Conversations: Love in Hatred

-
"Hi sweetheart."

"What are you doing here???? you scared the daylights out of me!!!!"

"Sorry...I just came to say I love you."

"But I hate you."

"I love you."

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you."

"Why honey?"

"I hate you because now I have to pay the bills and take care of finances. I hate you for forcing me to drive on highways and getting me to wash the car. For doing the rewiring in the house, repairing the taps. For letting me sit through whitewashes and distempering. I could go on and on and on. Now you understand why I hate you."

"I.... I am....very sorry."

"Sorry!!!! You expect me to forgive you???? You know very well that my calculations are weak. I still write six multiplied by six as twelve though my mind knows it is 36. Remember the accident I miraculously escaped???How can you forget? After all, it always gave you a reason to make fun of my driving skills. Since that day I had stopped driving and now, you are forcing me to take the car out knowing well that I panic every time a bus or truck zooms past.To top it, parking the car is another nightmare. You also know that with me being Ms Butter Fingers I always stayed away from electrical repairs fearing that I might get electrocuted!!! That besides, my dust allergy is now scaling new heights. And you know what is worse???"

"What?"

"In spite of having million reasons to hate you now, I still cant. You know why? Because every time I think of hating you, all the good things you did come to my mind and I start loving you even more!!!!"

"I am really sorry....I feel so helpless, especially after what happened."

"You better be sorry. I hate you but, I truly loved you then, love you now and always will for the rest of my life."

"You really mean it??? I really wish I could be there to help you. I feel so bad seeing you do things all alone."

"You are still unsure whether I meant what I said??? Of course I mean every word I said!!! And by the way.....you never went sweetheart."

Silence.

Grateful For A Moment

Sometimes, we end up getting what we badly need in life. It had been a long time since I took a break from work. Thanks to lockdown and proximity to office, I was one of the chosen few who relentlessly went to work. Days went by, months passed and yet, there I was busy meeting deadlines. Maybe, the fact that I was nearing burnout had reached God. Hence, it resulted in the most favourite moment of this week, a statement that I was to stay at home for 14 days. 14 days of bliss, 14 days of peace, 14 days of self development and relaxation.  For some people such a dictact would imply pain and torture. After all, who wants to leave the rat race and squander 14 previous days! Yet, for people like me (Yes, I know I am not alone!) these 14 days are a welcome break, a diversion from monotony.  So beginning today, it would be my endeavour to express my gratitude using prompts. Hence, based on today's prompt, let me describe... My favourite moment this week has been th

Apart Yet Together

I never knew I'd meet you, And that you'd look beyond my scars, Though we aren't meant to be, Time with you my happiest hours. Its been ages since I've felt this way, You touched corners I never knew, We are in two different worlds, Yet I am glad my world is you. Happy that I met you, We did meet for a reason, You are my earth I am your sky, Our paradise, our horizon. You've given me million reasons, To laugh, blush and smile, I've never felt this happy, You've made my life worthwhile. I could go on writing, Oh! So many things to say, You're etched in my soul, I'm glad we met this way. Its not easy to be us, You are wind and I am fire, But the feelings we have inside, Will cater for every desire. No matter where life takes us, Roads keeping us apart, Though separated by distance, Always connected at heart. Love can fade, hearts can break, But we are shore and the sea, Tog

Loved By A Writer

You are loved by a writer my love, You will remain alive for eons to come, in the hearts of lovers. You will be a beacon for those who wander in search of a muse, a symbol, that love is eternal. And till there is you, there is love, And a hope that for every ending, there is always a new beginning.
