Reckless Love

Fall in love... burn yourself for the one. If it's not love, it will be a lesson. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Arlet~Some incidents in life are so erratic that they could leave a person speechless. When my happy family met with an accident, it left me in a pool of loneliness and took my parents away. Not more than that, it also left me with an injured vocal cord, taking away my ability to talk.Nothing I would say mattered to the people or helped them to understand my condition, so I chose to shut myself down.Not that I can’t talk, but by the time my weak nerves came up with a single word, the other person would lose their patience. So I contended.It’s better not to speak when nobody is there to listen.It’s been five years since I lost my

ALL I DESIRE WAS A LIFETIME WITH YOU... BUT WHY I FEEL LIKE I AM DECEIVING YOU? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ARLETHolding the sheer drapery, my eyes gazed at the man, who astonished my conscience. That little angel was his daughter. In which world is it possible? How can he be so secretive? My heart sank, peeking at that poor soul studying at the kids playing around. Anybody could understand how heartbreak she must have felt watching those kids. I could feel her pain.Ruben looked in our way, but the evening rays poured in fragments on the tinted window didn’t favor him to steal a glance at his beautiful bride.Besides, his jolted bride sauntered across the room, suppressing her advanced adrenaline.“What am I supposed to do now?” Reile yanked me back like I was the one who could drag her out of this position. It brought me back to the ambi

And there she was, loving him with every pour of her being, and he had become the continuum of unanswered prayers who didn’t know her name.~ARLET~````````````````````````````````````````Aghast, my senses benumbed, looking at the people. It didn’t take time for me to realize the reason behind his placidity. His parents seem delighted with happy tears. And the little girl clapped when she beamed towards me with expected eyes. They hadn’t seen Reile, and for them, I was the face of Ruben’s life partner. Momentarily, the paparazzi sealed the deal, exposing my face to this world as Ruben’s better half.But the way his friends read me with anxiousness, I knew I was headingtowards the unstoppable storm.We stepped down from the stage, and I quietly followed him. There was no smile on his face, just pure anger. We walked towards the car, and it was hard for me to pace his long strides with my sloppy wedges and ill-equipped dress, but I tried and stumbled when Milo grabbed me.“Arlet... wh

Some souls need to be lost before they get shattered by the same hand.~ARLET~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The morning brings faith to our lives, and we should always embrace it wholeheartedly. There will be terrible nights, but the hope of dawn will keep you alive. This is what my mother advised me, and from that day, I used to thank God for every morning he showed me, pleasing or not, but it still has some hope.The dawn light sprayed through sheer curtains quietly knocked on my sealed peer, letting me open my visions and balance the cornea.The sight was not expected like my typical basement view, but an enormous living room with shattered vases pieces to the ground, an explicit reminder of my changed life.I got up and looked around. As envisioned, I was alone in the house.With a deliberate walk, I sat on the couch, unsure of what to do next.The door creaked open and thought to see Ruben navigate my mind, but Magda, the housekeeper, greeted my sight.“Hel

Do men ever think they are hurting her? Damn, they don’t until someone gives them their medicine. ~ARLET~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`It’s been a week since I last saw Ruben, the same evening I met Raya. He used to leave early and come late. And whenever he felt my existence, I could sense the abhorrence making the atmosphere heavier. I get it. He was shunning my reality by the end of this world. As a surprise, Raya and I used to spend time together, and it turns out we became each other’s world in a short period. She has become my new hope to look up to and win this world against all the impossibilities. And I had become his new friend with whom she loved to share her doll collection and some childish secret.She was like a normal kid, with regular exciting anticipations of making friends and going to school, relishing extracurricular classes.But it wasn’t easy to pursue when she was homeschooled for so long. She was given every facility except the childhood every child de
