Today I am butterfly and attracted to the bud which I have seen lately. The bud attracts me towards it by its fragrance and the mere simplicity. I would love to watch it blossom and eager to taste nectar. But can someone tell me by doing that am I not deceiving the leaf which gave me shelter during my early days when I was only a worm?

Yes, down the lane of memory, I was a small worm which took shelter with that thin, transparent leaf to hide from my enemies like birds and reptiles. The leaf took pity in me and decided to give shelter to me and save me from the world of enemies. As a first step, the transparent leaf grove hard and dark, so that I was not visible to anyone from its cover. It fed me with its own juice and with that it started shrinking but it didn't disown me even then. It never thought of its own life but took my responsibility as an elder and saved me like a shield there by for an onlooker, it looked like a withering colorless, shrunken & an ugly leaf. But that ugliness was the result, it on itself to give me my life. It took all those shapes (wrinkles) just to give rivals a feeling that there is nothing behind that hard lifeless leaf except for the protruding bones which looks unattractive but no one see its effort to save me, it jeopardized its own life. It took shapes according my necessity & accordingly it modified itself so much that even it doesn't know what its own originality is and how delicate it was. Now everyone looks at this cactus leaf and sees only the thorns but no one knows why it overgrew those thorns. Those were not required for the leaf but for me. So I had promised the leaf that no one in this world can take its position in my life as it had sacrificed its complete life for my welfare.

Now I have overgrown my worm life and am a beautiful butterfly which every one adores. All of a sudden I saw that rode bud, which was about to blossom, which was a new sight for me. The roses were never grown in the desert I born & grew up. Its beauty and fragrance attracted me much that for a moment, I forgot about my life shaver, who shaped my life and fell for this new flower. Yes, when I transferred that bud from its original garden, I ensured I brought its plant along with as I just could not think of the bud wither. But I could not gather the courage to tell the leaf that I grown fond of the rose bud and said, the bud teased me for flying around and to teach it a lesson, I plucked that plant from its garden and made it alone. Now it will have its punishment here living in a totally different climate and my friend, the leaf believed me and got ready to punish the bud. Now what should I do? Neither could I defend the bud as the leaf was my life all along and it lived its life only for me that it doesn't even know that there may be a life without me. At the same time, I can't see the bud hurting as it hurts me. What should I do now that I will not hurt both and they have a mutual admiration? Can someone help me here with this difficulty?

Today I don't know what is happening to me, I am more and more attracted to the bud that I am feeling dejected towards the leaf. I am waiting for the bud to blossom, so that I can drink the nectar to my content. The juice of the leaf, which was my favorite food so far, has started tasting bitter. I know I am wrong by comparing the leaf and flower but I love both and would like to have both. But the leaf has taken my words too seriously that it treats the bud as its own enemy (as it treated the birds and reptiles, which were only my enemies and not the leaf's) and has taken a oath that it will not allow the bud near me which is irritating me. But the bud has realized these feelings of the leaf and keep advising me to go to the leaf as that was there in my life from the beginning and that had sacrificed its total life in my name. But why can't the leaf also thinks in those lines and accepts the bud as its own, so that the bud decides to blossom? Unless the leaf accepts the bud, the bud will not allow me to go anywhere near it. But the leaf is reluctant and is treating the bud as rival which is all set to snatch me from the leaf. What do I do now? How will I assure the leaf that I will be its forever despite sharing my life with the flower? I will I make it understand that o flower can take its place in my life, be it rose or jasmine, the leaf will have the first place in my life and no one will ever be able to displace it from that position.

I am, your Jalal is in need of timely advise from you wise people, to convince my donor (the leaf), Ruqaiya that the rose bud, princess Jodha will never dreamt to dislodge her position. Till such time, Ruqaiya accepts Jodha as her own, Jodha will never be mine. Pleaseadvise me the next course of action with which I can win both my life saver & Life donor. I can't afford to lose anyone of these two

Nice symbolic post of JaJoRuq as a butterfly, rosebud & a leaf. Well, according to me, the butterfly might try telling the leaf that now it likes both the leaf & the rose in it s life in an equal manner. But if the leaf isnt in a mood to listen to this, then it has to learn its lesson after a bitter fall, bcos this is the nonerasable truth of their future lives.

And also I d like to correct one thing in that the leaf didnt shield or protect the butterfly all these years, atleast in Jalal s case he pampered & indulged Ruq, so the leaf tho has been a good friend, should learn things grow up & evolve & there's always room for changes without having to alter the old arrangement much.

