A human being is a very simple creation, but at the same time, it has emotional, psychological and nerve (tolerance, bearing, coping up with) complication. Sometimes they are courageous sometimes overawing, shying, egocentric. Sometimes they are courageously open, express their love boldly, sometimes because of shyness and or egocentrism, they hide their emotion in some deviation and distraction like in my story SHOELACES. If you have watched (if not please do watch) last episode (the ending) of Harry Potter. You will understand “the medium” of this deviation and distraction. I remember a long time ago I read a short story in which the same distraction was mentioned. These two events, Harry Potter, and the short story were in my mind and I had kept them in the safe locker of my memory box to use sometime. I have a number of times told my readers in EC that events, incidents, clues hints, ideas are scattered, exist all around us. You have to have just an observing eye. Stories and blogs come out of your thoughts like sprinkles from a fountain, drops of dew sparkling on the leaves in a fresh morning.

Anyway, I was talking about the hiding of emotions within self or using some distraction and deviation in a medium like ‘shoelaces’. Yes, this is not good for the relationship. Sometimes it creates complicated deprivation. Ghazi in my story Shoelaces is the victim of the same complication. Maybe because of his shyness or egocentric, maybe he does not understand his own feelings, or in his particular case he does not have much time to understand himself and or Sara’s feelings and called back by his parents to get married. Anything can be possible. I leave it to my readers to decide. But it is an undeniable fact that one if find him/herself in any of such circumstances at least open your heart, if not to the subject, to any trustworthy friend for an advice. Remember not all stories have happy endings.

I remember in one of my blogs (http://www.myenglishclub.com/profiles/blogs/writing-challenge-a-page-from-my-biography-1)

I mentioned:

“MI was deep in thought while they both walked back to home. He was thinking whether it was possible that a man could get his very first love (a quiet, unspoken, undeclared love), as his life partner, for whom he longed since he came into the senses of boyhood since he started to know the ‘LOVE’.”

And you know what did she say when I told my wife about this after marriage,?

“Why didn’t you tell me before!  So much time would have been saved from being wasted!!”
