Breaking Up! (A humorous take)

“Enufff”…”I can’t take this anymore”…“It ain’t working”…

These are just few of the words that you hear or you don’t even hear when you know your relationship is staring at a dead end. And surprisingly you wonder what went wrong? The relation that looked so promising and you had bet your life on it is just tearing apart.

 Like the few past instances where you have been ignoring the signs of this impending disaster, you try to ignore it again…but this time it strikes you flat in the face. Yes…It’s over!!

The first few days are the most painful. It’s such mixed bag of emotions that you have never felt before. One moment you try to let it go, the other moment you are revengeful, the next you think you can make it work….but in the end you are sitting down holding your head with tears in your eyes at not being able to find a quick fix.  

But that’s it…you accept it or not…it’s there.

Now this is where the humor starts…

1. The first few days are over and finally you are able to sleep. But alas…they follow you into your dreams and yes…the happy days are back…everything is fine. You are ecstatic and the smile on your face is never-ending, unfortunately to last till the morning or the moment you wake up (whichever is earlier).
2. You take so much time to brush n bathe and do other important* things, that the people around you are unsurprisingly irritated.
1. Example 1 - You wait between the brush strokes until the foam forms a coating on your teeth.
2. Example 2 – In the loo…(better understood than said) J. “Hey….damn you, I need to go”…is what wakes you up.
3. Example 3 – The soap in your hand is for applying and not for staring. And mind you...you are paying bills for the water that is gushing down the drain unused.
4. Example 4 – While eating you hang the spoon in the air and others assume it to be a new art where you are trying to digest the food without eating it. Add to it the “gaze into the haze” with people surrounding you try to locate the object that’s stopping you from having your food.
3. You pretend to be listening. You keep assuring with an indifferent “hmm”…”hmm” or there is nothing….you are not even there. This might land you in a trouble esp. when you end up agreeing to the assignments/deadlines set by your boss. You realize this the next day when your boss asks for the results.
4. You are back from a non-existent appearance from your college/work place and still haven’t changed the dress. Half of it is on you and half across the room.
5. Finally…the day comes to an end but you can’t just sleep. You keep rolling over the bed sheet unless you fall asleep……due to fatigue of rolling.

And thus the cycle continues.
