual this perticular time while waving back to her dear sister.

    After Bella left Isha soon retired to her bed and putting her face under her pillow cried for the rest of the time. But her tears had magic in them, where ever they fell Lillies bloomed on the spot. When her mother entered the room, she shrieked in fright to find bella crying in place of Isha. It turned out that Bella had shapeshifted into Isha and Isha had taken her place while being taken to execution. Bella told the complete truth to her parents filled with grief and guilt of accepting Isha’s plan to save her life. The joyful atmosphere of their home suddenly turned into dull and gloomy.

    Moments later their door was knocked. Struck with grief her father opened the door. He was awestruck to find Isha standing at the door withmany more wizards than normally would come to escort the witches and wizards. They were filled with praise and appreciation for Isha’s sense of love and sacrifice for her parents and sister. Making Bella the only girl to pass the test in the entire magic school that year. The head of the school also accompanied Isha home proudly said, ” while all the other students used their magic to save themselves and tried to hurt their family your daughters wittily showed loyality and sacrificed for their family”. He rewrote a few old codes and then with a swift motion of his wand he baptized Isha with the highest order of super magic powers.

    Both the sisters cherished their reunion once again and with both having obtained magical powers and admitted to the same trouble were nothing less than a double trouble. While the wizards were leaving out of curiosity Bella hasitantly inquired, “so what happened to the parents of other children, are they all dead?”

    At this all the wizards burst in laughter, then master wizard replied, ” since you are wizards your parents are protected by law with our special authority and hence they are wizard ensured. No super power can hurt them. So it was just a test and never meant to hurt anyone in the first place.”

    This knowledge relieved everyone present there. And as the fairytales end this story, of two beautiful sisters called Bella and Isha, too ended happily ever after.

  • Love marriage

    Love marriage

    His eyes were pink, heart melting, afterall it was the big day for the girl of his dreams as she was getting ready for her wedding the same night. He stood behind the curtains to see her before going away from his memories forever. She saw him too in her mirror, but could not gather enough courage to turn around and make an eye contact to ask him, why he could not stand up for her at the time when she needed him the most…

    Both knew in their hearts that life wouldn’t end without each other. Both of them were very sane human beings so none will commit suicide even if they part. But they also knew that it will just be a normal life. Nothing like the fairytale they had always wished for their future. It will be a life, less than than death, a plain ordinary life.

    Sitting on a beautiful chair, the bride to be continued to adore her hair, her hands, her lips, one by one and her lover maintained his distant glance at her all this while. She wore a beautiful red lehnga and a gorgeous cream dupatta. Added the darkest shade of black kajal to compliment her big brown eyes. Seductive red lipstick and and golden highlights completed her bridal look.

    Just after finishing her makeup she looked into the mirror, but before herself she looked at Armaan looking at her with mouth wide open. So she didn’t bother to look at herself. She judged her look by her lovers reaction. Both were equally burning in an inextinguishable flame of silent remorse. For her the regret was choosing the wrong man and for him it perhaps was to let her go like this. But nothing could be done now, when things have gone too far. She rose up from her chair and proceeded to the wedding escorted by all her family and friends.

    She dressed herself like a femme fatale not for her husband but for her lover. Not to get anyone’s attention but to kill those eyes who were attending her all this while. She was successful in her mission and not finding him anywhere again knew he couldn’t bear it any longer. Now happy at her victory and tortured by his memories she sat against the pit of fire and gave her seven promises to the new man in her life. He too must be having some charm, but she wasn’t prepared to acknowledge that. Her mind was still running behind a coward, who left her months back. Her thoughts were still painted by his colours. She was falling weak on her knees also aware of the fact that since she had decided to move on so there was no going back available to her any longer. At the end fate has had her way and again defeated the goddess of love by making the two lovers unhappy.

    It was saddest moment for this girl, whereas people often quoted it to be the happiest moment of a bride’s life. At this moment two lovers parted for good. At the same moment a thousand memories burned with the holy flame. And this very moment an innocent girl’s heart shattered like numbered broken pieces of a glass. How could she not cry at the painful hour of dying dreams?

    She wanted to cry, but her makeup was much costlier than her feelings for a lost relationship. She hid her sorrow behind her beautiful smile. She didn’t wanted to waste a single second of her life for a person who has given her up to perhaps a far better stranger. Yes! She got happily engaged that day to a person who will be there for her but the only irony will be that she will suffer the same fate which many forlorn lovers suffer when it’s all over.

    Then something crossed her mind, and she came to realise her surroundings. The bubble of imagination surrounding her head finally blasted and she as if out of a nightmare lifted herself up. She knew past is gone and future is unseen. So the only option left was to enjoy the moment. Afterall it was her wedding. That day she laughed a lot, half to cover up her sadness and partly to let her spirit know she owns herself. Her husband watched her happy face from behind his sehra and smiled to see the real beauty of his future wife.

    The ceremonies for the night ended cheerfully without any snag. And it was time for the bride to leave her parent’s home to start a new life. With a smile on her adorable little face she sat inside the car with her husband. He off her a handkerchief to wipe her tears off her face. As she held it in her hands she was taken aback by shock. She rubbed her eyes and looked again at the piece of cloth to check if her vision is not decieving her but it was not. Sameera turned her face towards her husband and what she saw then was the epitome of dream come true. The man she was sitting with in the car, the man she married the previous night, the man who was staring her while she was dressing herself was none other than her long time lover Arman.