So let s see if the leaf understands this all by herself or she ll learn it only when it might get too late. Thanks for ur post & the synonyms cited 😳

Wow! Superb post. What a simitude between Butterfly, Leaf and Bud with the characters.
My advice is for the Butterfly not to deject the leaf as she was there while growing up. He also should have heart to heart talk with the Leaf to make her realize his feelings for the Bud and assure her that her position will never be taken by anyone.

Dear Butterfly,
You are so caught up between your love of the leaf and the bud that you have forgotten that you are a separate person in your own right. Every one of us is born on this Earth with a destiny to fulfill. In getting caught with the destinies of the leaf and the bud you have forgotten that you have your own destiny to fulfill apart from your intermingling with the leaf or the bud.
Remember ... if you look at yourself in the mirror you don't see the caterpillar you once were which was the friend of the leaf. Now your destiny has changed you from a caterpillar to a cocoon which you then tore apart and emerged as a butterfly. You had to tear apart the cocoon yourself when the right time came and though it was painful that growth was necessary for you could not have remained a caterpillar all your life, staying close to the leaf that gave you nourishment. In those days you could not fly. You did not have a duty to sit on flowers and distribute pollen between them to make the enire plant's destiny fulfilled. Now that you've torn your cocoon and become a butterfly, you have a bigger role. The leaf cannot help you any more to fulfill that bigger role. That is why you are attracted to the bud in the first place, because it is the future calling.
Your conflict is that you are trapped between the friendships you had and the friendships you want to have ... but you have forgotten that you personally owe a bigger role to the very plant as a whole and to the new you that you have become.
The issue arises because you feel somehow guilty for having become a butterfly and having to leave the leaf behind in the attraction for the bud. But thereshould be no guilt for it is Nature at work and not you. You are not the author of your life. A Greater Hand above us all is the author of every life.
The leaf may feel bad for a while and try to keep you to itself. But ask yourself, is the leaf really the jealous one - or is it you that is reluctant to grow up? Is the bud that is attracting you - or part of you that wants to grow up and fulfill the destiny for which you were born. Don't cast blame on old and new friends because of your own unreadiness to grow up.
For a while just forget who else was or is with you in this journey - leaf or even bud - and just think of yourself, your role so far and your greater role in life now as a Butterfly. You owe it to the Greater Destiny to find yourself first. After you have found out where your past is and where your future lies, find the courage to part with the past and embrace the future. Remembber the destiny of the leaf in furthering your life has been completed. The destiny of the bud in taking forward your life is incomplete.
If everything in this Universe is ruled by Destiny, then we have the first responsibility to fulfill the roles given to us, before we wonder if those who already fulfilled their roles want to hang on to us, or those who are yet to fiulfil their roles are reluctant to be with us. Let Destiny itself heal the ones that need healing becuase they are gone into the past ... and let Destiny itself blossom the one that are ready to blossom.
A wise person once said that "People and things in the Universe only have conflict when they think they are God. They think they have to solve the problems of others, and in the process forget that they too are only playing a role they have to fulfill".
So don't forget to play your own destined role just because you feel you have to play God to the leaf and the bud. Let Nature and God do her work of healing some and blooming some, and let Nature and God take you where you have to go.
Be a part of Nature, but don't get conflicted forgetting that you too have a role and that role is not to try and play God for others!

What a beautiful post, but according to nature things evolve and change, from a worm to a butterfly likewise the leaf need to evolved and adapt to the changes around or it will whither and die.
Ruku needs to realise that she is no longer jalal chief queen they are two more, instead of fighting for position she needs to change and adapt to the new situation and she will be happy.

Hi, thanks for reading an dresponding. The leaf was never reluctant to accomodate necessary changes for the worm and accordingly it did welcome some more leaves to their life just to satisfy the worm and its needs. But now the question is the new entry or the new attraction is totally a different species and the leaf is scared to accept that as one among the group.
It has also realized that the change in teh worm which is turning out to be a butterfly , so it is scared of losing its friend as it can't even imagine a life without its friend and it is not sure, once the butterfly taste teh nectar, whether it will remember the leaf and its sacrifies as the leaf has totally forgotten a life of its own without the worm. Added to that, the butterfly is so attracted to the bud, it is showing its changed feelings already by getting irritated with other leaves and also giving more priority to the bud, which is not even accomodating the butterfly so far. For the butterfly this is a sudden change and it takes a hell lot of time to accept the change

Thank you for reading and posting your view. Yes, it is in the hands of butterfly to console & cajole the leaf with patience. With its attraction towards the bud, it i sforgetting the fact that the qualities and possesiveness of Leaf is the scope & importance given by butterfly when it had no idea of being attracted by someone else. So it should learn to be patient and make the way fro the leaf to get used to the company of the new member in their family, the flower.
