Heartache & Healed Heart

Indian Bloggers


He loved her. She had said she does too, but she married another man of her parent’s choice.

When he went to profess his love and ask her parents for her hand, she feigned ignorance that she knows him!

She never even uttered a word that she loves him…

Her would-be groom was an NRI millionaire.

He learnt it the hard way that the world loves money.

While walking in the park, he suddenly collapsed.

When he came to his senses, he found a pretty lady gently nursing him.

Was he in Heaven?

He felt his heart begin to heal…

    This is really good Anita. World really loves money. I wonder how skillfully you presented this in just 100 words. :) Awesome. And can I also write for Write Tribe? Is it like one cannot miss a single prompt on their site or we can choose and write whatever we wish to?

      Of course, you can also write. We can choose the prompts we wish to write, else we can also write for the Blogging challenges :) Haven't signed up for the latest one- the A-Z Challenge though as time is a factor...

    A cute story...
    Good riddance I would say for someone who had the guts to love him but didn't have the guts to speak to her parents about him. Then why love in the first place??? Because she wants to feel the feel-good highs of love? Momentarily?

    1. Anita Sabat30 March 2014 at 17:34

      That's what destiny planned for him. He didn't deserve her- he deserved the angel whom he ultimately met in his Heaven :)
      For some people, love is a time-pass...they have to show that they are in love! :)
