Human Ego

It was a night fully covered with fog. Mountain tops were playing hide and seek. Two friends were sitting with two glass of Old Monk. Missouri with its frosty magnificence let the friends discussed their childhood stories. It was so long period of time, that they haven't met each other. Lots of anger, disappointment was there before the meeting but somehow it went just after one hug. 

"You haven't changed dude, the same funky style you're still holding," the first guy said.

"Hahaha, you also haven't changed, but see now you have a long beard. Do you remember how you used the broken razor to shave your already shaved cheeks" the second guy replied. 

"Oh ya dude, that's why I have this much of beard" both giggled, after the first guy's response.

"Oh, do you remember how we had our first sip of local daaru in the hostel library? Bro, I can't forget those nights." The second one said. With the heavy heart, the first guy asked while sipping the old monk " why didn't you contacted me then?" 

"Same thing I can ask you, why you didn't"? The second one replied.

An awkward silence occurred in between them. The silence was actually shouting loud by saying " it's human ego".

well wishing dosen't heal you everytime.

It was 12'o clock at a dusky night. Delhi with its smoked sky was covering the balcony. The pair of no strings attached couple was standing there with a cigarette which might add some additional harmful effects to their lungs, but it was needed to start that most dire conversation. He said "if I get a wife who doesn't smoke how it will look like. No I mean it's good my habit will be changed then but still."

She without letting him finish the sentence utter that, " if my future husband doesn't allow me to smoke then?" 

"Start to find someone you may prefer because you have to be settled for whole life," he said.

She took a deep breath, look at his face and saw how strongly he said that. How is this possible, doesn't his heart crave for the soul who is standing in front of him. Suddenly he said," please don't bring our thing in-between".

She smiled and said "are chill. I'm not making things complicated" but silently she whispered in her heart "but how can I when you are with me, I can't even see anyone else". 

"As a friend or a well-wisher, I'm suggesting you open a profile into matrimonial sites, I think you will get the one." Said the guy.

She inhaled meaning of the sentence that the time is flying and now he is also in the same process as he is suggesting."

Her heart started crying, he hugged her tight but she couldn't drop her tears on his shoulder.

Better she took a deep breath and started singing " call me baby if you feel it".

She knew love in the relationship is never equal but, she started a bond without any relationship but it is the most difficult one to be parted because it formed with love, trust, respect, comfort, compassion. 

The night passed with so many thoughts by hugging each other.

He wanted her to show the right aisle but she wanted to see the path with him.
