When I sat to expand the topic in hundred words, two buds
loomed on the stalk of my thought
process. I didn’t nip any and allowed both to unfurl here.
1 Friendship in Facebook!
That pleasant handsome countenance in facebook, with a
forte, bearing a grin below the well-formed moustache, infringed upon Sangeeta's mind.
Her curiosity surf-rode through comradeship, but reached no shore of acquaintance.
But that visage journeyed in her sleep and rouse, work and
free-time, leisure and pleasure and everywhere. So she unfolded her heart and Raju reciprocated. Their love pining grew in size.
She couldn’t help divulging the truth. Fret-ridden and tear-jerking
way she, “I am dumb, forget me, sorry.” She shut her laptop.
After a while with a heavy-heart she signed into facebook.
“We, dumb both, will row on the life-ocean together,” he.
sarala.
2 Blood and Blood!
The conch trumpet echoed in air.She was in
deep thought and walked frontward and backward. Her steps disclose the glumness
of her ‘self’.
“ My
own blood and my own blood will fight. Oh! How painful. I can’t bear this,”
despondingly she thought. “I can’t hide the truth anymore,” she whispered.
She took feeble paces towards him.
Her heart-pounding was audible. “You are my dear son, Karna; you and Arjuna are
siblings.”Kunti.
“Me, a charioteer’s son, Arjuna’s
brother?”
She exposed the truth.
“I will target only Arjuna, no
other Pandava; then also you will have five sons.”Karna vanished.
