Quid Pro Quo

She asked me "What do you want to do?"

I said "I wanna throw stones".

"At what?"

"At the lake".

And than.

We picked up the pebbles and started throwing them in the lake, and suddenly there were enormous ripples in the water.

And we sat down and watched the ripples.

I said  "See that's what happens when you hurl stones in the silent waters of a lake which is surrounded by walls and it gets excited and you enjoy the current, which will last pretty long as compared to ripples in river which is without boundaries and flows without giving a damn and than when you are done throwing stones, you walk away, while lake is still immersed in its ripples."

Thats what happens with me,I am like that silent water and someone walks in my life and hurl stones and enjoy the ripples and excitement in me and when they are done, they simply walk away, cursing me to be a still and stale water.

She shook me by the shoulder and said "Get over that girl! Man!, maybe there is someone better waiting for you, or may be not." And than she winked with her tongue out.

"And see, till now God has given you the best of everything and He will continue his grace."

I said "Amen" and sipped some filtered South Indian coffee from my cup, and she dranks from her and we sat silently surrendering ourselves to the overwhelming sunset.

Orange sun was looking magnificent so was its reflection in the water, adding beauty to this was chirping of birds and the cold breeze was silently whispering in my ears "Winter has come" and in my heart I replied to the breeze "If winter comes, can summer be far behind", and I smiled and she looked at me and smiled and asked "You okay now?"

I smiled again.

And that's how you know, your sibling understand everything even when you say nothing.

She told me to follow the quid pro quo in life and be happy.

 She also said that "Your girl might not love you at all, and the things she said were just for kicks, or maybe she loves you and has her  problems which no one can understand."

I asked " Why is it so easy for girls to move-on in life and turn so cold hearted." and gave bunch of examples.

She ruffled my hairs and smiled and said " You sound hurt my brother. Since when you started believing in such bullshit."  and she quoted Mark Twain "All generalization are false, including this one."

I asked "Why does it hurts so much."
She said "It hurts because it mattered to you."
I said" Maybe, that's the thing about pain, its demands to be felt... But what is the way out of labyrinth of suffering."
She said "The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive."

And than again we were silent.

I took out my mobile and played "Half of my heart."

And started singing loudly along with John Mayer

"Half of my heart's got a real good imagination

Half of my heart's got you

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

that half of my heart won't do."
