Finally!
My inner soul clamored, advised me to stick to my knitting, and here I am with my first short story, today. I ween that I waited for this long leisure to write, maybe after many attempts, it is completed now. I hope it is not futile.
Everything ship
"Hey! Do you like my brother?" Mia asked her friend Keily.
"You know me and you know my parents too, the stuff they talk about me. Anyway, your brother is too good to be my boyfriend." She replied in a flummoxed tone.
"I don’t think that’s true." Mia defended.
"The problem is that your parents never tried to understand you, and that’s why they call you troubled. They think you are perfidious but I don’t- Mia replied.
They were having one of the best fortuitous bits. Rooftop and shooting stars are still delightful.
"Keily, you know what, my understanding burgeoned about the lost balance for love and relationship. There is no single piece left that fits together, he needed to put his house in order first and I couldn’t realize. That nothingness was the proof of us not meant to be that always and forever couple." Mia's grieve spoke.
"Maru (Mia’s brother) told me that, that boy was not with me to be with me, he was there so he could blame me for our damaged relationship," she added.
"Do you think I didn't know that Mia? I was aware of the fact that this wasn’t going to work. Relationships are not only about taking delights together, but it’s also about having a good time within griefs said Keily, "Relations should be about everything. It’s like sailing on the life ship with all the problems, happiness, conflicts, tears, and whatnot. What should we call this?"
“Everything Ship” Mia responded out of the blue, "Well, I think I found my way where I am supposed to walk on the path where I could find someone who would love to sail on this ship with me but what about you? What is your definition of everything ship?".
Just like every other time, Keily didn’t answer and Mia didn’t ask again.
Two friends with 7 years of friendship, 5 years of understanding, and classmates since 3rd grade and one morning call changed everything. Mia got a call from Kaily. She was sobbing on the other side of the phone.
Mia asked, "I hope it's not the time!"
"It is", Kaily responded.
Kaily’s parents were sending her away. She was horrified with the idea of being far from her friend when she finally recognized that her friend was her love. Kaily's definition of everything ship was being around Mia.
The day Kaily left, she told Mia, "Maybe I know why my parents call me troubled and why they are sending me away."
Mia tried but didn't understand and Kaiely left her in confusion.
She acknowledged the fact that now she will have to find someone else to sail on the life ship and Mia had no idea about this.
This was enervating for Kaily.
