Things went from bad to worse over a period of few months. True, they had known each other for a long time but tying the knot meant taking on more responsibilities. It meant sharing not just the good things, but the bad stuff as well.
The blame game started soon after. Egos grew bigger, till they touched the sky. Coming back down to earth seemed almost like an impossible feat. Bank accounts doubled, tripled and the size of their hearts grew smaller and smaller. So small that it was difficult to even find place for the love that they shared initially.
Until one day, she grew fed up with all the fighting and whispered those magic words, one that neither of them had bothered to utter since the day they had started living together.
"I'm sorry", Ophelia whispered.
Maybe it didn't solve all of their problems. Maybe all it did was buy them a little more time. Or maybe, just maybe, they learned to take the first steps together in forgiving each other in a long journey.
Very true. Well said. Those two magic words can build very big bridges to connect broken hearts.
ReplyDeleteVery crisply written, Aathira. Good job !
Indeed. Sometimes all it takes are those two words to work a miracle. Thanks a lot, Mr Parsa :)
DeleteYes. Sometimes, taking the first step fixes a lot of things in the long run, the bigger picture. :) I hope they have a great life ahead.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Not everyone does that though.
DeleteI hope so too :) Thanks Leo.
So true. Sometimes "I'm sorry" is the best way to start anew.
ReplyDeleteYes :) And sometimes it's the only way. Thank you, Reema!
DeleteLetting go off the ego within us and saying sorry is not at all easy!
ReplyDeleteIt is not. But once we do, it can be liberating :) Thank you!
DeleteI love your turn of phrase! egos reached the sky. Hearts grew so small they couldn't find love. Great writing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jen :)
DeleteLove the end. A well narrated and crisply done story. The Ego removes many barriers that stifle a relationship.

Yes. It can work a miracle for all we know. Thank you, Betty.
DeleteSuch simple words aren't these? But why is it so difficult to say them, forgive, forget and move on! Life is too small to be limiting it to petty squabbles and egos.
ReplyDeleteLovely post.

In the end, it all comes down to ego. Very few choose to give it up and up apologize. Thank you, Kala :)
