Les Misérables
"You have crippling narcissistic tendencies, you know that?"
Free falling were the mahogany leaves atop the wooden tea shade, and my lips were about to embark on a cozy adventure of sipping down on a cup filled with warm tea just before she threw that emotionless Chapmans 105-mile pitch my face!
"What do you mean I have narcissistic tendencies?"
A subtle hint of pleading overshadowed my dumbfounded query.
"Yeah, you have. No matter how much you deny it or whichever thick curtain you cover it with, I still can see through you!" She replied in a manner comparable to a mother catching his toddler secretly nibbling on the brown sugar stash.
"What! Ate a sour patch this morning now, did ya? Her exasperated drowned my whimsical humor, yet I kept blabbering on. Stoooop being all quirky like a chicken!"*
"I always read those bullcrap you write btw."
"i am not writing anything! I haven't been on Facebook in months!"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about! Your posts on that shitty looking website. where you keep painting me as manipulative and unlovable." a veil of gloom covered up her face.
By shitty looking website, she meant hive. Entirely voluntary it was, the remark I mean. To hurt the affection I hold toward this site! But, I'm a calm and collected guy, so I decided to play Pallu Scoop instead.
"Aha, that!" I laughed.
"You know, this too, is going to be up there tho babe!" I stooped while letting out a cruel smirk. With that, I could see her futile attempt at trying to burn me with her laser eyes, and in failure, she pouted and looked away! And everything became strangely stagnant.
But, I am as stubborn as they come. And so, slowly but surely, I removed the hair, uncovering her pinkish ear, got within an inch of her and passionately whispered; Ill be there with you in the end!
Only two months ago, we were having this tender moment and now shes married. The wooden tea shop, 4 winters, and we have shared so many memories, yet all of them are now seemingly lost. Nowadays, me getting all sentimental in remembrance too seems nonsensical. Within two months, dreams of spending eons together flew away.
People say time heals everything. If I type in a few words on google, I could find at least a million quotes about time and in the ballpark of 90% of which will be motivational, inspiring, and intended to send out positive vibes. But I'm a proud sardonic. I do not like to see what people put up in the showcase for others to judge. I only see what cowers under the shades. And even though saying this automatically validates her calling me a narcissist, I would stand by my statement until proven wrong with logic. I digress.
Having almost no work nowadays, my sleeping pattern has completely reversed. I sleep through the afternoon till midnight and do whatever I do through the rest of the night. And nonchalantly, I'm getting accustomed to it. I sleep while the rest of the world bustles.
In one of my most profound of slumbers, I was chasing away Beelzebub when he called. My friend of a decade to break the 'in a way good news'. She was getting married while in my fantasy, a horseback Beelzebub with the scepter of Azrael in hand lay waste to my kingdom of Epiphany. And I couldn't do anything. Couldn't fight the evil away, save the day, and win the princess.
The wooden tea shade is still there, and so is my occasional escapade with tea. The only piece missing is my periodical euphoria of smelling her Chanel N5. With that, another part of my soul lay barren. Another flicker of hope perished in vain.
It takes crazy skills to tune out those fake emotions that come pouring out at a faster pace, almost as fast as ants chasing after sweets. But, I'm doing it. After all, we are humans. And what is fun if not to die just a little.
Imperiously he leaps, he neighs, he bounds,
And now his woven girths he breaks asunder;
The bearing earth with his hard hoof he wounds,
Whose hollow womb resounds like heaven's thunder;
The iron bit he crushes 'tween his teeth
Controlling what he was controlled with.
-Venus and Adonis