    It took her almost five more minutes to believe that she has really married the prince charming of her dreams. Out of pure joy she cried wrapping her lover in a warm embrace. She thought they have lost each other forever but goddess of love won again by playing her tricks brilliantly.

    There they renewed those seven promises on the back seat of their car as per their memory. And promised each other to never let go, no matter how difficult the situations are. This is we say love always finds a way. And this should be the way of the world if we want to live happily ever after.

  • Pizza wars

    Pizza wars

    There were literally one million people eating pizza that minute all over the globe, but I am more than a 100 percent sure, no one ate pizza like I did with jacob on that wonderful day.

    Hi! I am Sandra Gilbert, a new high school kid and an intern at a local content writing office. I was always a spoon fed, naive and obedient person, which clearly defines my relationship status, if you are a clever reader. I had no girl friends either, reason being, girls back in my college days were big time snobs in my opinion.

    Then right in the middle of my collage I found my Mr. Perfect. We shared so many things in common that I could never sit and count them completely in one go. He and I met in a dominos restraunt. I still love to remember that day over and over again.

    I was so damn hungry that I would eat the whole table but having mercy on my digestive system I decided to order pizza only. The staff boy came within seconds to me because there were just one or two more people seated in the restaurant that day. My order was simply any veg pizza. He note that down in calligraphy, may be to stay occupied on a non busy day.

    Then arrived Jack Spinslaw, the most famous student of my grade, on the counter. He had a reputation of not indulging with girls. I wasn’t attracted to him at all, but somehow I found it interesting to watch him talking to the staff person on the counter. Strangely the staff boy pointed at me, and seemingly aggitated Jack too gave me a scary look. But this does not mean that I was afraid, I was just concious. I wanted to know his mind, though I ignored his attentions for that moment.

    He started walking towards me. Stopping right next to my table he then asked me with a smile,” hi! Can I have the pleasure of having your company?”

    I just wanted to shout out loud to him that, what does he actually wants from me. But those words remained stuck at the back of my tongue, all thanks to my polite upbringing. I replied, ” sure, I remember we are in the same school. ” he completed it saying,” and same grade”. And I further added, ” and we share same bus for home as well”.

    Then in a buttering manner he said,” by the way, I am flattered to know that the most beautiful girl of my school notices me”.

    I unexpectedly blushed feeling butterflies in my belly. Then started talking about each other and our families, it seemed like our talk will never end. We both were so comfortable with each other, I couldn’t have ever imagined that an introvert girl like me could pull a talk so much with out any external help. He was also surprised, as he told me the same thing about himself. But it was just the beginning we talked so much and didn’t found single thing which was uncommon about us apart from our genders. Apparently we were new best friends, and I was cherishing the fact that my best friend is so hot and famous.

    Then after 25 minutes of long waiting time, my pizza was ready. My name was called at the counter, so I got up to recieve the order. But Jack insisted to bring my order which I allowed with a bit of a struggle.

    When pizza reached my table I was about to drool. It’s aroma was the most desirable smell of the day. It was a beautiful extra cheese pizza with olive toppings which was one of my favorites. It looked as delicious as the chocolate fountain looked in the Charlie’s Chocolate Factory. I was looking at the pizza just like a lover lookes at his beloved on the romantic moon lit nights.

    Then I remembered I just made a new friend and as he is sharing my table, so it would be impolight if I do not ask him for the pizza. At the back of my head, there was this conflict going on, if I should eat the pizza alone or offer him to share. In the end my manners won over my greed. I asked him out of courtesy, “would you like to share… ?” but before I could complete my sentence, he already picked a giant slice and said ‘thankyou’ .

    Then I took one slice too. As I took 2 bites, he finished his slice and reached for the next slice. I wached that with a heavy heart. I rushed to finish my slice and took my next slice. But he picked a third by then. I hurriedly finished my own slice while in my head I was killing my new found friend with a sharp knife. I was so unhappy that he was about to eat that slice that I didn’t notice when I spilled a glass of water on the table. Table was possibly somewhat slant so water fell on his jeans and It almost looked like he peed his pants.

     

    He quickly stood up, but in that hurry he dropped his slice of pizza. I was felt sorry both for this pants and the pizza. And I felt like only way I could repay him is by offering him the last slice.

    He too laughed it off and assured me that he has taken it very lightly. Then we focused our attention to the last slice. He wanted me to have it. And I wanted him to have the privilege.

    We were feeling a bond between us in those precious moments. We almost started harbouring feelings for each other which we both admitted. Then he confessed that when he first arrived at my table, it was just to share the pizza because that was the last pizza for the day. I felt somewhat offended but admitted, I didn’t wanted him to have the pizza because I was feeling so hungry.

    After one minute of silence he started taunting me and blamed that I threw water deliberately on him. That was the point where I lost my politeness and decided to finish the pizza myself. But he stoped my hand in a very ungentlemanly manner. Then we started fighting over how dare he hold my hand like that. And the fight went on and on with a new topic of arguments every thirty seconds.

    It is funny to recall but at that moment our hands were on the cond damp slice and we were arguing like childhood besties. In unexpected turn of events, neither of us wanted to argue yet wanted to find a way to talk and not let the conversation die. Afterall we were just fighting over the last slice of pizza which was not even the topic of fight. But it brought us closer. And we found love over that pizza war.

