Rakhi

He was excited to meet her,
Prepared the whole day to be special for her,
Mom & Dad were really happy too,
as she's coming home after very long time.
Thought to welcome her in a traditional way.
Also, he'll present her favorite black dress.
Oh, seems like,
The flight delayed for one hour.
Happiness touched the ceiling
when the door bell rings,
Two officers with her coffin finally reached.
He opened it with little wet eyes.
While giving Colonel Sister, a rakhi gift,
he noticed, she too brought a rakhi
hidden in her tight fist.

School Day Love Story

That Morning:
"Get up boy, otherwise you'll be late
for your school!! Look your best friend is here,
she is already ready to go!!",
Mom screamed same as the other days.
And, his laziness controlled him
with his so-called excuses.
Oh no, he missed the bus again.
But, the news channel captured
the Saddest Incident within no minute,
"The School Bus met with an accident
this morning, many children died,
due to the small mistake of mine
- Driver confessed in his last phrase."
YES, That Morning his laziness saved his life
& that Incident took his girlfriend's life.

Two Soldiers

She holding bullets in her body, cried,
while seeing her husband lying on sand.
It's about to be midnight
Even, the stars experienced
the tears for the first time.
But, that moment,
She killed her smile when the moon said,
"He is no more, my child,
Take him with your soul to my land,
where the world is all mine."
Everyday, on the border side,
the only couple fighting for the independence
died in the land of their nation
will now live peacefully in the heaven.

Friendship

We hugged in the airport
after no meetings in 2 months.
Walked down the streets
with my fingers crossing his.
He looked at me smiling, while
watching our favorite movie.
Our date turned to be special in coffee treat,
admiring the rain abutting the sea,
he slowly pulled & kissed me.
A lady ordering snacks with hot tea,
watches us, and her look was enough
to express the words for two of us.
While then, Man on the other side
of the desk pointed us and said to her,
"Mute girl and stone deaf boy,
proved that friendship is more important,
even after 7 years of married life."

The Perfect Two

Yes, we met.
Still, he's a known public figure.
And, I'm as usual a
middle class woman, but married now.
Brain with another query,
He doesn't look like a married man!!
I tried to hide my engagement ring.
He tried to rotate the ring,
I gifted him, opposite to me.
After some formal talks, he said,
"Are you happy my princ...
I mean, are you happy?"
I replied positively
catching his swallowed word.
One question of his just
blocked my heartbeat,
"Why you get married to..?"
I interrupted him & said in a tough tone,
(hitting his stomach)
"Because, I know,
nobody can handle you except me,
as your princess, & yes, your wife too.
There's no media now, stop acting here, Stupid!!!"

The Bride

It's the time to meet him.
He said he'll pick me up
from the main door of my house.
Of course, I'm excited,
fully ready in the white long dress.
Oh, he's here, looking
damn handsome in white outfit.
And see, coincidence repeated,
we wore the same color together again.
Finally, reached the church.
Seems like,
Father was waiting for so long time.
Yes, there I realized,
We look perfect together
when we walked in the red carpet
crossing our arms with the bright smile.
And, for me,
he is the super perfect guy,
but unfortunately, I'm not his bride.

Another Love Story

After 2 years,
She adopted a Muslim boy child.
He adopted a Hindu girl child.
Kids at the age of 15,
fall in love with the
common love story of
their respective mom & dad.
Later, the little ones
decided to be with each other.
The last line of the
wedding card said,
"Soul mates are
going to be together
at the age of 35-40."

Finally, for the rest of their life,
his Uncle & her Aunt
will be known as
kid's Abbu & Maa.

First Heartbreak

It all started with a friend request,
but no talking, only stalking.
Then, a small message request
with lots of compliments.
There I know
he loved the black colour on me.
Two line conversations in two months only,
He tried everything to convince me.
It was the moment, I started liking him.
Friend to Best Friend &
Messenger to Whatsapp..
Waiting for his texts, and calls..
I fall in love for the first time,
when he said I'm his only princess.
But, my heart broke in
the last line of the conversation says,
he'll not be my prince in future.

