To the one who turned stranger

Friends?

"Can we be friends?" said she after some hours of nattering. It wasn't the first time I perceived this question but sudden anxiety developed inside me. I don't know what it was strange but still familiar.

"Are you sure?" I enquired.

"Of course, pretty sure. Is there any problem?"

"But we are not familiar with each other."

" Then we will."

"You are talking about the future, which is vague."


After some minutes of silence, she said, "I feel like you don't want to be friends with me."

"That's not the case. I might be friends with you, but not so quick."

"So, then do you have any best friends? If you don't make anyone your friend easily, then the best friend is the matter to be thought about. Do you?"

"I am everyone's friend but never the BEST FRIEND. I wasn't anyone's favorite."

"Oh, it's obvious. But you mentioned that you are everyone's friend, then I am also your friend, aren't I?"

"Yeah, but that's one-sided. And when anything is one-sided, it's not worthy."


"So, do you have someone to count on?"

"Of course, I do have some friends."

"Do they count on you or choose you over others?"

"I am not sure. It may be an option but never a person's choice. I was a choice, yes, but never the one who chosen."

"But everyone must have one such friend. So, why don't you?"

 "I know when everyone has to choose between me and others, no one will choose me."

"Then what about those whom you call friends?"

"I am not sure. People barely approach me. The thin thread of our friendship is over a sharp sword. It may break at any time, slowly without our knowledge."


"So it seems that you are lonely, aren't you?"

"Not. I have one friend whom I can always count on, belief in any circumstance, trust with every decision, and for whom I am the only choice."

"But........ Okay, leave it. Would you like to say who it is?"

"Sure, that's me myself."

    It'd been a long time i hadn't seen your post in blog. Then today, i got the notification of the subscription facility that it directly sends the whole writing to the mail. The topic was pretty interesting and so i went through it. We have many friends but in the end we ourselves are the only one whom we can always count on to. An interesting conversation along with the acknowledgement that our freindships are just like any brittle solid that can shatter very well but also like the caffeine's effect that we can't see its effects too quickly. Anyway, keep writing and cheers to our friendship.

      I don't force writing and I write when I feel I should. You have always been an inspiration for me, how you cherish my writings. Thank you Ayusha for your words❤️.

प्रश्न मित्रताको

साथी; सुन्दै मन प्रफुल्लित हुने यो शब्द , कठिन अवस्थाको आश्रय यो शब्द, जीवनमा एक्लोपनको आभास हटाइदिने यो शब्द, गन्तव्यको सहयात्री यो शब्द, विश्वासको पात्र यो शब्द, स्मृतिको भेल यो शब्द । खै ? कुन शब्दले यो साथी शब्दको बयान गरु? यो शब्द यति विशेष छ कि यो शब्दको जति बयान गरे पनि म थकित हुने छैन । सोच्नुस् त शब्दले नै यति श्रेष्ठता बोध गर्दछ भने यो शब्दको पछाडि जो व्यक्ति छ उसको तपाईंको जीवनमा कति महत्त्व होला । तर मलाई कहिले काँही डर लाग्छ यो शब्दबाट । यो पनि बत्ती मुनिको अँध्यारो जस्तै हो कि । प्रश्न उठ्छ "असलमा मेरो साथी को हो ?" सोच्ने गर्छु साथी भनिएका जो जति व्यक्तिहरू छन् के साँच्चै तिनीहरू मेरा साथी हुन् र? कतै मैले आफ्नै खुट्टामा बन्चरो हनिराको त छैन? सोच्छु, आफैलाई प्रश्न गर्छु "एउटा अपरिचित व्यक्ति केही क्षणको वाक्य आदन प्रदान गर्दैमा मित्र हुन्छन्?" यदि यसो हो भने म जीवनमा साथीको कल्पना समेत गर्दिनँ । कति सोजो छौँ है हामी । साथी शब्द मै साथ छ तर पनि यात्राको क्रममा दुई वाक्य साट्दैमा उसलाई हामी साथी भन्छौँ । के साथ दुई वाक्यको हो र ? सधैँ आफ्नो लागि मात्र स...

Isolation

He doesn't need a couch or a pillow, He will have them wherever he goes, Deep into reflection, resting head against the wall, Memories flash, but he cannot have them in his arms. He walks through the same congested blacktop, His yearnings are falling steadily like raindrops, For people, rain is a beautiful scene to mark, For him, sunshine is like his shadow in the dark. Beside walks his entangled shadow, He is seen mourning in his meadow, He gets replied from his inner heart, Even in the present he couldn't apart from the past. He encounters the feeling of impending doom, Behind the merry face, he is wearing the merest mask of gloom, He swallows his feelings before others, Since no one wants to listen to what he suffered. His blue sky is now no more clear, Things are always not the same as they appear, It was long before he lived incongruity, Today life has shown him utmost disparity, People are resented, scorned, and unheard, Till their body is buried under, One must bury the...

Suicide?

"I have no will to live anymore. I will suicide." Suicide ; how effortlessly you said you will suicide but have you ever contemplated what will happen after that. Presumably, the answer is "NO!". I acknowledge you have been through hard times often in life. I also appreciate your care for us. I apprehend you have been shattered, have no enthusiasm left. I adore you for what you have done,  what you have forfeited, and what you have provided. But I never understood "Is suicide the only solution?". I don't know if I will ever get the answer which will heal my soul from anyone attempting to. Since all I know is self-destruction is never a way out. So, Let's find a way out of this. Think back to those days of tough times. Thought of self-murder might have crossed your mind. But did you pick that? Did you accentuate that thought a little more? Then why now? You told me those anecdotes of the darkest hours of your life, not the ones of any well-renowned ...
