His Love
I was drawn to her so strongly, as if she had cast a spell on me. She is my life and she knows it too.
Her indifference, yes, it hurts. But the happiness she brings in my life is more than this pain.
Yesterday, when I was peering at her through the window, I saw her brooding.
A searing pain shot through my heart. I wanted to put my arms around her but she ruined it.
The policeman who booked me for harassing her, called me sick and obsessive. I smiled, ‘Aah! When was the road to true love easy!’.
Linking this to July 2014 Ultimate Blogging Challenge and NaBloPoMo
This month, I plan to share Drabbles on Emotions along with a few book reviews.

Beautiful twist at the end, Shilpa. THen again, you are a master of the art 🙂
July 2, 2014 9:34 am|
Oh, you are too generous, Shailaja 🙂 Thanks 🙂
July 1, 2014 9:28 am|
This story justifies the fact that love is blind…because love follows the path of its own through feelings and not through eyes…lovely drabble!
July 2, 2014 11:24 am|
True that! But this obsessive love or the one sided love can be really scary for the other person!
July 1, 2014 9:31 am|
Yeah, that could be painful, especially when you are misunderstood like that…perspective 🙂
July 2, 2014 11:27 am|
Oh yes, it is all about perspective. Like they say, one person’s craziness is another person’s reality!!
July 1, 2014 11:41 am|
Nice! Sometimes our intentions are completely misread.
July 2, 2014 11:32 am|
Yes and that can change the whole course of the relationship!
July 1, 2014 11:59 am|
The way to true love is never easy. Very nicely you have concluded!
July 2, 2014 11:32 am|
Thanks Ma’am! 🙂
July 1, 2014 12:34 pm|

Thanks Jo. Glad you liked it 🙂
July 1, 2014 1:40 pm|
So often our intentions are misread. Glad he could smile through it all.
July 2, 2014 11:34 am|
May be in this case they were correct!
July 1, 2014 1:51 pm|
But Obsession often kills the love! Wonderfully penned!
July 2, 2014 11:35 am|
Oh yes. It can be so stifling! Thanks Nibha! 🙂
July 1, 2014 1:55 pm|

Thank you Vinodini! 🙂
July 1, 2014 7:46 pm|
Why do not you compile your short stories , these 100 stuff and offer to a literary agent ?
July 2, 2014 11:46 am|
Aha! I am beaming at your suggestion! Thank you, Anil. But I guess, there’s still a long way to go! 🙂
July 1, 2014 7:56 pm|
A very interesting write-up on a perspective that is often missed. But not on your blog 🙂 Nicely done, Shilpa!
July 2, 2014 11:46 am|
You are too generous, Beloo. Thanks 🙂
July 1, 2014 10:33 pm|
Yes, that’s what a stalker thinks he’s doing. Sigh
July 2, 2014 11:47 am|
Sadly, he thinks that he is doing it right! 😐
July 1, 2014 10:59 pm|
Nice twist, where passion turns to obsession. 😀
July 2, 2014 11:48 am|
Thanks Kathy! And it can be so unnerving for the other person!
July 1, 2014 11:14 pm|
That is one difficult road he has taken 🙂 Interesting to read the other side.
July 2, 2014 11:49 am|
Difficult and the one that will not lead to success! Thanks Leo 🙂
July 1, 2014 11:35 pm|
Love how you are committed! 😀 Looking forward to your Drabbles!

Pyaar Mein Toh Yeh Hota Hai
July 3, 2014 9:24 pm|
Agree, the stalkers should be banished!
July 3, 2014 11:18 am|

Tina from The Sunny Side of Life
July 3, 2014 9:25 pm|
Hmmm… one sided love, yes it’s sad, but stalking and obsession… well that’s bad!
July 8, 2014 8:46 am|
Oh 🙁 Poor love 🙁 Well, as you’ve rightly said, the road to love is never easy 🙂