Fall In Love

Hey, you know what,
She's in love again..
Her eyes seems to be more passionate..
Cheeks blushed more than before..
Tears went for a long vacation..
She looks to be more bold and beautiful..
And this time,
it seems to be forever as a life partner.
Oh, adorable become a small word for her now.
Well, only she knew,
This time, love is not for a guy,
It's her dream
who brought happiness back in her life,
made her alive, one more time and,
gave one reason to survive.

The Love For Her

Oh love,
It's True, I'm staying with you,
Happiest thing ever
happened to me is you.
But, I'm sorry dear, from Last 2 weeks,
my mind is thinking about the girl who
become the part of my life after you.
And, I've decided
to spend the rest of my life with her.
Haven't told you before, thought
it'll be fine afterwards.
But, now I can't control my emotions,
I wanna say that,
our Doctor said,
We'll have a girl child after two months.

He Cried

Yes, He cried...
When he saw the tears
rolling from his mother's eyes,
When the expensive wallet
of his dad had no dollars some time,
When he left his wife alone
for years and years.
True, his eyes kept quite
Because his heart roared the pain.
He is,
the Man not so pulpy
but too brawny to hide
his grieve everytime.
the Man who sacrifices his feelings
to fight in the border side.
Yes, He is the Military Man.

The Last Day - A Microtale.

12:00 am - The last day celebration

Floor with thousands of rose petals
forming a single heart decorated with candles,
says the room.

They spend their last night together.

From the next morning,
"two cute souls" will be the "perfect married couple".

Nickname

Little eyes with tiny drops,
A baby in the mall found to be lost,
Childishly,
"Hey Lil girl, where's your father?"
While, following her fingertips,
She ran to catch a man's finger.
I found nothing new in her daddy's face.
Still, my heart cried
after such a long break.
In a huge relief,
the daughter was in his arms.
I turned around and moved on.
Subsequently,
I wasn't surprised after noticing
her ID card in my hand says,
my nickname is the little girl's name,
Because,
his nickname is my son's name.

Long Distance Relationship

Long walks & Long talks,
Meetings on no fixed routines,
Celebration starts one week early,
Surprises stored in the bucket lists,
Memories collected in hidden gallery,
Moments got captured & recalled
in Birthdays and Anniversaries,
Face Filters included in our family,
Love chats & audio files create
zero space in a phone memory.
Video calls allowed us to be naughty,
but, secret screenshots are
taken to remember it later,
Call recordings are the new playlist,
Soft voice in front of families changes to
noisy laugh when the house is empty.
True, now
phones & laptops are
the only mutual companion.

The Only Eyes - A Microtale.

Friend :
"Waow, your girl is looking adorable after she got her sight back."

"Really!! Is she in Black long dress with pointed heels & no specks with loose hairs? This makes her look adorable only."

Friend :
"OMG, but, you can't see her, & she's exactly the same, how do you know that, man?"

"Because, she got my eyes."

It's her birthday

Dear,
You left me
when I need you more
Never replied to my texts or calls
Now, you're not even asking
"Are you alright,
Or busy working too late at night."
I know,
you'll be unfurling your lame jokes
all over the Universe,
which will annoy The God too.
Well, it's her 5th Birthday today.
Birthday Girl :
"Mom, what's you doing?"

"Writing a letter baby,
to your daddy
staying in heaven peacefully",
she with a smile.

Abroad - A Microtale.

I know,
His flight going to Abroad
will never return to
his place in my heart.

Because,
Next day,
a man of my daddy's choice
is going to marry me.

Apart

Baby, it's very hard
to stand in a slippery toe.
But, this pain is bearable
than you gave me.
You said, I'm not capable,
I know, I can handle.
Difference is,
I'm happy to dance in all forms
& you seems to be lonely
in any business world.
Yes, it's difficult
to swallow the fact that,
our life is changed from
extreme love to
nothing left in between us.

Dance

It looks beautiful.
You & me on opposite side
came closer with little pace in size.
You said, I look adorable in black dress
Slowly,
one hand of yours on my waist
and other crossing my fingers.
You decided to have a move
in a romantic music scale.
You made me so comfortable
like nobody else.
Oh, I was lost for few seconds.
Abruptly, an amorous sound turned
into applaud & hooting.
There I come to know,
our performance is ending
& love is beginning.
