First of all, thank you all soo much for voting me as the storyteller of remix forums..and thank you for thinking i deserve the award.. it meant a lot to me. Secondly, the reason that i was inactive was because i have my exams from monday; and i am currently taking a break from chemistry to put my thoughts about the Maxwell Boltzmann curve in order:P Thirdly, this is to rakhi, i'm really sorry about the analysis.. I promise i will write it as soon as i get the time to watch the videos.

Fourthly, this is a different kind of story which i did for an english course work, which only has dialogue and i use a song to describe the setting. i don't know how good this might be, but please give it a try. The song is Francis Dunnery's "Good Life."

Here you go:

Softly Now,

You owe it to the world.

"Do you take Ms. Anvesha Banerjee Ray as your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health until death parts you?

"I do."

"And do you, Ms. Ray, take this man, Mr. Yuvraj Dev as your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health, until death parts you?"

"I do."

"By the powers given upon to me from the Church, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

And everyone knows that you're my favorite girl

"I love you Ashi."

"Hmm. Really?"

"For ever and ever. And you know the most important thing? I will never stop loving you, no matter what happens. Because you're my girl, and in my heart, you will always have that special spot.

But there's some things in life that are not meant to be
I'm not meant for you and your not meant for me

"Ashi.. I have something to tell you."

"What is it, baby?"

"Ashi, I don't think this is working out. The whole us thing. Yes, I did love you when we married, but it was always more of a brotherly love. Ashi, I met someone .. she brought out something in me, which I thought I had lost for ever. I- I think it might be better if we separate.


Here's to our problems

"I don't think we ever had that spark, Ashi. And she- she has something I have always wanted. She has that force of happiness which really makes you believe that smiling is contagious. Ashi, I-I want a divorce."


And here's to our fights

"Yuvi, how dare you spring all this onto me? I love you dammit! And there is no way in hell we're getting divorced."

"This is my life, Ashi, and let me live it as I please."


Here's to our achings

"I'll miss you."

"I-I'll miss you too. We can still stay friends you know."

And here's to you having a Good life
From Me
Good Life

"Dear Ashi,

If you've turned around your divorce papers, you will probably see this note. All I wanted to say was… Good Luck. I still love you like the sister I had never had.. Hope you get all the happiness in the world.

Yours,

Yuvi."


Softer Now,
You owe it to yourself

"Dear Yuvi,

Thank you for the letter. It is currently burning in the fire at my new apartment. And, did I tell you that I don't care whether you wish me good luck or not?

Yours,

Ashi"


And don't think that you will be left on the shelf


"Excuse me, Madam, someone left these for you. I must say, though, these roses are a beauty. And they must be very expensive; take them in and nurse them. Red roses are a symbol of love."

Cause there's someone for you and there's someone for me

"These roses are for you. I saw you in the shopping mall; and there was something in your face that struck me. I just wanted to say that life is all about being sad. Don't wallow in self pity; and I hope the roses cheer you up.

A stranger."


Like me you'll meet them eventually

"Excuse me, Ma'am, could I take this seat."

"Of course."

"I see you're better now."

"Pardon?"

"Like my roses?"


Here's to your lover

"Ashi, I'm crazy about you. I know you're still in love with your ex-husband, but give me some time. I promise I can be the pillar of strength you always needed. Ashi, I-I think I love you."


And here's to my wife

"Do you take this woman, Mr. Dev, as your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health until death parts you?"

"I do."


Here's to your children and here's to you having a good life
From Me
Good Life

"Dear Ashi,

I read about your marriage in the newspaper. I hope you always remain happy; and life gives you enough of everything to make you as strong and beautiful as you are.

Please give my regards to your husband.

Yours,

Yuvi.


Louder Now,
You've lost all your pain

"Do you take this man, Ms. Banerjee, as your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health, until death parts you?"

"I do."


You're married with children and happy again

"Sweetie, I'm pregnant."

"Tha's great!"

"Isn't it? I'm so happy for our daughter; finally she will have a brother now.. just like the family I've always dreamt about."

"I love you Ashi.. and I love my family."

"I love you too, dear."


And now I'm regretting the move that I made

"Yuvi, this is not working out. I know this might as well be your second divorce, but do you want to live a life of sadness and pain. I'm really sorry, Yuvi, but I can't love you."


Fatal mistakes are so easily made
Enough of my problems they only cause fights

"Dear Ashi,

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry… for everything. I have always wanted your happiness, believe me. I guess a part of me thought that divorcing you would be the best idea. I'm sorry for everything.. and I will always and forever pray for your happiness and your good life.

Convey my regards to your husband and my love to your children.

Yours,

Yuvi."


Forget that I rang you
And promise you'll have such a
Beautifully happy and painlessly romantic
Good life
From Me
Good Life

Middle Aged Man found dead in own house.

A middle aged man was found dead in his own house today morning, discovered by one of the neighbors after repeatedly pressing the doorbell. He is identified to be Yuvraj Dev, 38, and the autopsy results show that the cause of his death has been pesticides. It still remains to see if it was a suicide or murder, but all the evidence highly points towards suicide. There was a note on his bedside table, and it contained of only four words:

"Have a good life."

Well, that was it. Please do reply.. with your comments and criticisms.. eagerly waiting :D..

happy reading,

shreyasi

ok i never commented on an AY shot but i just couldn't resist...

dis one is so sad....esp d ending...it took sum time for me 2 register d whole story...had 2 read it twice...

loved d way u conveyed d whole story with fewer words and through a chain of letters..one of my fav books used dis concept...and i loved d lines of d song u wrote in between...had never heard it before..

btw yuvi leaving ashi coz his feeling was more of a brotherly love is really hard to digest...anyways d best part was d beginning and d ending👏 👏 ...

amazingly well written..keep it up 😛

Hey nice n different one shot shreyasi...

the thought of brotherly feelings is deffo weird coz I can see AY as friends, even enemies..so much that they hate each other's guts so much...

but never as bro-sis

As for this concept...the idea of conveying through letters was nice...and unique..rarely see this in fics.

As for the last news item about yuvi dying...it struck me that I have read this in some book...where the man's wife leaves him and he suicides..and then the writer shows a news item just like you did 😉
