Sip the love-A story

Frank Willis was seated in a hotel and was sipping a cup of coffee. A beautiful young woman came and sat opposite to him.She too ordered for a cup of coffee.

Her face seemed somewhat familiar to him and he was wondering where he had seen her before?

Anyways, she was just another stranger to be forgotten soon.He placed the empty cup on the table and looked at his bill.His hand reached for his back pocket of his trouser.There was an expression of shock in his face as he searched his other pockets as well.

'Did you lose something?' She asked, looking at him curiously.

'Yes…my wallet' He replied, looking at her.

'And do you expect me to pay your bill?' She asked.

'I would really be grateful if you could do that favour for me' He said.

'You’re good at it' She said.

'Good at what ?' He asked.

'Lying!' She said.

'Come on, miss, I am telling you the truth and you are…' He said.

'Alright, let me believe you for a while…tell me, what was the last good thing you had done in the recent past ? If I am convinced then I will pay your bill' She said.

'Fine, it was sometime back when I was driving in my car in the freeway that I saw a car accident.The driver of the car was a female and her head had hit the steering of the car.She was unconcious and her pulse rate was feeble.I didn’t think that she will make it….' He said.

'Yes, continue…' She said.

'Anyway, I wanted to give one best try to save her life, so I rushed her to the hospital and I went to see her the next day. But, they had discharged her. Actually, I went to give back this chain to her' He said, taking out a golden chain with a pendent from his coat pocket and showing it to her.

'Nice story…you are almost the hero of it' She said 'And did you steal it from her?'
'Come on, Miss' He said.

'Just kidding. Tell me, if you meet her again then what would you do?' She asked.

'Well, I would propose to her' Frank said.

'Then will you marry me?' She asked.

'What?' He asked, shocked.

'Well, I'm that woman whom you had saved that day' She said, pulling her hair up and showing the mark of the cut on the right side of her forehead.

'Oh, I'm so glad that I finally found you' He said.

They were about to leave when the waiter took a wallet from below the chair, where Frank had seated so long and gave it to him.

'Oh, thanks' Frank said ' It should have fallen down when I had pulled my handkerchief out of my pocket'

Only Frank knew that he had dropped it deliberately and she grinned thinking that she was not the woman whom he had saved that day.

Love ?

It's so strange that this small little emotion has the capability of making and breaking us at the same time.I am not any expert to comment about this unfathomable feeling but whatever i have penned down here, is completely based on my experiences.

When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form flowers and romantic moments become boring after a while and they only tend to appear on the surface of the relationship.

Under all this, the pillar of true love stands and that's our life. Love, not words, win arguments.Sometimes we expect far too much from the people around us and because no one can ever live up to those expectations, we are almost always disappointed.Wouldn't it be better if we just let go, and let people be who they are?

Then we'd be able to see them as they are -- with all their beauty and goodness in which we take joy and with all their faults which we can also see in ourselves.When we have put someone up on a pedestal, sculpturing them to fit our needs and desires by smoothing out the rough edges and creating new curves here and there, we cannot see the real person underneath our work.

All we see is the illusion we have created. That is denying the person's real identity and is disrespectful.It's much better for our friends and for ourselves if we drop our expectations and illusions and accept them just the way they are.Whether we realize it or not, everyone we know is very special to us. The most important thing to remember is... Always appreciate the friends that you have. A fight may come and go very easily but a friendship could last forever. The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it?

It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...

You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.

Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love!!!!! (untill i get one)
