An Enigma yet to be Explored

...Continued from : An Aid to Uplift Her Spirits

No span of time, days, months or years is ample enough to acknowledge a person’s disposition. Sometimes we get what we want to see and hear what we want to listen. For her, he was an enigma yet to be explored while she, like an open book had made herself vulnerable to her reader. He read every page, every chapter of the book with much enthusiasm and just when he thought the end was near, a new chapter was added. The damage was done!

    The more she tried to understand him and his ways of dealing with things, the more she started understanding herself. She was all inquisitive and curious to perceive more about this person and she wouldn’t rest until she finds the answers to this riddle. He asks, “Why? Why do you want to know me? You cannot find the pieces of a wrecked ship in such a wide ocean. You build a new one. This is the new me!”  And she tries to convince him with a lie, “I don’t know, maybe because I consider you a friend and I could probably help you”, while deep inside she knew the answer. She has always been fascinated by mysteries.

     His deep and vehement eyes could hide any secret effortlessly and the more she tried to look into them, the more she found herself trapped inside them. Just like a restless kid who loses his way out while exploring a maze, even she had lost her way into those big and dark eyes and finding her way back was not easy. Even though he had a ridiculously strange laughter, his smile could easily compensate for all his foolish and moronic acts. Mesmerized by such a naïve smile, she always looked for reasons to make him smile. Reasons for which she sometimes had to abstain from her ‘self’ because, his smile was her euphoria.

For him, she was just another pretty girl damaged by her insecurities. He had seen plenty of them and an encounter with one more would do no harm.

An Aid to Uplift Her Spirits

So,I know, I have been away for a while for I was undergoing a writer's block lately. I had no idea what to write and even if I tried putting those words together, the result was a piece of crap. I realized I wanted to write something which was not my forte. What's the harm is trying something new, right? So, lets just say, I was busy writing a new chapter in my life. Enough said, I have finally come up with some small anecdotes which I plan to post every weekend until the chapter is closed. 

In life, we often stumble across such junctures, where we find ourselves standing on the grey line, struggling upon which colour to choose, the black or the white hue. We find ourselves cribbing over truckloads of problems even if these problems consists of your boyfriend/girlfriend not giving you the right kind of attention, your parents being over-protective and sometimes even your constipated stomach seems to be the biggest problem of your life.

    Well yes, she had also gone through some major difficulties in life. Lost a loved one permanently, went through tough times when she had no body by her side and a lot more. It seemed to her that she was the only one piled on with oodles of problems but there was one thing that kept her going. Faith. Believe. A belief that, it’s going to be worth it in the end, for such situations only make us stronger and stronger. It kept her going. She soon became a happier person and gradually turned herself into a people’s pleaser for she started finding her share of happiness in people around her.

         A happy go lucky girl who would do anything to make her peers happy meets a guy who only knows how to keep himself happy, for he believes that people find a reflection of their happiness in yours. Poles apart, right?

        They say people step into your life to teach you something. Quoting, “All the world’s a stage and all Men and Women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances.” Just like his other friends whom he merely considers pieces of entertainment in his life, even she turned a blind eye to these lines simply as some cliché verse taken from Shakespeare’s famous poem, ‘All the world’s a Stage’. He tries to elucidate the importance of these lines while she stands there, awestruck by the way he could make things clear to her which even she once refused to accept. Call it manoeuvring, diplomacy or whatever you want, but for her, he became an aid to uplift her spirits.
