Okay, I like this morning.

- October 28, 2021

Piercing sunlight and the tints of glowing light around you sounds like a beautiful dream and a warm hug. But right now, Daniel doesn’t agree one bit with it. The agonizing rays of light poking the closed eyelids, more like shooting at the eyes, were definitely the worst way to wake up. No, scratch that. The worst way was waking up to the screeching alarm, which is painful. Daniel groaned internally as he was being bullied into opening his eyes by the sunlight. ‘I hate you sunlight!’ he screamed in his mind. He opened his eyes to find clean white walls in front of him. That was when the realisation of last night dawned upon him. Rose. Suddenly his hand felt too empty, she was not on the bed. His eyes pondered to the clock on the wall which showed it was already 10 o’clock. ‘Ugh, not again’ he thought. He slowly stood up from the chair, which itself was too uncomfortable, and stretched his arms. His bed was far more comfortable, but holding Rose’s hand for all that was wor...

Too many 'thank-you's

- October 07, 2021

The smells of the hospital reached back to Daniel as he went inside the hospital after placing the order for their burgers. The network inside was so bad that he not only couldn’t place the order, but the application for the online delivery was also not loading. Hospitals have those different vibes going around. Someone is celebrating the birth of a newborn while someone is whining from the pain. Daniel never liked hospitals, in fact, he had been scared of stepping foot in the hospitals since ‘that day. Not that , his mind screamed back at him. When he reached back to Rose’s bed, she was not there. He goes over to the bathroom but the door is wide open, obviously stating that she was not there. ‘Wow, I leave for five minutes and she is already wandering in the hospital.’ A little walk around the corridor and he found her standing near the window with her plastered leg hanging in the air while she supported herself with the wall. Her back faced him and her hair, still loose, ...

I'm Funny

- September 30, 2021

The moon was shining around the crest and the stars were glowing beautifully as the night grew. If they were not in the situation they were in, it must’ve sounded like a romantic night. Daniel was far more worried about Rose than what he showed. Though, if he was being honest, he had asked her about a million times if she was alright and she had stopped answering after the third time. “Can you please say something different? Like distract me from the pain instead of reminding me about it every three seconds!” groaned Rose just as Daniel had started to ask her if she was alright again. “Umm, what do I tell you?” Daniel asked being confused about what to talk about at the moment. “Anything! Just- ugh… tell me any random thing…” “Oh, I’ll tell you a joke. So why is the nose in the middle of our face?” he asked as he looked in the back mirror trying to see her reaction. “I- um- I don’t know. Why?” she asked curiously. “Well, it’s the scenter, ” Daniel said while laughin...

The serious joker

- September 23, 2021

Have you ever been in a situation where you just wanted to do something but just couldn’t think of what to do? Daniel was in the same situation, just a little different. He knew that he was supposed to place ice-packs around the injured area or do something that he couldn’t recall, but right now his brain had suddenly stopped working. ‘Great job, Daniel’ he thought sarcastically. He felt like being in an exam hall where suddenly you forget all that you had thought you knew by heart. Huh, at least he was never confused about 2+2 being 4 as Polly did, but that was a completely different story. It was then that he remembered Potato. He hurried over to Rose who was all of a sudden too calm. Then he saw that she was on a phone call talking to someone with a straight face. This made him wonder how many times she must’ve been in pain while talking over the phone with him but pretended she was not… She mumbled something like, “ T he stories of C hocolates of London A re actually abou...

Stars are fascinating

- September 16, 2021

' Beautiful’ is such a sweet word. Say it to a friend, a lover or even inanimate objects and still the meaning never ceases to fade. And now that Daniel had told the same to Rose, he meant it really, he felt as if that word was not enough for her. If only had he read the books that he was supposed to read when he was young, They were now walking towards their car after a long walk. They had a complete conversation on totally random topics starting from pineapples over pizzas and now they were talking about constellations. It is really amazing how you might be talking completely horrendous things with a certain person and still, it seems interesting. So was the case with Daniel, he was never that interested in the stars and all but now the constellations seemed the most fascinating things in the world, well out of the world but you get the idea. “…it’s called as Orion,” she said moving her fingers along some stars as if joining them with some imaginary lines. “Ugh,” cried Dan...

Carnivals

- September 09, 2021

Carnivals. Daniel hated them with a passion. Not that they weren’t fun, but he felt that they were completely overrated. He just couldn’t imagine why putting their lives in danger by sitting in the rides was so loved by all people. But right now he was driving him and rose to a Carnival. He couldn’t gather the courage to tell Rose when she looked so excited to lighten his mood. Honestly, if he were a poet he would’ve written a poem on how happy she looked. But considering his vocabulary, ‘beautiful’ was the word he settled on. She didn’t talk much during the car ride. They both actually enjoyed the comfortable silence between them. But he saw the way her eyes were practically glowing with happiness. He had never seen her so happy. He remembered the way she held her eyes low in the morning and she never kept her eyes low. When they reached there she let out a little squeak. Not like the ones they showed girls doing in the movies, which truth be told look so fake, but her sq...

The sunray through the dark clouds

- September 02, 2021

The next few days were a bit gloomy. Like the days when there isn’t rain but the dark clouds have covered the sun and the pretty blue sky has lost its colour. Daniel had taken a day off after getting the news, mostly because he had lost the energy for another day filled with human interactions. At the end of the week, it was Vic’s funeral. Apparently when Vic’s contacts were tried to open his phone’s memory card got erased by itself, so no information was gathered from it. After a lot of convincing to Gerald about the funeral, Gerald had agreed for it to be sponsored by the office. Daniel didn’t want to be present at the event where he had to publically admit that Vic was no longer present in the world he existed in. All the good times, such as when Vic gifted Daniel the brown cap, that Daniel actually never wore, from where he had visited, or the cake fights that happened every time they decided to go to have breakfast together (the cake was not included in the breakfast but...

Food is better than Victory

- August 26, 2021

'Why has everyone decided to ruin every good moment of this day?' was Daniel's thought after declining the second call from Gerald. He had nonchalantly declined the first call and was happy enough to do it again. Joining back to the conversation with Rose about their favourite place in the World, about which he was unsure how it had started they were just talking about their favourite dish and then the conversation just flowed easily, he said agreeing with her, "India is truly a beautiful country! Have you ever travelled there?" She replied with a casual tone shrugging her shoulders that she hadn't but wished to. Soon his phone rang for the third time. His smile dropped with an irritated look on his face. 'Declining calls twice means that someone is not interested in talking to you. Shouldn't he get that by now?' Daniel thought. "I think you should get it this time. Someone is surely eager to talk to you..." joked Rose, which was quite th...

She is absolutely gorgeous

- August 19, 2021

The day was an absolutely horrifying one. Daniel was a mess by the end of it. If it hadn't been Rose, he must've had a breakdown in the bathroom. He was never good at handling sorrows, he still isn't. He doesn't believe but he is currently cooking in Rose's kitchen. How he reached there doesn't seem real to him. After the crying and all (he doesn't like to talk about it, nor he ever will, but he is still over the moon that he had Rose to lean on for support) he was about to leave when he heard a slow voice saying his name. He knew who that was without turning, he would know that voice among thousands. The one, to whom the voice belonged, was steadily walking towards him. A little smile formed on his lips as he saw, of course, it was Rose. Her hair was tied up in a weird bun and in her hands, she had a few files as usual. "Hey Daniel, were you heading out?" she said in a very sweet voice. Everything she did was seeming sweet to Daniel, so he was uns...
