Like a hook through a trout’s mouth, the mingled music of piano and cello captivated me, yanking me towards the closed doors before I could make a conscious decision to move. The sound of soft music pulled me out of the hypnotic spell, and as soon as I peeped through the door, my breath whooshed out of my body. My eyes clicked on that porcelain doll face, and the world around us froze for the moment. It seemed as if I was looking at her through my camera lens, zoomed in all the way, the world pausing for that tiny span of time between the opening and closing of the shutter. Her beauty blinded me completely, and for a moment, I thought I was dreaming.
Maybe it’s one-sided, but still, it’s love... Maybe you don’t love me, but I do. Yeah, this is the one and only truth I am in one-sided love with you.
Anayra
Listening and watching fairy tales somewhere reinforced in my mind that the idea of love is always followed by the beautiful ever-after. Little did I know, no matter how many fairy tales we construct of happily-ever-after, real life insists on intruding. My life as Anayra Singh Shekhawat- The famous Ice Princess from the house of Shekhawats, was not better than that parrot in a golden cage. My friends had even nicknamed me Elsa - poised, regal, reserved, and shut from the outside world. I was a prisoner of the so-called tradition, values and moral codes written differently for men and women.
I galloped towards a future with him to make my family happy, but there was something else crouching in the back of my mind: If I agree to this, it would be the end of my dream… end of me as a woman. Something was whispering to me- ‘This is your last chance.’
Abhimanyu & Itisha
Despite all the love, every relationship also needs trust. A marriage is built on the foundation of trust and loyalty- the ultimate love language. If you cannot offer your trust in a relationship, the other person feels unloved and betrayed. Hasn’t someone rightly said, ‘Betrayal always starts with small secrets? It hits hard, and that’s when the relationship starts withering away. The funniest thing about betrayal is that it is done by the one we could never expect.