  • Ruby and Aluka

    Ruby and Aluka

    To begin with, I want to assure you that angels don’t like earth. Infact earth is that darkest planet in the whole universe which fairies, angels, elfs and encantados etc. are all afraid of, because demons live on Earth. But one of the pretiest of their creed somehow stayed on earth. This is the tale of Ruby, the youngest angel of the fairyland and the only angel who made the other angels to tread on this much feared planet with a renewed perception about Earth and its people.

    This story is long forgotten by us, but the people of Sumadia speak about it quit often. In the ancient lands of diamond studded Sumadian kingdom, a young and handsome Sumadian king Aluka decided to build a moon tower. He was fascinated by tales of angels and always fancied what angels look like since his childhood. After he grew up to be an amazing king, he wanted to catch one for his future children, so that they could see in real, how angels look. He knew that the magical beings are almost always attracted by shining objects, so he prepared a grand plan. It was not an intangible idea, His highness was a famous architect himself, he single handedly started working on the moon tower project. The news spread like fire in the forest. On his call, tonnes and tonnes of men reached his kingdom, all were skilled craftsmen. Some came loaded in dinghies and others arrived to the shores in big ships. Many other kings also supported him and sent jewels and precious stones in return of the promise of acquiring an angel for themselves. Some of them only wanted to see angels in their lifetime, and some just presupposed to acquire the angels with force. But what ever were their thoughts, they all contributed with ample amout of dough and manpower for that masterpice of architecture.

    This is how with all the positive signs, the moon tower project got under way. King Aluka prepared such an amazing design that any angel which gets attracted towards it, will surely find a path inside but will never be able to get out again. No magic could break the trap as it was carved out of hardest and shiniest element on Earth. There were no loopholes in this perfect trap since the angel bait was good for magical beings but humans could easily walk in and out of the trap.

    Almost 20,000 men worked at one time to erect the tower in the middle of the castle. It was made with 24 carat gold and at the top was the stunning crescent moon full of bright shine reflecting from giant diamonds taking light from other heavenly bodies, which was made completely with layers and layers of precious gem stones. Although the moon tower mimicked the shine of moon, even then it shined brighter than all the celestial bodies seen in the vast sky. In two year time the whole tower was made and in the next two only the moon at the top of it, was built. Overall it was a success and turned out to be way better than expected.

    Many magical beings came attracted towards the newly built moon but as soon as they came to know that the light is coming from the dark realms of Earth, they would drift away instantly. News about this moon tower reached to the splended fairy kingdom as well, with warnings to avoid the moon at any cost. One day a band of angels passed from above the planet Earth. All were charmed by the cristal shine of the moon but minding the warnings associated with it they ignored the luring glitters of the moon and moved on, on thier path. But Rubi was so enthralled by the glitters and the luster that she hid herself behind a lily to keep looking into the moon. An hour passed gazing into the moon, then Ruby looked around, only to find out that her friends were nowhere near. She made a few calls to them but they were all gone far away. It was not that, she didn’t knew her way back home but she was deliberately looking to spend more time watching the magnificent moon.

    Then she thought for a minute, “it’s the right time to explore the moon, before others notice and comeback looking for me, I should go and take a closer look and nobody will ever know about it. “She flew near to the top, it was heavenly experience for her to be surrounded by such beautiful jewels of earth. Finding an opening she peeped in, there was a magnificent stairway adorned by roses made of precious gems. She then so badly wanted to walk on the steps that she ignored all the cautions and jumped inside the trap. Going down and down she realised, she was lost and no longer could find a way out. She became concious of her mistake and blamed herself for the miserable situation she was in. Her night passed crying and she fell asleep on the beautiful floor.

    Early morning king looked out of his window to observe the moon tower as his every day ritual. And he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw one lovely angel caught within his moon trap. It was a victory for him and he was over joyed to finally achieved his dreams. He rushed towards the tower to have a closer look at the angel before anyone else finds out about her. Hastily climbing to the top he stopped just near the angel and watched her enchanting face in her sleep and instantly fell in love with her. At that moment Ruby was in her pretiest form, her deep scarlet wings were wide open, her body was glittering with the reflection of diamonds, she was tired and sitting on the diamond studded floor wearing the finest pink ombre fabric. Which was throughly a breathtaking experience for the king.

    Hearing some noices around her Ruby wakes up, seeing the king staring at her, the angel was as horified, as the kind was enamored by seeing her beauty. To ease her fear introduced himself and assured her that he would never harm her. He explained his purpose of constructing the tower to her and made an offer to the sweet creature to stay in his kingdom forever. But the angel felt threatened and started weeping. Seeing her pitiful condition king decided to free the angel.

