Y is for... Yearning



Grandma moved her fingers, waving coyly as we flew over the valley of Dehradun. A tiny droplet filled her eye and she let out a crooked smile.

“You still miss him?” I asked being fully aware that I was disturbing her.

"Huh?"

"I asked if you still missed him."

“That man left without saying a word. What do you expect?” 

“I expect anger.”

“Anger, resentment, jealousy... they all go with time, son.” She said with her smile intact.

“Even when you are betrayed?” I was confused.

“Love is a much stronger emotion than any other. Unfortunately for some, it is very hard to let go.”

“But..."

“Shhh.”

She looked down the window pane and smiled again. She wanted to go back to her dream. Her gaze was fixed... as if he was waving back at her.

  3. Ouch..we people are so strange. The heart can feel something so strong and it might kill us, but we still hold on to that emotion!

  6. Love is that emotion when even when that person ditches or betrays and we say a thousand times that we hate them, the heart holds on to that person. And it is difficult to betray the heart. And the heart does not expect anyone to understand !
