The Fated Couple - Chapter 5

Dear John,

I know you'll be very upset by the time you read this letter. But darling you know, no matter how many times I live this moment, I'll still make the same choice to help you with no regrets. Yes I have been detected with pneumonia and I don't have much time left however I want to spend my remaining time falling in love with you once again. So please do not come after me. In my last moments I'll think of you as I close my eyes, I'll relive each and every moment we've spent together. I want to thank you sincerely for the care you've showered on me all these years and I'm so sorry I couldn't understand your pain even after living with you for years. I wish I had reached out to you more, comforted your pain but alas it seems I was too late.

I don't want you see and suffer through the same pain twice. Please know that I'll always be with you. Be happy John, be happy for us.

-love

Rose

"..."

"Grandpa, so what happened to Rose? Where is the time machine, now?"

"She left and I could do nothing", John replied as a single drop of tear glided down his face.

"The machine returned empty after 3 days and in a fit of rage I broke the machine. What use was it to me?"

A sound tore through, "Mateo! You should not trouble him, let's go home".

"But mom I want to listen more to grandpa's story".

"He has Alzheimer's, how will he be able to tell you any story since, he won't remember anything. Just go home".

Mateo turned back one last time and saw John rocking back and forth in the forgoton

memories of his beloved Rose.

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...

Fly

I wonder if Icarus knew Would he fear falling And give up freedom Or would he still wish he could fly Imagine having wings Soring high above the ground Flying up and beyond Until everything becomes as tiny as a dot Escaping the gravity that pulls you down You rise higher and higher Where the earth screams beneath, 'Beware the fall' The wind brushing your cheecks A laugh escapes your lips 'Free at last', your lungs sigh With the taste of freedom as swwet as honey No noise from below reaches your ears When the listener becomes the speaker And have conversations deeper than the sea From up there you see the beauty Intricately designed just for you Every puzzle piece falls into its place As a grand plan gets revealed If I were him I would choose to fly The sun might burn my wings But in that moment I will be free. -Radha
