you can accept me...you can reject me
that remains your preference ,prerogative ,prejudice...as you choose
you can like me,dislike me ,love me or hate me
i have no say in the matter
i choose to have no say in the matter yet i choose to remain who i am
not change ,ever...unless i choose to...
So thought Sneha ,after another bitter row ...in fact two substantial rows ,
first with her mother in the morning and later with her boyfriend in the
afternoon.
Her mother had a straight forward request(so she said) ,she like (almost)
all mothers did not approve of her sweet little daughter who was not so little
any more to go around with this guy.There was no reason for her disapproval ,
at least none that she would share with her daughter.Sneha's mother had
taken to snide taunts ,oblique references and was leading to a full fledged showdown.....saying in various ways that she did not love her mother(who
loved her so much)
Could love be a bargaining point? could love be so selfish?
The mornings row was simply a step towards that.
Well she thought...so be it!
Her boyfriend was quite a trendy and a smart guy(so he believed),
he like (almost)all boys did not approve of his sweet virginal girlfriend
who was not so keen to go all the way with him.There was no reason
for him to press her to enter a physical relationship with him at once ,at
least none that he could convince her with.Sneha's boy friend had taken
to snide taunts ,oblique references and was leading to a full fledged showdown....implying in various ways that she did not love him(he who
loved her so much)
The afternoon row was simply a step towards that.
Could love be so manipulative? Could love be so selfish?
So be it...she thought..the bottom line is that i know my mind ,i know what i want,what i can live with....i know who i am..
Ready for showdown(s)...she sure was!
sometimes just being true to one's own needs ,nature and convictions needs a whole lot of courage...
Especially with mothers & boyfriends!
