"Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these." ― George Washington Carver

Love the enemies, it says in the scriptures. Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life- altering lessons. Patience and fortitude conquer all things. When you have self-knowledge, you're naturally calm and poised. You overcome obstacles with ease. They are part of your plan.

S P A C E
The next morning Manik was the first one to reach college. After his last night's conversation with Shreekant, he was a bit disturbed. He knew his dad loves him a lot but he had never been there for him when he needed his father the most. Last night he didn't want to hurt his feelings but it just happened. Somewhere he was hiding it deep down in his heart unconsciously that's why it came out like that.

Manik was in the jam room trying to play a tune but he could not. It seemed only his body was present there. His mind was lost somewhere else, then how could he concentrate here? 

The jam room door got opened and Nandini walked in. Manik was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't even realize her presence when she walked inside. Nandini too noticed him being lost. She moved near him and slowly wrapped her arms around his neck from behind. She placed her chin on his shoulder. Manik was startled with her touch at first. He looked at his side with a jerk. Nandini stood up.

Manik sighed in relief. He placed his guitar on the side. "Sorry, I didn't notice you. When did you come?" He asked, trying to put a smile.

Nandini came and stood just in front of him. "When you were too lost in your thoughts." She paused for a moment before speaking again. "Manik, are you still angry with me?" Her voice was low, it was reflecting how sad she was.

Manik nodded his head in no immediately and got up from his chair. He held her hands in between his. "No, Nandini, I am not angry with you. I can understand you didn't want me to be worried that's why you didn't say anything to me. It's fine." He caressed her face lovingly.

This time Nandini smiled too. She slowly placed her head on his chest and wrapped her hands around his waist. Manik too pulled her in his embrace. He was rubbing her back to calm her down. 

Suddenly Nandini broke the hug. Manik gave her a confused look asking what happened. She gestured for him to relax and wait for a second. She opened her bag and took out the sindoor box from her bag. Nandini held that in front of Manik. He smiled seeing it.

"Yesterday you didn't make me wear it. So, here it is. I don't want you to repeat that again. I love it when you do this." Nandini complained.

Manik smiled and nodded his head. He took a pinch of vermilion from the box. Nandini moved her hair a little and Manik placed the sindoor there. Then Nandini hid that again. 

"I promise it won't happen again." He said passing a beautiful smile to her and pecked on her forehead.

As Manik was done, the box was still in Nandini's hand. Before she could keep it back in her bag, someone barged inside making both of them shocked.

When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.
