Trifecta : She held on !

She was overwhelmed with grief. Despite she tried really hard to not let the party fervor down. She had quite nicely masked her feelings from the moment she had entered the party-hall. She had made it all about him. Of course, he was the only one who mattered.

With the elegant black dress on and keeping herself busy entertaining the guests, she was doing everything in her power to be the best hostess. She had retained her typical wide, innocent smile but to manage the lies with her eyes was getting difficult with each passing moment. She kept dodging all those piercing gazes that sliced into her eyes. Amidst the noises, she could hear the footsteps of his husband coming towards her. All she wanted at that time was a hug from him to assure her that everything was going to be alright. In seconds’ matter, he was standing in front of her. But, she was confused when she saw the contempt on his face. She almost had all her senses arrested when she heard him saying, “Could you infect the party with any more of your gloom?” She was perplexed at his discretion. She could not believe! Had she let him down or he had just forgotten to look into her eyes which were telling her story of how much she wanted to just leave the place and be with him alone and cry and just cry till she falls asleep in his arms. Her bewilderment was still unanswered because all she wanted was to make him happy. Of course, he was the only one who mattered!

My life in the box

I live in a box. My world may seem strange to you. But, it’s not as bad as you think. It does have holes in it which lends me some fresh air from time-to-time. You may think I must be scared of the big-burly cat living on the outside but I am not. We are kind of best friends. I can listen to all the chatter from outside.  But now I can close my ears whenever I want to without anyone seeing. The holes, I must reveal now, ain’t my best friends either. They complicate things for me because I can’t feel the total darkness here because of them. Just when I am about to, rays of sun from these holes try to illuminate it down here for me as if I am some impotent chap, not capable of doing that on my own. They just don’t get it! So if they are not going to stop playing this naïve game, they are going to get a worthy opponent in me. And so in retrospect, I plastered few of them with black paper. But now, right this moment, I want to live out in the open again, enjoy the warmth...

Trifecta : Rain that saved her ! - Episode 3

It was a Saturday, a normal day-off for everybody else that she had gone to the office with the dying hope of her project meeting its deadline, that they actually met. Both have been working in the same offices for quite some time, more like a couple of years, even sitting in the adjacent cubicles but they had barely interacted; except from the occasional hi’s and the good mornings’. There was always a reluctance, a sheer hesitation in his eyes even when they would rise in order to wish her the same. To everybody, he was just another workaholic who would move out of his cubicle, make a beeline to the pantry, take coffee, and make another beeline back to his place. So, that day, just for company’s sake over lunch, she asked Vishal to join her. And since then, everything had started falling out of place. She had expected it to be a sour company, a dull conversation if at-all. Out of courtesy,they offered each other, Vidya offering him her self-made  matar-paneer  an...

Was she the luckiest?

Woke up just to find ‘twas a dream, Drenched in the ecstasy of loneliness. But he was nowhere to be found. Tears in her eyes, She knew she had defaulted. Again. How could she face them all without him? Selfish, had she been again? Not sure! Opened her windows. Desperately waiting for a  sun to dawn. But a mirage featured, Because  it was too good to be true. Sitting on the curb was her man, Her soulmate! Scampered she to apologize, Just to find him with his arms wide opened. Surprised, was she the luckiest?     __________________________________________________________ Link to Trifecta Homepage:  http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/   This is my response to the Trifecta weekly challenge, which is to write a 33 to 333-word response  using the following word/definition: ECSTASY  (noun):  trance;  especially : a mystic or prophetic trance
