Over a cup of tea ...... (part 2)

(Part one of the story can be found here ) ..................................... After few awkward sentences like this, the talk turned the design of the house and immediately Arpita got into her professional mode and asked his requirements and any specific demands. Arjun appreciated her dedication to work and explained how he wanted his house to be. By the time he finished he saw that Arpita was making copious notes about his requirements and at the same time firing specific items required to her assistant. He waited for a few seconds for her to finish and when she finished she gave him a huge smile and said that it will be done. He was amazed at her confidence that she can carry off all his demands within such short time.  Arpita was amazed at the exact requirements he pointed out, like he painted a picture in front of her eyes as to what he needs. She was also amazed that although the whole house was to reflect modernity, savvy, classic black look, he needed h...

Over a cup of tea...... (Part 1)

(Ok This is not my normal short story... but somehow i couldn't make it short.. so the story is written in two parts.. am completing the second part yet.. hope you enjoy it as well as my short stories.. happy reading..) December’s misty morning had never felt so thick in Arjun’s life before. Driving his car through the thick fog was like the movement of thoughts in his depressed mind. Six years of relationship had lost its value, he never thought Vidya would turn out to be so selfish, mean and hard hearted. “Hard hearted” he gave a throaty laugh thinking “She doesn’t have a heart to harden”. He continued laughing, a big huge laugh, like he is trying to push out the hurt out of his heart. His car gave a lurch and slowed down and completely stopped in middle of no-where. Arjun stopped laughing and got out of his car, he never knew how to repair a car and he was not going to try now. He looked around himself, only to realize that he had absolutely no idea where he was and h...

Silence

Silence was something she associated with very well. She was a calm, patient person from the moment she opened her eyes. Through family, schools and college, silence was something everybody expected of her. The major part of her small world was silent and she loved it. Married to a soft and calm guy, gave her leave to be silent further in her life. She loved her routine silent life and didn’t want to change a thing in it. Silence had a capacity to soothe her, it had a depth to allure her. Until one day.... Sadvi was feeling nauseous and tired that day, her health was her strong point. She was a very very healthy person and she worked well to keep it like that. But that day was different. She didn’t want to dwell on that so she took a leave and took rest. Felt happy that Sourav wanted to stay back to look after her, but she shooed him away and took rest. Her condition didn’t improve the next day or the next day or the next day. On the fourth day she finally deci...

Last chance

“Did you hear what happened” “I heard, I was shocked... how did all this happen” “Oh, it was not a sudden death, after a long suffering dying was a relief actually” “But she was our baby” “Oh, look I think he is coming”   “Settle down everybody, I know you have heard a lot of rumours in recent times and you want a confirmation about the tragic events. It is with wounded heart and grave disappointment I have to announce today that, Humanity is no more. She was suffering from a long time and last night she finally drew her last breath. Humanity struggled a lot to be alive, but I regret to tell you that we could not save her” said Honesty with tears in his eyes. Kindness wiped her tears and asked in choked voice “How did this happen, I mean what is the cause of her death” Honesty took a moment to gather his wits and answered “Kindness you know that Humanity took birth from a part of all of us, and when we weakened, her death was the first causality” ...
