The Hostess

-

He gave me a you-don't-have-to-do-this look when I kept a tray of fruits chopped and mug of soup on his bed. "Finish this quick. I've got some more work to do and I won't be around all the time to look after you." I ordered him as if I owned him. This was the third time that he has fallen sick in this season. Is he a kid? And has he ever told me about his conditions whenever this happens?
It was his roommate again who did the honors ofcourse. "He hasn't eaten anything since morning and now he looks like a stick of tree, so weak!" Told his roommate to me on call and that was why came by his place where he was lying on bed, doing nothing but irritate us all with his bad habit of taking things lightly as always. As I was leaving finally Mr. Viral Fever spoke "Stop treating me so well. I will get habitual to your pampering." I smiled, hearing him asking me to not worry about him. He has grown up enough to tell me what I should do and not enough to take care of himself. Such cuteness is rare. "I will stop doing all this once you start being a responsible person." I kissed him on his forehead and left for my event for which I was already late by an hour.
On my way I was smiling, thinking what if he actualy becomes a grown up and won't need me anymore. To whom can I tell that it is me who is habitual of being a hostess, not him being treated like a child of my own.
Else why would a sister search for a real brother in the one from her stepmom.

Sweet Lie

Dear love, I read somewhere that we shouldn't take decisions when we are sad, and I'm very sad right now so I'll not take any.  Although I really want to leave you alone. Things you said to me when you were drunk, I know you meant them.  I know that you respect me and care for me and you love me as well. But not like that. You'd cry the day we will part our ways,  you'd even cry just even thinking about it.  But you still won't love me back. You already said that this is because of you, not me. And that you have an image inside your head, this ideal image of your last love that you keep trying to find in every girl you meet. Unfortunately, I'm not her. I don't know if you'll find her or someone like her whom you can love confidently. I hope you do, I really hope you find what you are looking for. 'Cause if you don't then all this suffering will be for nothing.  I sometimes laugh at the way we are so perfectly wrong for each o...

Just For Fun.

There is no need of thinking about where to go what to do. As long as we are together, it's fun! We could be walking on busy roads just holding hands and talking; it'll be fun. We could be sitting on the sidewalk at night in the dark and do nothing; it'll be fun. We could go on drives in no specific direction snuggling and smiling; it'll be fun. We could be taking bites from each other's food, eating really bad junk food for no reason, going to super crowded places and then whining about privacy; it'll still be fun. We could fight over nothing and make no efforts or we could just talk like we are best friends since childhood. We could be sharing our favourites, genres, passions and disgraces. Making each other watch weird stuff and send stupid memes just to start a conversation, it'd be fun. We could feed stray cats and hang out with them, we could touch the dog with dirty hair make them follow us. We could get into conversations about how sp...

Every Night.

          At Am's when you just completed watching episodes of your favourite soap and you realise you're back into the real world again. Where there is nobody who would hold your arms and give a tight hug ask you to cuddle and close eyes until you start dreaming.          Unwillingly you get up move towards your bed hugging that one pillow that was your only listener when you cried about your heartbreak and the only witness of your blush when it all started initially. You realise that you're lonely outside and inside. You remember that one person who would listen to your whats and hows of the day but that person isn't there anymore in your life.           That person has left.                   And then you take your phone dial his number and erase it. You again give a second thought about calling him but you can't. With a suppressed feeling you lie do...
