Love in the time of Astrology


She was looking. He was looking. She was looking for a mate. He was looking for a friend. Fate made them meet. They became friends. Friends became best friends. Best friends became close friends. Fate plays. Close friends are now closed friends!

They met, they talked, they laughed together, they ate together… Life was colorful; there was a new hope, a new life. Spring sprung in their hearts. He hoped for more, she asked for more. But there wasn’t anymore more…. only the sophisticated twist…

There were two villains. One came as an astrologer and other as a psychic. They warned, they alarmed, they horrified… They said it was a match made in hell, something which should never happen. They justified with 101 reasons and 201 problems. They asked if at least a divorce is in the cards then why play with wedding cards. It was horrendous, atrocious and grievous.

She wasn’t his dream girl. But we don’t live in dream world. After all, what is perfect in life! We have to adapt, adjust and accommodate. He still stood for his love. He thought it is better to live as far as it goes than living without going any far. But he had promises to keep… and miles to go before he sleep. Finally he had to succumb to his family!

Story ends happily. They didn’t marry and yelled at each other or killed each other. She got married to a GUY and he got married to his life. They flew away. She flew east with her mate and he flew west with his fate, with a hurt heart, hoping the new place will instill a new life. Before she left, she gave him three gifts… a friendly hug, a stinging kiss; and a lovely pen to keep close to his heart. He had only words, and words that all he had, to take her heart away…

“Even though we part…
Some part of you still exists in me
It comes out… at times…
As tears through my eyes…

Those moments… those words…!”

They cried together… one last time. Life goes on, but…
The End.

Will it be similar to Gabriel García Márquez's 'Love in the Time of Cholera'? Will they meet again? :-)
