Walk With Me!

‘Wait’, she gasped, nursing her bruised knee.. but he was far ahead of her. She tried to keep an eye on him so she doesn’t lose him in the sea of people.

She was tired. She was breathless. She wanted to rest.

She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, trying not to think about him for a while. Trying not to rush behind him all the time.

It had been a long journey. But it seemed that she hadn’t seen anything. She was missing out on so many things just to keep up with him.

He never stopped. He went on and on. He would never slow down to walk with her. Instead she would keep running behind him, to keep up.

Often she would tire out and fall behind. But he would hardly notice. Once I while he would stop and wait for her to catch up. She would get an impatient look everytime, when she looked for sympathy.

She wanted to go slow. She wanted to enjoy every bit of the journey. In between she would want to stop and admire the things along the road. A beautiful scenery or a vendor selling trinkets.

Now she couldn’t carry on. She had to take a decision and take it right now.


She opened her eyes slowly and looked for him. He was standing around the corner, impatiently waiting for her. She gathered all the strength that was left, turned her back towards him and started walking, slowly.

Heartless-2

Cold blooded..emotionless..were the adjectives everyone gave her. ‘You don’t know how to express yourself’, they would say. ‘You don’t have any love in you, you really are heartless.’ Even the ‘closet’ of her friends would complain. She would have no answers or explanations. That was the way she was. That day, like any other, she was alone at her apartment. The chaos outside did not bother her. The screams of help fell on dead ears. They found her sitting on her couch, reading a book. Everything in the room was placed neatly as if she had just cleaned it. Their sight did not bother her. Her face, like a stone, did not reveal any emotion. But deep inside, her stomach churned. She calmed herself by reminding herself what everyone said, she was heartless. They could do her no harm. She smiled. As they proceeded to rip her apart, a drop of tear fell. She did have a heart. ************************************************************************ You can read the first part here

LOST

She had been walking. For how long, even she did not remember. Walking in the woods, lost on the woods, she had no sense of direction, making it hard to find her way. She seemed to be circling around. The trees started to look familiar. She was little scared. Of the dark, no, but of the unknown. The darkness in fact comforted her. It let her hide her insecurities, her fear and her apprehensions. She crossed the same tree for the third time. She knew it was the same. Suddenly she realised that even though she was lost, she was at peace. She knew then, she did not want to leave. She had found her way. Her way was to remain lost.
