Allure of Darkness!

1. Love Debate!

Marona's POV

I am always amused at the thought of how life can turn out to be beautiful and vibrant when you are given love and care selflessly.
Now look at the little plant which has bloomed with flowers in a tiny pot. I feel so satisfied when I see that love has so much power. 
It gives life, it gives meaning to everything, it gives you happiness and peace.

I couldn't stop smiling at the bloomed flowers. It's making my house fragrant. I have many plants in the house.
It gives me peace of mind and happiness when I take care of plants.

Whenever I look at my house, it gives me the feeling that I have accomplished my goals in life. A beautiful house where I can have a cup of coffee without any disturbance, whenever I look around I see only love and peace.

I feel blessed!

"Marona, breakfast is ready."
Della called me from the kitchen.

Della is my house help, it's been six months and she has become a great friend of mine. She is a lovely mid age woman with a cute voice and gives me a sense of motherly aura.
And also she is my personal diary, she is a great listener and advisor.

"Yes, boss... Coming!"
I placed the water spray down and went to the dining table.
"Wow! It's smelling delicious..."
Della is an amazing cook, she never fails to make my mouth water with her delicious food.
She is definitely one of the gems in my life.

"Come have breakfast with me."
She smiled at my words and sat beside me while shaking her head in amusement.
"You should learn to eat alone, Marona... What if I am not there some day?"

I laughed off her words.
"Then I'll take you on Video call... But eating alone is boring..."

"You never know what kind of turns life might take."
She grabbed the apple from the basket.

"Again negative talk, Della... Stay happy, positive and smile..."
Whenever I talk to her, something negative comes out of her mouth but I can understand that there might be some reasons behind it. When the person is dealing with something unhealed then it's natural to get engulfed by bitter thoughts and words.

She was busy cutting an apple, her lips set into this line and wrinkles on forehead became prominent.
"Life is not the same for everyone, Marona. I sometimes get lost in my sad life... I have already lived most of my life but whenever I see you, I feel that we should have met before. You might have become my inspiration to live a better life... How do you always find something positive in every situation? How does your mind work in difficult situations too? How do you manage to survive the difficulties? I adore that but it also confuses me."
She placed a chopped apple on my plate.

I smiled and placed some back in her plate.
"Because this is life, Della... I am a psychiatrist, on a daily basis I deal with people who are struggling to survive for the next day. We are blessed to have a healthy life because people out there are lucky like us. Isn't that enough reason to be happy and smile for a beautiful life..."

She smiled.
"Everyone has different views and reasons to get that life. Not everyone can be as loving and caring as you... And not everyone gives importance to love like you do... Love is a myth, Marona."

I shrugged at her. Della and I always debate on love topics.
"I have seen my many patients heal with love and care... What is your point?"

She chuckled.
"Love is not always good and does not always come in white horse, which will fill your life with sunshine and flowers, giggles and laughs, and everything which will protect your smile and peace... Sometimes the love comes in black shadows, covered in black cloak like a grim ripper, it fills your life with thorns and pain, giggles might turn into tears and smile into cries... Love is not always a hero..."