    He gave her a blanket to hide herself through the day and promised to return during night and show her the way out. Ruby stopped crying but she was in a fix if she should trust a human or not. As night fell other angels located her but noone dared to step inside the moon to save Ruby, instead they belittled her for defying rules. They tried to use their magic from out side but nothing worked. In the end feeling sorry for her misfortune they left ruby on her fate and went back to fairyland. Ruby at last decided to trust the human, as she had no other choice left with her and also because she had a soft corner in her heart for the kind king. She waited for Aluka for till late, but he did not come. Ruby hopelessly slept on the floor again cursing her fate. When the clock striked 1, king finally reached to Ruby’s help. He entred the moon and walked near the devine being. Although he wanted to watch the beautiful angel sleep but he recalled his promise of freeing her that night. He woke her up and asked her to trust him. Ruby accepted and held the king’s hand which he offered to her. Being a human king Aluka could see the way out very clearly. He escorted the angel out of the moon climbing each stair with somewhat hasitation. He knew he was about to lose his angel still he succumbed for his feeling of pure love towards her. Reaching the last stair he offered the angel to stay with him, this time more assertively then before and with laying bare his heart in front of the pink winged angel. Ruby looked at his face, she knew his proposal was genuine and his heart was pure but she didn’t wanted to commit the same mistake twice. She only accepted the help gracefully and denied his proposal on the grounds that angels can not love humankind.

    She walked past the king to get out of the diamond moon first. Breathing the fresh air around her she fluttered her wings and rose above the surface of moon. Now that she knew it was just a trap she couldn’t feel attracted towards it anymore. Thanking king Aluka, she waved goodbye to him once again. Aluka too selflessly let the angel return to her home with a sad smile over his face. She thanked the king and flew away.

    Many days passed and other kings were disappointed at how the promising trap failed terribly, because no one else knew about the angel except the king. Aluka was strongly criticised by them for squandering all the money on a useless moon tower which caught nothing except dust. For many days, king couldn’t sleep and eat properly. He was in love with the angel and missed her absence in his life. One night he looked at the moon tower to observe his masterpiece in memory of that beautiful angel he lost. But his happiness knew no bounds when he saw Ruby sitting at the staircase of the moon. He secretly went to meet her without letting anyone know.

    The angel was back to Earth only for the king. She said to him not to grieve any longer as she had come to stay. The king proposed again on his knees with the last diamond left in his kingdom, It was an ancestral ring of the royal family, which the angel accepted happily. Then the only barrier was that angels cannot marry a human. Since the king could not be made an angel, Ruby transformed herself into a human by giving up on her magical powers forever. They planned their wedding by the end of one weeks time. And till then everyday they longed for eachother.

    This made the lovers realize that no trap in the entire universe is as strong as the bound of love and nothing could be a better craft than a sincere heart. Factually despite the cleaver craftsmanship ofthe moon tower, it couldn’t catch the angel but the selfless love and kindness, which king offered to the angel, sincerely caught her heart. In the end, Ruby, the angel of fierce pink wings, stayed on Earth with her own wishes and all the angels came to attend her marriage to the king. In a weeks time when the wedding ceremonies were going on, the visitors on the brides side, explored the amazing trenches and caverns of earth and fell in love with the place. Along with the mesmarising beauty of Earth beautiful heart of noble men like king Aluka made angels to change their assumptions about the ‘Blue planet’ … Since then magical creatures sometimes visit and even inhabit the deep beautiful forests and beaches of Earth. Since then sending gifts to Earthlings became a known practice in fairyland. And many angels visit our lands till date, to bring gifts to the bloodlines of angels who married on this planet afterall. This is why children all over the world are asked to be kind and sweethearted, so that angels could recognise their hereditary traits in them and give them presents every now and then. And this is the sole reason why Sumanian people recite the advantures of Ruby and King Aluka to their children as bed time stories. Afterall who could guess who are the real heirs of angels amoung all the cute little angels born in form of human babies.

  • The Person Who Changed My Life

    The Person Who Changed My Life

    In your life you meet people who either make you or break you. You come across teachers who you either love and respect deeply, the teachers who help you understand life and not just academics; the one who are there for you. You also meet teachers who, themselves, are so troubled and you’d rather not interact with them once you’re done with your course year. I had the privilege to meet a teacher who changed my life – for the better. This person came in my life with a purpose to help me understand how the world works, how life works and how I can change my own life and do something with it. This person taught me that nobody will help me if I am not ready to help my own self. He taught me how to love and be loved. Somebody who never got tired of my immature problems and always took out time to explain me the formulas of life and not just chemistry.  So, this one’s to him, to the one who calmed me at my most vulnerable phase of life – my Science teacher.

    When I first met him, I did not know that this is the man who is going to change how I view my life. As a kid, I was really sad and disturbed. I constantly missed my father, who I had lost in a terrible train accident. When my grandpa passed away, things got even worse. I did not like living, as if I even knew what life was back at 13 years! I thought I wasn’t good enough and I wouldn’t be able to accomplish the dreams I had. Then, I started talking to my Math teacher in my coaching class.  An incredible and wise woman, who always heard me and encouraged me. She knew everything about me back then. Who was my celebrity crush, what was my favorite colour, how close I was to my mother, everything. I loved talking to her and she really did make me feel like I have a voice and I am heard. I told her about my crazy obsession with Justin Bieber and how I was actually in love with him. After that conversation, two or three days later, he (my teacher)  walks into my class and starts making really unfunny “Just IN case” jokes. I knew he was pulling my leg and honestly, his humor hasn’t improved ever since. After that incident, we started talking in class and the office. Then, I added him on Facebook and we would talk there. The conversations nothing more than “Hi, how are you, blah.”

