I don't love u anymore

As one grows up, in the Indian subcontinent, marriages are arranged. This story revolves around a boy, who was immature enough to get married, shoved into the rat race of work and earning money and before he could realise his goals in life clearly, he was put into an arranged marriage. As years go by, he though bodily matured, but emotionally still a boy gets involved into alcoholism, smoking, women, gambling. He took his arranged marriage as part of life's adjustments. I don't love you anymore is contradictory as he falls in love with his wife past 25 years of marriage, whereby he realises, friends who seemed friends actually, were enemies in disguise.He goes for rehabilitation, due to alcoholic tendencies but does not recover. He does not succeed in business world and feels all these bad things that are happening to him is because of his wife. She is the greatest bad luck in his life is what he feels. He never loved his wife, from the first day of marriage, took her just for sexual needs, made her his 24*7 secretary, beat her to pulp due to alcoholism and frustration. But she never left his side. As years go by, he sees his wife as the only strongest pillar of his life. So when at the age of 60, he thinks of telling her his true feelings for her, his wife says that she has moved on in life. Now that her children are grown up, she is tired of his bickering and fights. She confessed, I don't love u anymore and goes to enrol in an old age home, to live a life without any pain and emotional struggle. Even when you look at the book cover of two ducklings, here in this book, looking at opposite directions, this also has a lot of significance, as per the storyline. Both are in the same pail, as in marriage, at a young age, tied to the family, but both looking in opposite ways. One into family bond, taking care of in law's, children, daily grocery shopping, cooking and doing all household chores. The other has his life outward bound, partying around, drinks and friends, women, gambling, earning money and travelling distant lands, passports filled with visas of countries around the world, no strings attached to the family. As years fly by and things don't change in the scenario, the wife at old age walks out of marriage, to lead a life as per her choice, at 62 years, the man has now stabled up and looks forward to live his old age along with his wife, but here is the cliche, she simply walks out without looking behind to a life where she relentlessly always gave without any returns or favours asked. She walks towards an unknown voyage at old age where nobody expects anything from her and she does not expect anything from anyone, a house she would learn to call her home, an old age home..... This is my first attempt in weaving a story. I would appreciate for a genuine feedback from my supporters in the form of comments, votes and spirit stones. I was unwell for the past month and a half , so the speed has lessened, but I will not fail in weaving my thoughtsand pen them down at the earliest. Your genuine feedback will help spark my imagination.

Will make you mine

The next morning there was a huge quarrel at Ador's home. It was like a verbal battle of accusations thrown towards Ador from Unma. Ador understood her sibling's pain and humiliation. She promised Unma that if there is a next time, when Dev tries to meet her, she will make it very clear to him regarding how important Unma is to her. Ita and Kir were unhappy. It had been many years there was no quarrel in the house, that also due to an outside element, a boy. Ador too felt low and closed herself in the room for introspection of the situation, her past life and her present.

During her college years, there was a guy called Jeev, who proposed love to her during her second year of college. It was her first attempt in finding out about love and infatuation. She had asked for some time to ponder on the matters related to heart. Jeev had agreed, since he knew Ador would agree. They started off being good friends first and when she used to meet him without any inhibitions, he took the next step forward. In the valleys of Sikkim, when they went for their first official date, they walked hand in hand, feeling all silly. Ador was blushing and Jeev was smiling foolishly from ear to ear. They ended the date with mutton dimsums. a delicacy of the hills. Then came half yearly examinations and both were busy studying. Ador always wanted to excel in studies, so during study break, they did not meet. Post the examinations both Jeev and Ador met, they were excited that the exams were over, and it was time for Ador to accept him as a part of life. As usual they met in a restaurant serving mutton dimsums, Ador's favourite, during dusk. Prior to eating, Jeev started being all romantic and gave Ador a rose. She was enjoying his pampering. Then suddenly he pulled her close and kissed her on the lips. It was a small peck first, then when Ador did not stop him, he started to get deep. He planted a wet kiss. Ador had her eyes closed during the first peck. but when his saliva touched her, she felt all jittery, vomitting types. She stopped him, then and there and went to the washroom to clean her mouth. When she came back, she was all furious. Why did he use saliva??? "eeks" ,she said. Jeev felt hurt, he said, he too was unaware that he was full of saliva. She called it quits. Ador was angry, she went back to the girls hostel. Jeev went back to his , and was sad and gloomy. The next morning, at college a rumour spread that Ador was a lesbian.

First it was just a talk between classmates, then it spread to seniors and juniors of college. Ador became furious , when she came to know about what her friends were saying behind her back, and had a verbal spat with Jeev in front of the whole class, post which she despised the company of guys. Two and a half years passed this way and she left college with good grades, back home and then to the plains of Bengal in search of a job.

Though she had a lot of male colleagues at work, but she kept her distance from them. Then Dev happened. She felt hurt when post their first meet, they were not in touch. Now, though Dev made the first move and kissed her, and though she did not feel a thing like those described in romantic novels called love, she wanted to give herself a chance. Ador wanted to make Dev, only hers. The word "lesbian" was ringing in her ears. She wanted to get out from the shackles of her past. " I will make you, mine, Dev" she promised herself.
