A Dream to Overcome

Argument for Ego

It was an abnormal evening for Arjun and Smitha they both were arguing on their beautiful evening date in the beach shore with a beautiful old red wine on the table accompanied with fire dancing candles and mouth-watering expensive food. It took around six months of plan and money saving for Arjun to bring this beautiful day but they both never thought their beautiful day will turn up into this huge disaster. Arjun tried to make everything normal but nevertheless, it turned worse when Arjun went to slap Smitha in front of other couples who were enjoying their day just as like everybody, he urged his hand but stopped abruptly when he witnessed her eyes were shedding tears. Arjun knows he shouldn't slap a girl, not because of his mom's childhood lesson, he promised himself that he would never hurt Smitha even by his words.

Smith felt the whole place came to a halt when Arjun raised his hand on her. Her face and sense turned numb and her heart missed a beat for a second and her eyes closed tightly to avoid his angry love. She can't able to feel the pleasant wind blowing directly from the sea that makes her face and cheeks moist all the time. She can't able to feel the disappearing evening sun where she always uses to say "goodbye see you tomorrow and bring some more colours and memories", the taste of the wine in her tongue felt bitter, she completely felt that she's unsafe and insecure at this moment. All she wishes is to run away from him and this place in order to protect her. For a moment she felt she's was in the hands of a worse man who is ready to hit a girl in public.

There were no moments on her body for few seconds; Arjun felt cursed when he saw his lucky charm like a snail went into its shell to protect itself from a danger. When Arjun tired to lift her Smitha regretted it with a discussing face, it took a minute for her to overcome from that moment of shock. She got up from the chair wiped her tears and adjusted her dress then checked around to ensure that no one was watching this stupid awkwardness but for her surprise, each and every single person around the place were fixed their eyes on them. More than Smitha the girl on the next table was still on a shock she covered her mouth with both of her hands.

Smith started to move away from the place quickly followed by Arjun, she didn't even turn back when Arjun called her name aloud just like he did before three years when he chased her like hell to prove his love. But now after three years, smith didn't even bat her on him she just reached the road and started to weep again. Arjun stood before she grabbed her hand forcefully and asked his apologies.

"Why you stopped and what made you to not hit me Arjun, come on just slap me and let your anger accomplish its destiny," she said with tears rolling down without control.

"Please don't make to do that Smitha, I'm just controlling myself not to hurt you even by my words please don't make me hurt physically", the words expressed frustration.

She started to cry heavily again and this time she felt totally weak and down.

"Arjun, Finally I came to know where I am in your heart at the moment you raised your hand" she coughed and said, "do you how it feels aArjun?".

"I am really fed up smiltha", he started to breathe heavily "I am really fed up of explaining each and everything to you, again and again, I don't think you understood everything. Whenever I said no to something instead of asking why all you do is just arguing for the sake of argument" he said the whole thing in a single breath.

"Yeah Arjun you are right" she wiped her eyes and mascara with a cloth "I never listened to you or your words. All the mistakes were just by me and my stupidest heart which made me love you in such way to accept whatever you say without even thinking about my own personal preference or opinion".

Arjun covered his face with both of his hands and shouted.

"ahhhhhhhhhhh! Smitha I never meant in such way, not just you no other girls will ever understand the true love and pain with stress undergone by all the guys, all you people care is about just winning the argument just because of your own stupid ego to ask sorry for what you did".