    However, after a few months, my academic performance started dilapidating and it became a concern. That was when I started talking to sir about my problems and how I felt so alone sometimes. I think I told him too much about myself and he was there through it all. He really did become the father I always wished to have at some point in my life. Every time something went wrong, I always thought of him and how he would help me and oh, did he. He always told me, “Shweta, there is no trying. You either do it or you don’t,” and I never understood that. I always told him, “Look, I try to study instead of thinking about Justin Bieber, but I just cannot!” To which he’d reply, “You’re simply not doing it. The word ‘trying’ limits you so much that you just end up not doing it,” and I have this conversation registered in my head. Whenever I say, “I’m gonna try,” I quickly reframe it and say, “I’m gonna do it.” This is just one of the many lessons he has taught me. He made me realize that I did not “lose” my dad or my grandpa, they are right here, next to me, always. Oh, he was also my first dance in 10th grade when we went for a camp.

    So, when I say he changed my life and that he helped me develop into a wise, wonderful person, I mean it. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. He played a big part in my life and I’m forever grateful to him for that. In fact, he is still there for me. I could just call him and he will be right there (after at least 50 calls)  to help me through whatever problem I’m facing. However, the truth is, he has enabled me to solve my own problems and to believe in myself. I owe him a big one, and I hope, I really hope, one day I can give it all back to him. Till then, I hope this blog post and my prayers will suffice.

    Thank you so much for everything, sir. I love you and you really are the love of my life! Not even Justin is so close to my heart as you are (and I hope that makes you happy).

  • Brother’s Love 

    Brother’s Love 

    One day, Rose gets upsets and starts crying when she is sitting with her mother in the restaurant. She starts yelling and screaming that the scar on her face is not going away and she has to meet a boy in a day. Her mother asks her what happened, how you got this scar and also who is this boy. Her mother says, “I left the house for just two days and you got this.” Rose starts crying and hugs her mother. She starts telling her mother how did this scar come and all the torture she had to go through within these two days of her short life.

    She says, “I was coming from my friend’s house and James (her brother) from his friend’s house. He saw me in the lobby, ran towards the house, and closed the door. The handle of the door hit my head and I was bleeding, which I did not know. He pulled me inside my room and made me see my face. I was screaming, “Oh my god, blood.” You will not believe, he was standing there and laughing and rolling on the floor. Afterwards when I started crying, he bandaged me like a mother. I was so touched to see that mom.”

    Then, I was standing in the balcony and he came with a mug. The mug was full of cold water and he poured it on me. It was freezing outside and I was freezing too. I was yelling at him, “Are you out of your mind, stupid.” He ran inside and so did I. He came with a towel, threw me inside the bathroom, and locked it from outside. I was totally in belief that he was not my real brother and you have adopted either of us from an adoption house.

    I came outside of my room and started searching for the food on the dining table as to what I should eat. However, I smelt something fishy here as well. The sooner I sat on the chair I fell off the chair as per my estimation. Now, who will believe that he is my real brother? I asked him gently what his problem is. He replied with a grin, “YOU.” I lost my calm and asked him, “What do you get out of this?” He says with an innocent smile, “Happiness, I get happiness and relaxation after teasing you. You are the reason of my happiness and for your kind information I hate you to the moon and back.”

    I went to my bed and tried to sleep and here he comes with another annoying tactic. He came with a stereo and placed it inside my room and near my ears. He started playing EDM in my room when I was trying to fall asleep. At last, I had to beg him to stop playing music and let me sleep. I had to touch his feet and say that I am loser and he is a winner. Then only he left the room. The amount of I had to feel in these two days were a lot more than any other day.

    Today, when I was coming, a boy whistled at me and you will not imagine what happened next. He went straight towards him and hit him so hard that he could not move for a while. I was so happy to see that moment as I felt alive after so long in my life of two days. Her mother starts laughing and Rose felt a bit offended and shy at time.

    Everyone knows that every brother loves their sister to infinity and cares for them the most. Though, they will never accept the fact that they love their sisters.

    Running Out of Reasons – Chapter 12.

    *Rachel’s Point of View*

    I did not really speak to Luke at all after the day he said I don’t know myself. I felt anticipated about our future, our relationship. I know our relationship had a lot in store for us, but I wasn’t sure about how I would take in all of that. The list of why I shouldn’t date Luke was just getting more and more reasons, I really wished I’d stop doing that but I knew for a fact that I was acting too out of control for anything. I made Luke go insane and frustrated for about almost everything. It really sucked for me but that was how I am during relationships. Lost, scared, unsure. I never knew I was like that, but what I am, I am.

    “You okay?” Malcolm knocked at my desk pulling me out of my thoughts.

    “Fine,” I replied, “why?” I asked him.

    “You and Luke…” he trailed off, “offer me to have a seat,” he mocked.

    “Take a hint, I’m preparing next weeks schedule, go away,” I mocked him back.

    “Whatever,” he mumbled taking a seat next to me, “So you and Luke, what the fuck is up with you guys?”

    “I don’t know, Mal, its just,” I sighed, “I’m scared.” I admitted.

    “Why?”

    “Because…I don’t know, I don’t know a thing about him,” I said, annoyed.

    “You’re saying this because you met our friends, right?” He asked.

    “Yeah, like… you guys know so much about each other, and just.” I replied.

    “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, we’ve forgotten so much about each other, it doesn’t even matter, but people will never forget how you made them feel and you make Luke feel so much better, so much happier, can you not see that?”

