and then a drop of tear
fell down her cheek
washing away the remaining
sliver of love..

hug was released..
nod was exchanged..

for the first time since the wedding
they understood each other
even without a single utterance

Two days had passed since my mom's dad passed away and he was 84. Yet his absence felt gloomy. I was cleaning his locker. Memories attached with each and every item in that locker got recollected and waved through my memory. Until I took out a worn out piece of paper. Something was printed on it yet most words were unclear. I watched closely and stumbled upon a couple of letters:

NSE: MRF , QUANTITY: 1000

I never knew that a couple of words can change one's life so drastically

I wish you could know
everytime
I visit your profile..

I wish you could know
how blankly I stare..

I wish you could know
how hard it is to bear..

"friendship" is a relationship that needs no adjectives..
Who is a friend who isn't "close"
Who is a friend who doesn't "care"
Who is a friend who isn't "indeed"

her Instagram post
with her husband

-

once I had self doubt
and then I looked at
myself from the eyes of
my MOM

-

she was hesitant,
yet she wanted to express..
she was shy,
yet she wanted a pour out..
so without telling anyone else,
even her closest friend,
she created a new account,
with an unidentifiable pen name..
poured her heart out
and clicked the post button,
setting it free into the wild void..
she knew for sure
that no one would notice..
yet she checked back in 5 minutes..
but there was a like..
from HIM!
