Is Life Just a Pain?

It is said that life is not a bed of roses. It's a path full of thorns with nothing to protect your souls. Nobody could guess but could feel. And the fate connected to his life wanted him to experience the unexpected.

It feels like you don't have a choice at all. It's compulsory to walk down the lane even if it tears your skin apart, bleeds you to the point where you want nothing but to give in to the self consuming pain and fly away like a free bird to wherever you feel like, where nobody could catch you or bind you.

You have to keep walking. You need to or else watch your world fall apart right in front of your eyes. Like the fog vanishes in the presence of sunlight.

His mother always taught him that everyone have their shares of trials, struggles and pains that they all have to overcome or learn to live with them. They have to keep the hope that someone will always be there to save them from the struggle. She was wrong. No one can save anyone from these ramifications, from the agony. We have to deal with our pains and difficulties on our own to survive.

Life is hard but not impossible. But still his life had been merciful enough. There were some good parts too though. His rose. His angel. His sister. His Minnie. A beautiful rose, as a gift, in this garden of thorns.

He can't feel anything but grateful to his life, for once, for lending him the innocent angel straight from heaven. Just for him.

The person who is everything to me. The person whom I can't live without.The person whom I love most in this world. His heart recalled softly.

And the person whom you should hate from the bottom of your heart. The person who snatched away your everything. The person who made you an orphan. The person...

His mind was cut off by his heart, NOO!!

But it's the truth, the mind declared.

But it's not her fault, the heart contradicted softly with sadness.

Nothing soothes a soul like a fresh walk on the beach. This is what has brought Aarav Kapoor, early in the morning, on his 29th birthday here, to watch the sun rise expecting that the beautiful rays will at least cast some of its glow to his lonely life.

Aarav had always been attracted by beaches unlike Kairav who admired mountains. Strolling on the beach, watching the waves wash his legs sitting on the shore, was one of his favorite hobby. The serene calmness of the ocean were always able to calm down his raging thoughts. The light winds never failed to tend the burning pain in his heart. So, without a second thought, he slipped into the silky seat of his SUV and drived up to place where he loves to spent most of his time. While cooling off his scorching soul.

The mind replays what the heart can't delete. And Aarav could never be able to delete the corner of his heart which still hated his sister for snatching everything away from him even after trying desperately not to.

He and Kairav always wanted to have a baby sister who will sweetly call them Bhai. He was so happy when his mother told him that she was bringing a sweet angel just for him to play with. He still remembered the promise he gave to his mother that he will always protect his sister, no matter what.

He used to be so happy, dancing around his mother, doing naughty stunts, believing that one day, he will save his sister from their mother's scolding, when she will be here.

Suddenly, one day without any warning, everything fell apart. Such that he wanted nothing but to hate her sister from the core of his heart. He wanted to hurt her for ruining his everything.

But one look at her beautiful smiling face, her radiant face beaming at him, her glowing deep ocean like light blue eyes,  her small tiny hand clutching tightly at his little finger like she was holding her whole world at that moment. And he knew, it was late, too late to let her go. Because even before he could turn to have a look at her angelic innocent face, he was already in love with her, more than anything else in this world.