    “I can, he makes me feel really wonderful too, but relationships don’t always last like that,”

    “Well, Rachel, you’re wrong. I know I’m not the genius and I don’t know shit about relationships, but its all about feelings, man. Its all about you feel more than what you know. Who the hell cares if he likes Pizza over Pasta, what matters is, he is willing to eat Pasta when he’s with you because you make him feel good, you make these little things don’t matter to him.”

    “You’re right, but he’s 17. I’m 19. By the time he turns 18, I’ll be 20. It will suck so much, he’ll be a teen when I’m 20, do you know how many problems we’re gonna have?”

    “That doesn’t matter, you know you love him, right? Of course you do! And stop looking for reasons how you shouldn’t hurt him, that only ends up hurting him more, dammit.” He snapped.

    “Why are you here?” I asked him.

    “To make a dumb person like you realize that my best friend is madly in love with you and so are you, so go kiss him and be with him!” He replied, agitated.

    “Its easy to say,” I replied, calmly this time, “the fans hate the fact that we’re together,”

    “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks, Rachel. The fans won’t like anyone, let it be you or the goddess – Katy Perry. They’re gonna be mean and rude and hateful towards all of them,” he replied, just as calm.

    The thing with Michael was, he would get worked up when the person he is talking to get worked up, he’s in this entire process of imitation, which wasn’t generally annoying, but sort of cute.

    “I love him, I love everything about him, I’m just scared,” I admitted.

    “Don’t be, he won’t eat you,” he chuckled as he thought about the dirty side of his statement, “look, Rachel, Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light, and I don’t know where the fuck I’m getting all of this, but this Luke, he doesn’t open up. Please don’t run away, he’s opened up quite a lot with you, trust me, he likes you. He loves you. He’s been terribly sick without you, you make him happy. And happy Luke is very rare, I don’t want him to lose this, positive light in his life. All you need to know is he loves you and you love him, nothing else matters.”He assured me.

    “You’re the best, Malcolm,” I smiled.

    “Or so I’ve been told,” he shrugged, “that was literally so hard, I actually memorized all of that,” he chuckled.

    “You’re so lame,” I laughed.

    ***

    “Luke?” I called out as I entered their bus.

    “He’s in his bunk,” Caleb told me, “you guys are fighting?” he asked.

    “No, we aren’t,” I smiled.

    I went up to his bunk and pulled the curtain out, he was laying there, aimlessly srtaring at practically the empty space above him, he flinched and looked at me and gave me a sad smile, “do we have to go somewhere?” he asked.

    “No,” I said simply, as I climbed into his bunk and layed next to him, “I wanted to see you,” I smiled.

    “Oh,” he turned over facing me, “hi.” he whispered.

    “Hey,” I replied, “I was thinking about us,”

    “Me too,” he coaxed.

    “Yeah? What were you thinking?” I asked.

    “That we’re two crazy people playing with fire,”

    “That’s right,” I chuckled and hugged him, then rested my head on his chest, “but we’re also two crazy people in love,” I looked up and he smiled at me, that beautiful smile which would make me forget everything and just make me feel alright, as cringe as it sounds, I was in love.

    Because, I loved Luke and I was sure, this time.

    Running Out of Reasons – Chapter 10

    *Rachel’s Point of View*

    The entire unit was in the arena, backstage of course. I was managing my so called punk rock band who were absolutely late all the time. I was a bit nervous today because I knew Lisa would be here and the fact that Luke was being so secretive about it was anticipating me more than anything.

    “5 seconds of summer!” I called out angrily this time, “You have to be performing in about 6 minutes!”

    Malcolm came out rushing, “Luke has got candy stuck in his hair!”

    “What?” I yelped, “You guys are going to be so late!”

    “But just help us!”

    “Where’s your stylist?” I asked, irritated.

    “She’s trying! Nothing is happening!”

    We both ran in, and I saw Luke sitting there frowning about how candy from his hair wouldn’t come out.

    “How did you do this?” I yelled.

    “Caleb and me were having a candy fight!” He explained.

    “Ugh,” I replied, agitated.

    “You’re in a bad mood, today…” Luke trailed off.

    “Really? I thought we were having a cute session earlier,” I frowned.

    “Whatever,” he muttered.

    It was unbelievable how he was reacting knowing that I’m on my job right now and I had to yell at them when it was needed.

    “Wear a goddamn snapback and go and perform! I don’t want to get fired!” I yelled really loud.

    “Fine! Stop yelling!” He got up in a second and rudely put on a snapback and the boys joined him to go to the stage.

    “Don’t mind him, he’ll be fine,” Malcolm assured me as all of them left.

    “Dating a guy you have to supervise can be pretty tough, yeah?” Lexie spoke, she was rearranging the changing room.

    “Pretty much, he’s so…ugh! One minute he’ll be so cute and nice and the other minute he starts yelling at me,” I frowned.

    “It’ll be fine, it seems like you’re the first serious relationship, he’ll get better.”

    That made me feel a bit better knowing how he had never felt about anyone like he thinks and feels about me. However me and Luke were, the thing that mattered was, we were together, Right?

    ——————————–

    “I love you, too!” Malcolm replied, as I clicked a picture of them.

    “Thank you for coming!” Caleb greeted her and then she left.

    It was really adorable to know how much they loved their fans really made me happy. Even after the thing a few fans tried on me, I chose to just get over it because I did not want Luke to feel like he was asked to choose between the two.

