The Fated Couple - Chapter 4

 

Year 1949

Rose

11th November, 1955 was the day when me and John finally got married. It was one of my happiest moments of life. He got down on his knees with tears in his eyes, he proposed. Who know that this stalker, the guy who knew my more than I knew myself would be able to win my heart and make it his own.

There were many times, I felt John would hide a deep sorrow within himself and something about that would always make me nervous. It was truly strange, he would keep checking up on me every single day, my smallest of cough would send him into panic. It's had started to worry me.

One night I found John writing something in his journal, he had a sad aura arround him as if he were counting his days, there was a far away look in his eyes. I approched him,
"Are you okay? You seem a bit down, everything alright , can I help you in some way?"
"I'm fine just tired, you don't have to worry about anything, just promise me that you would not leave my side", he said with pleading eyes. I could't help but assure him that I was never going anywhere.

 However I had to know what was happening I needed to know he was okay so as soon as John went to bed. I searched our study to find his journal, I wanted to know why he looked so defeated. helpless and worried and once I did everything suddenly made sense...

The journal had our moments mapped into a timeline- of his past and my future. His accounts of us were simply beautiful. I got to the end of it where he had ciclred - time machine, fits of cough, dissapearance with a question mark and tear stains that marked the page. I didn't understand it that night but one day everything made sense. 

The day I coughed blood and the day I was diagonsed with pnemonia... I couldn't say this to John knowing of devasted he'll be and knowing that he would do anything to stop me from returning to in the past but I knew that it was time and if I don't go I would never be able to meet John again and I couldn't let that happen...

"Hey John, what are have you been hiding in the garage. You have practically been working on it for over years now"

"Uh.. it's nothing important. You don't have to worry about it"

"But it seems important to you why not show it to me"

"It was my dream once, my promise to someone", he looked me stright in my eyes,"Someday, I'll show when everthing over"

I knew pressuring him will only make him doubt me. So I decided against it. 

Before I knew it, the coughing fits had started to get worse and I knew it was time.

...

I woke up in the middle of the night, kissing John lightly on the forehead, I headed towards the garage. I wore the blue dress which was mentioned in the journal and wrote one final letter to my dear husband...

Celebrating Uniqueness

Today's blog is all about how unique everyone is! Can you believe in a crowd of 7.6 billion there is no one like you?! I know most of you would go like "Duh!". I know but tell me how many times have we pushed this tiny little fact under the rug.  In this age of competitiveness, all of us are trying to be someone or at least trying to surpass them but the first stop is no doubt, seeing yourself on par with this person, isn't it? You would say having an idol or an example set in front of us is actually what you call as an inspiration. I'm not denying that believe me, even I have my idols that I look up to but, instead of upholding their values and principles but deep down we just want to achieve the same accomplishments as the other or perhaps want to achieve even more. You see most of us are lost, we are just following people and trying to catch up and eventually we forget our own unique selves. How many of us have tried to put up a façade just to fit in. So many t...

Finding Happiness

Welcome to my very first blog. Considering I'm new to this world, I really hope you would pardon my mistakes. This will be a series of such blogs as we try to figure some of the essential truths of life. I hope you enjoy this journey.   Let's see what is this thing called as happiness is all about. I can tell you one thing for certain that each and everyone of us including me and you are after this feeling. So we work day and night, stressing ourselves, trying to find this emotion. In fact so much so that we end up dedicating our entire life for this cause. You might say-'No that's not right not all of us are running behind happiness. Everyone has their own needs'. To answer that question let me explain it to you this way. Sure people have different desires and ambitions but tell me something what is it are you trying to accomplish by fulfilling them? Got the answer? Yes that's what I am trying to say. You may have your own way sorted out to get to this state of...

Good or Bad

The above picture, most of you already know what this is. For those of you who are not aware, it is a symbol from Taoism. Don't get me wrong I'm not preaching a religion here but I am trying to get a point across. It depicts two kinds of energy- Yin and Yang. Yin stands for darkness or negative energy whereas Yang stands for light and positive energy. It symbolizes a perfect union between light and dark. The best part comes when you notice the little dots belonging to the opposite energy. Interpretation is pretty simple, in dark there is light and in light there is dark.  One thing that we all agree on is the fact that good and bad can't exists without the other. If there was no bad then there would have been no way to define the good. Similarly, if there was no good then bad would not have existed either. The point is each of us carry seeds of both. When the need arises we switch between them yet we often find ourselves being partial towards one of them.  Coming back to th...
