Love tricks

It was another murky day with intoxication. Among the busy citizens of Mumbai, I’m staring at a huge building which makes my glimpse more nervous.
Mumbai some call it the city of dreams and dust. I knew that it was the only place which can make my hopes succeed.
The only hope the only dream I had was, becoming an author, an accomplished author. Though I was artistic since my child hood, No one owed me a single chance to bring them to the world. I badly needed to make my illustrations famous. So after a huge struggle, my only decision was to chase my dreams. Only Mumbai had the chance of giving me handful of opportunities to make my dreams come true. So like many others I came to Mumbai with dozens of dreams.
From the beginning I had to struggle in-order to make some space in the new city for my creations. But with the unbearable out comes, everything I wrote seemed to be very lacking and loquacious.

But suddenly I got a countless chance to prove my passion towards writing through a magazine named Thoughts!
“You have a rare talent, I’m impressed” Danush the editor of thoughts uttered while narrowing his eyes towards the collection of my writings. He was a tall decent person with a tight intelligent look.
“Thank you sir, I’m really grateful” I said with excitement
“Ah what’s your name? I just forgot?”
“Sara, Sara Prakash”
“Sara your name is beautiful, So you can start your work from tomorrow” He gave me a soft smile and diverted his glance in to my writings again.
“Thanks again sir” It was the only word I had to utter every time with the unbearable happiness which haunted my whole soul.

Everything was to change in my life with the opportunity given by the thoughts magazine. I tore up all the negative thoughts and began writing. Day by day my writings became more creative and attractive which made the editor impress. In just few months I began to feel love towards the Mumbai city so faster! Though it was different from my usual life style, I couldn’t help adapting to the Mumbai city life.
Everything around me was so familiar and all of the things were like my own.
It was really exciting to work with the Thoughts crew and I really enjoyed their company and especially the editor Danush was really attractive and pleasant.
The most pleasures surprise was the bunches of appreciations I received for my articles.
One evening unexpectedly I had to face a fresh new episode in my life…
“Sara, you have done a great job since for far. So I decided to owe you a separate column in the magazine. It’s like a challenge but I know that you have the real guts to accept the challenge” Danush blurted out while I was working..
I was so surprised and for an eternally long time I remained silent.
“What happened Sara?” Danush leaned closer to me with pure amusement and curiosity crossed his angelic face.
“No actually, I don’t know what to say! I’m really surprised with your words, Sir. I don’t know how grateful I am. Because you trust me and you give me such a huge opportunity!”
Danush spontaneously glared at me for a while
“Let’s see what you can do this time. Wish you all the best”
I was more like deep in thoughts. I promised my self to work hard more than any other chapter in my life.
Days went faster and I became a successful writer among the Thoughts crew. With my success I met so many friends but only one became my best friend. Her name was Neha and she was more like a sister to me.
“What’s going on between you and Danush sir” It was an unexpected question from Neha suddenly which made my whole life to face changes…
Obviously my answer was nothing and I knew that I was so closer to Danush. But it never meant that there was anything secret going on between us.
Danush was really impressed with my works so he always spent his time mostly with me. Some times he used me as his secretary and I fulfilled all my duties happily. Because Danush was more like a god to my life.

“But I think that he likes you a lot. He’s different when he’s with you.”
Each and every day Neha had something new to relate about me and Danush. Instead of neglecting her jokes, I started thinking about them and with out any afford all of them became new hopes for my life.
I started feeling different for Danush and I knew that it was a big interest on him. A morbid interest on him!
Finally I started falling for the tall handsome Danush, My boss!
“I don’t think that he likes me. What if he has a girl huh?” I always expressed negative thoughts and each and every feeling was a misery…
“No if he has a girl, surely he could tell us”
Neha always tried to cheer me up.
With her positive ideas my interest towards him started growing faster and faster.
Danush mostly used to take me for coffee and it was a huge chance for me to know a lot about him. He seemed to be single from the things he said and I was really happy.
“Sara I really like you. You are different and simple” His words always made me to blossom like a rose and his all appreciations were the heavenly symbols of his interest towards me.
With my new hopes, I had to struggle in-order to balance my carrier with the new feelings. But it was really difficult and mostly I used to dream about Danush instead of working.
Though Danush noticed my difference he never said anything bad to me. And I was sure that it’s because he loved me like the way I loved him!
My only hope of becoming an author faded away and marrying Danush became my ultimate dreams.
With my life style, I started loosing reviews for my articles. But I had no any idea as I was living in his dreams! His glances, his smile and his words!
Love was really amazing; It made me a different person again in the unknown city Mumbai! Most of the people said that Love can make some one really happy. But I didn’t realize that it cane make some one destroy at the same time until I face the ugly truth about my hopes.
“Sara…. Danush sir has called you to his room.” Suddenly Danush’s secretary appeared in front of me.


“Sara, Sara, Sara! I controlled my patience since a long time because I trusted you! But not any more” The thundering words of Danush went crossing my ears like arrows!
“Why what happened?” I asked with curiosity with no any idea about what was going on.
“Just don’t act like a baby! What the hell is this?” He shouted while throwing a paper at me.
I bent down to grab the paper and found that it was one of my article sketches.
“Why what wrong with this Danush?” I asked in dismay
“Huh, what wrong? Do you think that my magazine is for little kids? To publish silly articles like this? Have you gone mad or what?”
Though I wanted to make an excuse for my fault, I stopped as I caught him staring at behind me.
Suddenly a lady appeared behind me and stepped towards Danush.
“Danu, don’t you remember. There’s a meeting at Rahul’s school today. He need both of us to be there. Almost all the parents are attending” She said while giving me a curious look
PARENTS??
SWEET HEART??

I didn’t know what to say or what to do. From a single glance everything changed.
I stood like a statue with out making any word in-front of Danush and his WIFE!
“Okay, I just forgot it. I think we should leave now.” He said while walking away from me
“And Miss Prakash, You don’t have to work here any more. Thanks for your support. Wish you all the best”
What did I have to say in such a situation instead of staring like a statue?
My dreams, My hopes My everything washed away with a small silly hope named LOVE!
With the cursed feelings, I had to resign from my position…



And now here I am among the busy Mumbai citizens, staring at THOUGHTS! The building of thoughts magazine, With lost hopes and dreams… Where should I go now?

Mumbai The city of Dreams! Gave me a life and at the same time took my life back!
But it taught me a lesson… “The more you attach the more you get hurt”

“The feeling came from the melting drops from the rain. The movement has com close to my heart….It touched my heart but I couldn’t know. But when I looked back and think of the few meetings up we had. I like the moment. I cant do this…I’ll send the message through the wind. I love you…Where do I got those words from…Life is coming your way…"
