Two's Company, Three's Crowd: My entry for the Get Published contest
"Lovers
forget their loves
and list
their love to this
She, a
window flower
and
he, a winter breeze"
Ashima and Aman, a once
upon a time madly in love couple struggles to spend time with each other.
Inseparable since beginning, Ashima follows Aman wherever he goes,
whatever he wants. Today things have changed. Aman's love for Ashima takes
backseat to Aman's priority for his job which Ashima truly respect. In her own
words- "You make me proud, Aman". Her undying love
for Aman didn't let her go away from him. She understands his pressures and
never objects to his haywire schedule which also meant that he left her midway
during their Mehendi ceremony. "Don't worry, we will compensate for all
his time on wedding day with his presence and off course an exotic
honeymoon" she smiled and winked to her doubting guests.
Ashima now lives-in with
Aman. He got a special project in hand, deferring their wedding. Days
became months and months, year. In spite of everyone's wishes, she moved in
with him. "Marriage is union of two souls and I have found my
soulmate. Why worry what world says. As long as I know he loves me and I love
him. Wedding is just a tick in box which we shall do once his special
assignment is over". She replies.
It's their anniversary
(dating) and Ashima wanted to surprise him with a special candlelit dinner for
two. She came home early despite her busy schedule at work, buys his
favorite flowers, cooks all his favorite food, set a table with exotic candles
and wine glasses. She politely declines her colleagues' request to not depend
on Aman's arrival and celebrate evening with them at newly opened Bistro. "Two's company three's crowd. We will have lot of fun and you are not allowed".
Will Aman & Ashima
celebrate their special day together or once again his job will take
precedence over his love? Would Ashima's faith on her love will survive or
would she get disheartened by his absence? Does absence makes hearts grow
fonder or too much availability of a partner, diffuses the spark? Is it a test
of love or writing on wall for Ashima to move on or will love conquer all?
What makes this story
real- If it's love, its
real. A majority of us may relate to this story. The working professionals, the
live in partners, the mad in love couples who still hold the charm of old world
love- Love happens only once but stays on forever. Anyone who has loved and
seen love fading to hands of time, situations and priorities will relate to
this story. The story does not preach or judge but may reinstate our faith in
love, it's importance and challenges too.

Hi Ekta,
ReplyDeleteYes, a lot of people are opting in for the live-in relationship nowadays. It's become a fad, although it may have its pros and cons. Quite a thoughtful premise for the story. Waiting for the complete work.
Wish you luck on this endeavor. :)
