Short Story [PART I]

It has been quite a while and i didn�t receive any call from her. I was getting irritated now. She was supposed to arrive an hour ago but there was no sign of her. I tried her number it said switched off. Her mum has called me at least twenty times and this was making me more pissed off. It was anything then my phone rang, i tell you one thing the moment my phone rang my heart started beating faster. I took my phone out and it was her call. It said �lavanya calling� and i let out a sigh of relief. �Hey where have you been?� i roared �I am about to reach. Where are you? Are you there at the station to pick me up?� she said �Yes i am.� I said and disconnected the call. I was still at my place and she was about to reach. She is gonna kill me now.

I am going to station; lavanya is coming, so in front of her behave like gentlem

Is suffering necessary in love?

�Is suffering necessary in love?� I asked her �Yes, it is. If there is suffering then its best to accept it because it won�t go away if you pretend it�s not there. If there is joy then its best to accept that too even though you are afraid it might end one day. Some people can only relate to life through sacrifice and renunciation.

I�d like to know if you love me as much as I love you. But I don�t have the courage to ask coz I know the answer would ruin my life.� I said �You want to know if the heart of a woman can contain enough love for more than one person.� She understood the gravity of the moment �Since that�s a less direct ques

A husband and wife who have been together for ten years. They used to make love every day, now they make love once a week but that doesn�t matter because there is also solidarity, mutual support, companionship. He feels sad when he has to have supper alone because she is working late. She hates it when he has to go away but accepts that it is part of his job. They feel that something is missing, but they are both grown-ups, they are both mature people and they know how important it is to keep their relationship stable, even if only for the children�s sake. They devote more and more time to work and to the children, they think less and less about their marriage. Everything appears to be going really well and there�s certainly no other man or woman in their lives. Yet they sense that something is wrong. They can�t quite put their finger on the problem. As time passes, they grow more and more dependent on each other; they are getting older; any opportunities to make a new life are vanishi
