#Love

Sujai pulled out the ring and asked, “Will you marry me?” She opened her hands to reveal a ring which she has got to propose to him. Their eyes were filled with love.

#Comic

Boss: Why were you late?

Me: Because I was late!

Boss: What made you come late?

Me: I was late to office so I came late.

*he laughs loudly and does a facepalm*

#Compassion

It was my niece’s birthday and we all were partying (with cakes and coke). Suddenly she cut a piece of cake, put it in a plate and gave it to our house maid.

#Anger

He whistled at me, this went on for weeks, I shunned eye contact. That day when I walked with my little sister he whistled, I gave him a tight slap on his face.

#Valor

I was struggling to reach the top rack. Little did I know my saree was on fire, my Labrador pulled my saree away with full-force that the burning part tore away from me.

#Fear

My niece promised me that she will be happy to go on her school trip to Shimla. She called after reaching,

She: Mausi, I miss you.

I sensed the fear in her voice.

#Disgust

It was Sneha’s wedding and there was one room left for all the 10 ladies of the house to get ready. Suddenly, there was a stench; everyone kept a disgusting and suspicious face.

#Wonder

I gazed at a Titan Raga Watch, saw the price tag and walked away. Two days later, a package in my room;

Happy Birthday Sri! With Luv, XXX.

It was the same watch.

#Tranquility

“It’s over”, he said.

I walked away. He didn’t follow, nor did I expect him too. I took an auto as I didn’t want him to drop me back. Calmness engulfed me completely.