    “Oh my god!” A girl cheered as she walked in, “you guys were so good!”

    Caleb hugged her, “I’ve missed you so much!

    “Me too, Caleb. The fact that mine and Luke’s break up got between our friendship,” She sighed making the situation awkward.

    “Uh, yeah, anyway, how are you Lee?” Caleb smiled.

    So she was Lisa, and I could say her and Caleb had a close friendship. She seemed fine, I wonder what happened between her and Luke.

    They kept talking and I just stood there observing everything. Luke felt really awkward too and I assumed Malcolm didn’t like her because he was least interested.

    “And, Luke,” she took a deep breath, “whats up? How’s life?”

    “Just fine..” he shrugged, “by the way, Lisa, meet my girlfriend Rachel” he introduced me to her and I waved at her.

    “Hey!” She stared at me from head to toe and raised her eyebrow at me, “nice hair,”

    “Thanks” I replied.

    “Does she not smile?” She looked at me and then Luke and smiled sarcastically.

    “Depends on who I’m talking to,” I mocked her.

    I could say, I did not like her and I wasn’t even sorry for that.

    Running Out of Reasons – Chapter 9.

    *Rachel’s Point of view*

    “Luke, I have to go out and meet Lexie!” I yelled as I was sitting on the chair while he was dying my hair, I mean, helping me.

    “Your dye will take time!” he snapped.

    “But, Luke, I have a job” I kissed his nose by arching my back up at him.

    “What job?” he smirked, “you’re my damsel?”

    “Yuck,” I gagged at him.

    He rolled his eyes, “I don’t know why I feel like we’re different, I guess I have never loved someone..” he trailed off.

    “What do you mean?” I asked him, interested to hear him opening up about himself.

    “I had a girlfriend..” he started.

    “You’ve had like so many of them,” I replied.

    “No, no, this one was serious. Like, the first girlfriend,” he corrected me.

    “Oh,” I replied, knowing who he was talking about. Everyone knew her because Luke was so not over her and we were asked to not talk about her.

    “Yeah, like she was a mess, she kind of broke me,” he spoke in a low voice.

    “First love is always bad,” I said.

    “I know and after that its just been this way, you know? I never really took interest in knowing anyone. If I ever met a girl, it was just to flirt around,” he took a deep breath, “but with you its so different. I actually love talking to you, so much. I love laying beside you, hearing you breathe when you’re asleep. I don’t feel the need to tell you nice or sweet things so you end up in bed with me. I’m just myself with you,” he finally pour his feelings out.

    Me and Luke had been in a relationship for a month but we never really spoke about how we felt, it was more of just hanging out, falling asleep, watching movies and cuddling. It was the first time he had actually given me an account of how he really feels about me and I couldn’t help but smile, because I knew that I felt the same things for him and it was almost like a relief that I wasn’t the only one feeling so much for him when he wasn’t.

    “Luke, I really feel the same,” I started, “you know I had always thought how you weren’t good enough for me, but when we started dating I was exposed to a different side of you, a side I had never expected you to have. And I realized how I was the trouble maker and you weren’t. I have learned so much about you, from what you like at breakfast to how ironed do you want your clothes to be and I don’t want to stop. I want to know you more and more and fall in depths with whoever and however you are,”

    He smiled at me, this time it was more sincere and genuine, like I had never expected. It was smooth, he gave me time to adjust and then moved in rhythm with me. I was almost getting lost and involved in him, I wanted him, I needed him. He supported my back with his strong arms so I was totally laying comfortably on him, he kissed  my forehead. He stared into my eyes, “you’re so beautiful, you drive me crazy,” he mumbled.

    I lay my head on his chest, more cuddled this time, hearing his heart beat gave me jitters in my stomach. I never thought I fall in love with a guy younger to me, maybe that said a lot about my maturity. Because to be honest, I wasn’t much of a mature person too. At least not in love. I was immature and needy and annoying. It was almost abnormal how I start wanting more and more of the person I’m in love with. It wasn’t the mature love and I wasn’t sorry about it, because it was who I was. And I felt Luke could handle me because somewhere, he was a little abnormal too when it came to love, he was needy too and he was annoying, too. And when two needy people end up being together, I don’t think they would make each other feel needy, ever. But that’s what I thought, anyway. It doesn’t have to be true and I did not really care if it was false.

    “I feel we are going to get married,” Luke said, breaking the silence.

    “What?” I laughed at his cuteness.

    “I don’t know what I’m talking! But we’ll name our girl as Christine, okay?” he looked down at me and pecked my lips.

    “What if its a boy?” I asked him.

    “His name would be Davis,”

    “That sounds weird,”

    “Shut up!” he snapped at me.

    “Okay, okay,” I chuckled, “Now, leave I have to shower!” I say.

    As he gets up to leave, he stops and says, “hey,” he turned at me and held me in his arms, “after this little conversation, I think I’m sure that I love you.”

    I smiled at him, “I think I’m sure that I love you, too.”

    ———————————

    As I was about to get out of the bathroom with my new red and purple hair, I heard Malcolm talking about something so I stood there, because I couldn’t enter the room with just a towel around me because Luke wouldn’t like that, so I stood at the door waiting for him to go away.

    “Dude, Lisa is coming to the gig today,” Malcolm said with seriousness in his voice.

    Lisa was Luke’s ex girlfriend, I assumed because they always paired them as double L’s.

