I wander
place to place
in quest of the things I lost
in this world's rat race
wishing for a miracle
to give me back
the things I took for granted
to give me a reason
to keep on fighting
to come back stronger
everytime I break apart
to have a place where I belong
but now I know
everything I lost
has been there all along
for you have always been
my home!!

drop by drop
the rain
cleanses the Earth
quenching it's thirst
healing it's brokenness
rejuvenating it's soul
and mesmerized humans
simply wait
for someone
to bring along that kind of rain
never realizing
that they themselves
are
THE RAIN!!

To defeat every

obstacle

sadness

failure

pain

I

will rise again

like a phoenix from the ashes

to rebuild hope

to reunite with happiness

to overturn failures

to overcome pain

Yes I will rise again

Unrequited Love

Maybe...maybe it was not meant to be,
Maybe I was too occupied loving you,
that I turned blind eye to the reality,
Maybe I was foolish enough to dream about us,
for you are the moon and I, a mere star,
Maybe I couldn't show you all the love I had,
for I was saving my heart from the quagmire of your love,
Or maybe you knew how much I loved you,
and you felt it too,
Maybe we could have been together,
had I let you known how much deep my love was,
Maybe...maybe we could have started our story,
but the game of destiny played its card,
for here we are,
Maybe...almost together yet so far!

Scars - Part 5

Part 5 

As he watched the evening news, his smile widened and a sense of satisfaction engulfed his face.

“Everything is fair in love and hatred! Finally after 4 years, I got justice. It feels so good”, Harshad said to himself and walked away from the television screen.

Kapil and Aditi were also a part of Harshad’s gang along with Rekha and Trisha. Rekha and Trisha framed Harshad in the rape case and when Aditi gave the false statement against him he lost hope. His family’s death further broke him but he vowed to destroy all the people who destroyed his life. 

He came back to the city and got in touch with Aditi who by then had realized how Rekha and Trisha had brainwashed her to frame him.

He and Aditi together hatched the plan to kill Rekha. After which Aditi helped Harshad to fake his death by stealing an unclaimed dead body from the morgue to put him off the hook.

Getting into Trisha’s flat was no big deal, as Aditi had made the duplicate keys which helped them on the day of the murder, she made sure everyone in the building was asleep and they stealthily entered Trisha’s flat, he panicked when he saw her awake but was relieved once she went back to sleep. Not wanting to waste the opportunity he slashed her throat first and then wrists. She died within minutes. 

In the hurry to leave Aditi didn't notice her ring which had fallen off but Harshad did and he placed Aditi’s ring in a place from where it can be easily found and left.

                                                                                    

Even though Aditi had realized her mistake but it was too late for him to forgive her. When guilt-ridden Aditi contacted him, he played along to take revenge from all three of them and Aditi being naive didn't realize the same. 

Rekha and Trisha suffered for their sins and now was the turn of Aditi, her guilt was so big that she never told anyone about Harshad's involvement and the fact he was alive, not even to Kapil.

After Aditi’s sentencing, Harshad left the city and started a new life. True, his life never went back to normal, yet everyday he would take a new identity and visit places helping people on his way as he knew how hard life was being on the other side, living a nightmare no one knew about. 

Sometimes nightmares scar the lives they touch and stay on forever.

The End
