56. He is mine and mine alone!!

“Deep in my heart I'm concealing things that I'm longing to say. Scared to confess what I'm feeling - frightened you'll slip away.” - Madonna

She eyed him in a clandestine manner as she saw her sister kissing him. She had ached and longed for him, and now it felt like she could take the pain no more. What body, features,elegance..... There was a certain poise around him, she drooled often as she thought about him. She wrote lengthy verbose poems in his longing....



"Day and night I am waiting waiting....
Are you asking for a beating...
Under your love I get fainting, fainting...
And if you die, you'll make me cry...
Your naughty thoughts make me shy..... "

She knew he belonged to her sister...they looked so... so 'perfect' together... She had no right to do this to her sister ; to her own elder sister who loved him like none else. He had brought the much elusive joy into her sister's life. He was much more than what she deserved, she knew. Wherever her sister went, he would tag along, to the extent that it caused severe irritation to public sometimes.

She wished she could steal him from her. This attraction was showing on her studies lately. She knew she had to figure a way out. Spending a few moments alone with him was hardly taking her an inch forward. She was tired of raking up fights with her sibling everyday over him. It was never a pleasant sight watching them pull each other's hair over him, strangle each other's necks. Poor him. All he could do was to be a silent spectator to this cat fight. Everybody around had had enough of all this. Till one day when he decided to move out of their lives. Once and for all. Never to return.

Life had to move on. After fall came spring. The winds had changed direction. There was a fresh smell of grass all around. Had someone stepped in to substitute him?

P.S. Dear sweetheart Microsoft Zune, you are deeply missed. I'll never let you-know-who to meddle with 'us' anymore. For Pete's sake, stop giving me software trouble, will you?
