When LOVE turns to HATRED...

When I say 'Love', it may not necessarily take up the usual and prejudiced version of romance. It can mean any other kind of love, in general. But then, the intensity of this so-called feeling depends upon the closeness u share with the other person/thing. Now let me talk about the love you have towards persons, keeping aside romance.

You start loving some people without any reason. Even when you don't get enough attention or care from the other person because of the kind they are, you still don't matter clinging onto them giving them all the love you have. But then slowly you realize that they too care for you in their own way. They tell you everything that happens in their lives, shares with you all their private secrets, have fun with you, talks about you to their friends, and blabla.. This person, for example, can be a cousin or a sister or whomsoever. This particular sister would want you to be with her during all the preparations for her wedding, including the bride-costume selection, the beauty parlor-trips, all the grooming sessions, to click millions of her pictures and send it to her fiance and what not! You stand by her side as her bridesmaid on her wedding day, keep checking if her make-up has faded, recheck if her hair is still in place, keep giving her touch-ups and carefully arrange all the gifts she received that anybody who comes for the wedding mistakes you as the bride's own sister. And then finally when she leaves to her in-laws' with all the emotional dramas of a typical Indian wedding, u weep the hell out. You feel happy and lost at the same time.

 Days pass and this sister of yours calls you one fine morning with the happy news of making you an aunt. You jump with joy, you start searching for baby names on Google, u begin dreaming how your niece/nephew would look, you become completely restless!

Days pass again and suddenly out of the blue, this very sister stops talking to you for reasons known or unknown. This sister who was once your world leaves you behind, stops talking to you, makes you feel completely lost. This person who never failed to call you at least once every two days stops attending your calls and doesn't text you back. Instead, she forwards the messages you send her to her so-called best friends and mocks you to the core. But then you still wait with the anticipation that things are going to be fine very soon. You stupidly wait looking at the sky, expecting the Sun to rise from the West!

You shamelessly keep sending her messages telling how much you love her, how much you miss her, all adding to the degradation of yourself. And then finally you realise- things can nomore be the same. Everything is lost. You too have started hating the person who hates you...but still you miss the lost past..
