Pure

Their first date. She dressed simple. Her natural beauty was captivating. Those big eyes, supple lips, glowing skin and silky hair. They held hands. It was magic. The breeze blew her hair over his face. "Your hair smells so good", he said. With a cute smile she replied, "It's Parachute - 100% pure coconut oil".

Supernatural

She could foresee people's future. With an impressively large client list and a jam packed calendar, her predictions were much spoken about.

When her close friends ask about how she didn't predict her own messy life, her reply always was, "You can't be right about everything, everytime. You've got to leave certain things to fate!"

Watch

Atul glanced at his watch for the nth time. I knew that only 25 minutes had passed.

He paced up and down the corridor, restless. Wanted to smoke real bad, but did not. Fear, anxiety, thrill, hope. A myriad of inexplicable emotions is all I saw, of this dad to-be.

Possibility

Probability of the impossibility for the improbable becoming a possibility is quite probably possible.

Indifference

Ravi sensed that everyone avoided him. He was no longer part of his friends' clique. It was eternal wonderment to him on what changed in the last few months.

'Indifference', he would say.

'If he has not figured it by now, he will never know", say his friends.

Close

She sat on the bed, hugged him tight. She could feel his sweat. He was gasping for breath. She planted a soft kiss on his forehead. "I always loved you, dad. Even when you hated me for marrying John."

Tears rolled down as he uttered his last words, "You were always close to my heart."
