Sometimes I wonder, if Pain had ever been a human, It would have been a man for sure, not a woman coz women by default are soft and emotional. But I am sure he would be one tough guy made of stone, who is busy with one soul after the other with his work of just hurting and hurting deep. Well…Meet my stalker, Mr. Pain!
When I look back, I realize we have been living together for long. Not that I enjoy his company. I seem to despise him and most of the times very scared of him. But still when he is away, probably hurting somebody else for a change, I wondered about his absence. He seldom left my side but very rarely he would leave me to catch-up on others’ misery.. Otherwise, He is pretty attentive to me. He follows me wherever I go, he gets involved in whatever I do, he sits and waits when I am sleeping and jumps back to work as soon as I am awake. He is so work oriented that if he has been working for any Corporate, he would have been the best performer quarter after quarter…
I couldn’t let him go..not that I haven’t tried. I tried many ways..I tried lending him, but no one took him.. I tried sending him away, he always came back.. I tried gifting him, he was returned. Not that he doesn’t behave, but his constant nagging was deafening. Even though my friends offered to babysit him for a while, after few days, they unceremoniously left him at my door step.
He wasn’t mine. He was gifted to me, gifted by someone very very special. We were exchanging gifts. My gift was the most precious possession I had, my Love and in return I got this guy, wrapped and tied with a blue ribbon! He was then so small like a newborn puppy, tiny, sweet and nonthreatening. If one saw him then, one would never imagine the gigantic form he is in right now. He looked up to me so helplessly that I held him closer to my heart. Mr. Pain liked it so much that he made my heart his permanent home…
