The Silent Lover!!

It feels so good to write after so long... Almost gives me a feeling similar to Kashaf from Zindagi Gulzar Hai.. a beautifully raw serial that aired during my teenage days on Zee Zindagi channel... It did have some drama but the vibe and narration of the characters formulated the main essence of the show.. Zaroon, the male protagonist, loved to write about things, about people he met, about his family and about himself... he used to write in a digital diary. On the other hand.. Kashaf, the female protagonist, well she was a hard soul who wrote in her notebook diary about how God had been unfair to her... to give her a father who never loved the daughters and married another woman to bear him a son.. to be the eldest and take on the responsibilities of younger siblings and an ageing mother.. to live with whatever could be available to sustain her family of 4... Zaroon and Kashaf both had heaps of differences amongst them but writing down their thoughts in their respective diaries was a common thing the two shared...they learned to focus on their similarities rather than differences and that's what led to their happily ever after!! I have watched so many romantic movies and serials that the image of my special one, got silently created in my mind even without my notice. Common... I know we all have.. we must have been day dreaming of meeting our special someone in a special way just like a Bollywood film.. where the dupatta would get stuck in the watch... blah blah.. Haven't we? Over the years we have silently judged eligible people of the other gender hoping to find out the one we have been waiting for or the one who matches to our expectations.. I have never really appreciated the marriage thing myself.. Seen too many close people suffering from marriages just because they cannot drop out of their relations.. possibly thinking it's too late for them to decide... Or they think of what the so called society will tell their parents if they divorced.. or how the kids will suffer from the thought of divorce.. Marriage in itself is a very complicated thing... You have to be careful not to rush to decide your life partner.. everyone tries to impress in the initial meetings.. who would want to show their negative side to others? No One.. including ME!! I ain't any exception.. But then, I have also seen a few couples who have been rock solid together through thick and thin.. who have motivated each other in their respective difficult times... I have seen an old man carefully plucking a flower and give it to his aged wife who smiled gleefully like a child.. I looked at them and thought how many times they must have been challenged by circumstances.. by situations, where they had to trust the other even if the conditions were against them... Yet there they were.. giggling over some joke that I might have not felt humorous.. may be the old lady too might not have thought it as humorous.. yet she might have laughed thinking.. her laugh cheered her husband... Isn't this love? It made me realize.. the definition of love is different for every single person on this planet.. to some.. living it even for a moment with the other person seems enough for a lifetime.. while for some.. even a lifetime feels less to be spent with their partner!! Well both seem equally true and correct in their own ways.. and that's what formed the basis of LOVE for me..the definition if you ask me... TO NOT JUDGE ANYBODY ON WHAT THEIR DEFINITION OF LOVE IS!! ❤️😊
