My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Feelings and Emotions from A to Z in 55 Words. Today, P is for Proud.
She stares at me with hurt written all over her face.
A lump rose in her throat and her body shook involuntarily.
Tears sting her eyes as she silently pleads to stay back.
A part of me screams, “We’re not meant to be!”
And a part of me smiles that she loves me despite everything.
Join me in enjoying blogs from fellow A to Zers… Parul and Prasanna today! Do share some blog love with them too!

Thanks for reading, Susan 🙂
Isn’t love mixed with pride such a strange beast? Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
Strange indeed… wonder how the two meet. Is it true love in that case?
Pride is such an interesting emotion…sometimes it’s to our detriment and other times, it can be so powerful.
This is such a unique take on Pride, but very apt. Nicely done, Shilpa. 🙂
This happens. Pride comes to us no matter how bad the situation inducing the pride is. Its only natural. Short but powerful post.
A great take on the emotion! Sometimes the feeling of pride comes involuntarily..negative or positive.
That is a completely different take on the emotion! Lovely 🙂
It’s a beautiful post! A different take on pride!
Pride is such a strong emotion. At times it is the only solace!
A serious post today, pride well narrated.
That’s a unique take. Pride can be taken all differently many times. Good one Shilpa!

Very unique take on the emotion. Loved it, Shilpa. 🙂

Pride can be a pain in the /%/%&… – sometimes an obstacle for love, I think. Good one, Shilpa:-)

I love your take and twist on pride: a short, powerful punch! 😉 <3
Despite everything, that’s what matters. Lovely post
An unexpected emotion to come in between the two, eh?! Loving all your short stories!
ohh what a mixed feeling… 🙁
Interesting take on Pride, it’s right there between the lines.
Oh… the contradiction of being in love and feeling pround of the same!!
Pride – is a known enemy , tough to tame.
But this post, a bit too tough to accept.
Hmm. Wish it wasn’t so tough to swallow…
I never thought of pride in this kind of situation! Interesting take.
A wonderful take on pride! 🙂
Sometimes despite the love, feelings and all the emotions we have for a person, we just have to move away. Beautiful. 🙂
Another good one, Shilpa. You are a master at these short emotional little scenes!
Beautifully described. Pride is a strong emotion. Good one !