    “What the heck?” Luke replied, “how? Why does she even wanna come!”

    “I don’t know, I saw it on an update account. She posted a selfie with a ticket. I think she has meet and greet passes too?” Malcolm explained.

    “Ugh!” Luke sighed, “I don’t wanna see her face! And meet and greet? She’s totally gonna make a scene in front of Rachel!”

    “Don’t worry, we’ll handle it. I was just saying so you know, you’ll kind of act accordingly,”

    “Okay, thanks” Luke said, “Rachel shouldn’t know she’s coming, though,”

    “Of course!” Malcolm said and walked out.

    I was confused at him not telling me, was he hiding something that happened between them or was he just embarrassed about the way I acted last time at him staring at that girl’s legs. Most of all, Was Luke even over Lisa or he still had feelings for her?

  • Nasty Uncle

    Nasty Uncle

    Tina is a teenager who is very enthusiastic about life and believes in the ‘Mantra’ of universe conspires to make happen everything you in life. She looks at everything from a positive aura and makes surrounding people positive as well. She always circulates positive vibes to everyone. Everyone who is her friend comes to her for taking advice. However, when she is trouble or in a difficult situation it becomes hard for her to go to someone for help. First of all, people make fun of her and tease her instead of helping her. A teenage life includes various different aspects of life which are hard to discuss with parents.

    Tina is sitting in her room and relaxing. She receives a text message from an unknown number saying her legs look pretty in her red boxers. She is getting uncomfortable and chooses to ignore the text message. She starts doing her homework to distract herself. Nevertheless, she is unable to concentrate on her homework and tries hard to not react. She goes to the terrace and leaves her phone in her room. She practices yoga on the terrace. Unaware of the fact that someone has their eye on her. She goes on and feels very intoxicated.

    After having such good time doing yoga at terrace, she reaches her room with a gay mind. However, the sooner she reaches her mobile phone it has five new text messages. At first she hesitates to even look at those text messages. Later due to curiosity to know how bad it can go she looks at the message. She reads, “So sexy ass”, “Yoga suits you”, “I love your positions”, “Wear red boxers instead of lower, “I had a good time with you.” She feels disgust in every message. She feels damaged and sexually harassed without an assault. There is shame, disgust, hatred and anger in her eyes.

    She calls her best friend to share with her what is happening with her. However, when she calls her best friend she finds out that her best friend is crying. She asks her what has happened. Her best friend replies, “I am really sad and I broke up with my boyfriend.” Tina asks her why did you break up and her best friend replies, “He said that I am immature and cries over my broken nail every now and then.” Tina is in a bad mood and shouts on her and says, “What is wrong in that, he is correct and just grow up.” Tina cuts the call and starts crying.

    She usually does not cry as her positive attitude towards her life always keeps her happy and in a gay mood. She sits her room while doing nothing and over thinking. She is thinking of being raped while going to school or that person throws acid on her or clicks her naked pictures somehow and exposes her. She is so worried that she lost to keep the track of time. There is a knock on the door and the voice says, “Come down stairs the food is ready.” She comes back from her land of mishaps and says, “In a minute.”

    She goes down and as soon as she sits on the dining table the door bell rings. She rushes to open the door as she is expecting her cousins to meet her. She opens the door and here come her lovely cousins and her not so lovely uncle. Though, she greets him with pleasure and starts talking to her cousins right away. The dining table is so alive and freaking with laughter and happiness. When the dinner is over, she insists her cousins to stay with her as it has been so long.

    Both her cousins agree to stay and chat all night long. Her uncle also agrees to stay. Her uncle is a property dealer and quite free all the time. His business is not doing well since past two years when his wife died in an accident. Tina’s father tries to engage with him as he has seen him quite a few times around the red light area. Tina’s father is very worries as well because his brother’s daughter is also growing up as well as Tina. Tina’s uncle is a potential threat for young girls and even for Tina’s mother.

    Late at night Tina starts receiving disgusting messages again. She completely forgets about these messages while she was in the company of her cousins. Her brother snatches her phone. As to enquire what she is doing and why she is hiding her phone from them. He reads the text message and loses his mind. He asks her what is this and who is this person. She is clueless and starts crying. She hugs her brother and says, “I am receiving these messages from the evening and I do not know who this person is. I did not even reply and I am ignoring these messages. I do not want to involve in anything. I am very afraid of such things.”

    Her brother says, “Did you try to report this number or at least try to block this number from sending you messages.” Tina in a weak voice says, “This did not strike my mind at all. I miss being you. You always protect brother. Why do not you come back and live with me brother?” Tina’s brother says, “I am here little girl. I am always here to protect you sweetheart.”

    She goes downstairs to grab some water, snacks and sees that his uncle is sitting on the couch and using his phone. Her uncle did not notice her and she goes a little closer and sees that he is texting something to someone and then she notices something. She rushes upstairs without making noise and her heart pounding with worry and fear. She wants to scream but, she cannot scream. She tries to tell but, is unable to tell. She is freaking out. Her brother asks her that what is wrong with her.

    She gets her breath and tells his brother and sister that the person who is messaging me is no one else but their father. They both look at her in denial. She says, “Let me prove it to you.” They wake Tina’s father and explain everything to him. They then go downstairs and they call the number and Tina’s uncle’s phone starts to ring. They catch the criminal right away.
