Love's Philosophy
A/N : Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley is sweet poem, honey dripped, sugar coated, with the taste of all sweet things of life.
Love, is all about that,
even in hardships you feel sweet,
walking bare foot on a road of pebbles you feel flowers beneath,
in the night's dark you feel star struck,
even in a failed exam it is like start burst.
When you fall someone picks you,
in a deep hole, you feel flying in hues,
in love you don't see just black and white
there are all colors and you feel alright.
Love is all about that,
Some one is always beside you, remember that!
- Well this is originally by me because the poem Love's Philosophy is such a happy go one and fills me with enthusiasm.
I guess, everyone might be fed up with tense situations and all of that emotional one, so a very happy track for you is there which will last for a while, it will show different kinds of relationships bloom.
P R E S E N T D A Y
"Geez, Di I am so excited, it is like a dream come true." Preeti gushed to Suman as just 2 hours ago her flight landed to USA.
"I thought that we would get marry after Bhaiya and Sumo and so have to wait for another decade to get over." Pushkar sighed and side hugged Preeti.
"I am seriously happy for both of you. My cutie pie little sister grew up so big, I didn't even realise!" Suman smiled to them.
"Sumo, finally we will have some one to tease on." Shravan patted Pushkar's back playfully, so hard that he winced while Shravan grinned like a gold fish got caught in his fisherman's arrow.
Well, it's been 3 months since Shravan lost the case and after that Shravan got that case opened again and won it. In three months a lot of things changed - for better. Even though since then they hadn't met except exchanging few pleasantries with each other over phone and letters. Pushkar and Preeti told their parents about them being together and even if Kamini didn't agree to, Pushkar faced her infront of the family and told her about all the bad mouthings and sins she did in the name of jealously and money. It was a pretty dirty issue but later got solved with Preeti being sweet and caring towards her and like the whole universe turns, Pushkar and Preeti's live changed her thinking, and she accepted them. After that all things happened in kind of rush. Suman bagged a new deal and was all ready to open another restaurant and this time much bigger and also it was open air, the one in open garden and used for after marriage parties while Shravan was busy due to flying to and fro from New York to Canada because of 2 case's dates getting clash.
"You guys had been so busy, so we decided to come here instead." Puskar said keeping his hand on Suman's shoulder.
"Oh, really? Mr. Oh so Smart, I know that you ever wanted to Christian Wedding in New York and now when Shravan is in New York so you got the perfect opportunity." Suman playfully hit Pushkar's shoulder.
"What with you guys hitting me all the time?" Pushkar irritatingly said to Suman and Shravan to which all of them laughed loudly.
Shravan looked at Suman ever so lovingly, he love when she laughs. Like -
"With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine". It had been so long since they had laughed together to no ends. For them this occasion was like the first rain in hot deserts. It was a perfect occasion for them to be together and show what they mean to each other.
They wanted to enjoy it as lavishly as they can, it was a one time opportunity. They just have two options - to enjoy and make cherishable memories or take it as a easy to go and normal occasion. It was like - " See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;". For Suman it was time to show her sister how important she is to him, for Shravan to show his brother how much he loves him.
"Okay! I forgot to tell, Bhaiya you are the best man and Sumo you are Maid of Honor."
"God, you and Preeti planned it all long, we don't have a say. Right?" Shravan smirked.
"Obviously! It is our marriage. Only we will plan okay? Also we are so lucky to have Sumo. We don't have to do any errands like cake tasting and food tasting. We don't have to find one restaurant. This is amazing!" Pushar clasped his hands with Preeti looking at her with love.
Shravan and Suman smiled and got them in group hug with them.
AN HOUR LATER
Suman sipped her coffee as seconds as everyone moved to rest. So far, this was one of those best days after she came here. It was cheerful atmosphere and she wishes of Shravan to be there with them.
She opens Shravan's Journal and read his entry which was dated 2 and a half years ago, July 4.
She read as he writes, "Sumo was so uncanny to today. It was her parent's anniversary and she don't have them to say Happy Anniversary. It is like flying out of the cage yet being caged. It is like empowering yourself with all of those negetive vibes and even after turning them with positive you still have the same affect. Morning dew getting vapourized by those sour and shiny lights of the Sun. So many Metaphors and Smilie but what the person is feeling is all what it about is. Like - "If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea -
What are all these kissings worth".
To see your smile I can rip those radiant climes and we went for a day out in America's Independence Day."
2 AND A HALF YEARS AGO
"Shravan where are you taking me?"
"To the meadows!" He whispered.
"Where are they?"
"Where there is only you and me!" He smiled.
"And where is that?" She waited for him to say his poetry linez.
"Where Serenity exists!" and they stopped. Tho' tiny little world of people and enigmatic deits, they stopped it to themselves and their eyes shone with an emotion unknown and unripen. He wasn't realizing what he was saying in those forms of lovable words, whose meaning swirls together to worm a whirl where they can get themselves lost.
They wonder to themselves as how each of them comes from a world so small and yet therenown world is so big like those blocks of small, unfirtile land joint together to give them a little of fertility. They were those particles of sands that are joint together - a lump forming maybe, just what their lump had was so different. It had so much of things that one might keep it in their stone collection but they wouldn't break.
"So did you like it?"
"Off Course! I just love it. It is heavenly and ethereal." Suman said as they got themselves settled down at the middle of nowhere. They were on a date - kinda, ye' know unknown to them, on a silent agreement.
They were on a cliff which shone with those lanters and glow worms kept in glass boxes at distances.
"Fire flies weren't available so got Glow Worms!" Hearing this Suman scrunched.
"And you didn't have to tell me that bevause I wouldn't even had noticed. Worms sounds ugly but they glow, that kind of beautifies them." Suman said to which Shravan left a sighed laugh.
"So why did you bring me here?"
"Because it is 2 hour away from New Empire States Building and we have to see those fireworks from that building's top."
"That is exciting!"
"It will be if we doesn't get late and that will happen if we move to the dinner table." and they moved to the table with Shravan showing some courtesy - or chalvary as we call it.
"You made them?" She asked him as she put a cheese taco in her mouth, pointing towards the tacos, salsa sauce, grilled mac cheese pizza and mango smoothie kept on the table.
"Obviously, who would deliver here?" He said with mouth full with food, dripping a piece of Taco topping.
"Ishh- don't talk when you eat!"
"You asked the question !"
"You should've answered later."
"You could've asked later!" and for next half hour their sweet bickering continued which seemed no ending but some how they quickly got up and moved to their next destination, New Empire States Building,

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle -
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea -
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?
