Part -2: Isolation vs quarantine : Relationship vs Distance

Part-2: Continued…. 

In the previous part, I did mention, missing each other shows your relationship is healthier. But, it is important to keep aside the differences that raise self-esteem and personal dignity while inspiring mutual trust, personal responsibility, bring in increased cooperation and greater love. 

The story most of you would have experienced, so did my friend too, after his marriage. The couple has been together in love for almost 10years, since college days. One fine day their dream came true, the day of knot and ring. A year later; after a week of their son was born, his wife Natasa and Stephen were completely sick. It happens, their son kept waking them, while Natasa couldn’t bear the pain of delivery she underwent. She was barely able to walk and had to live through pains with the medicines prescribed, that’s how she manages herself and feel better. 

Days later, Natasa ran out of medicines, while Stephen was busy held up in an assignment at the office. Ram, Stephens’ brother visited their place accidentally and assured to get pain killers and sadly Ram did not return with the medicines. I know how terrible it should be with distress and pain. When Stephen returned, he felt the guilt of what happened and understood Natasa is upset and also misunderstood the emotions. Natasa said, “Hey Steve, I have been in pain all day, the prescribed medicine is over, I was paralysed on the bed and nobody to care for me or my son”. 

Steve replied, “ Why didn’t you call me?” 

She replied, “ I asked Ram to get it for me, while he was here this noon for the books he was looking for and he forgot. I was waiting for him this long and he never turned up once and I couldn’t walk any further and felt helpless on the bed” 

Steve exploded inside, the fuse has gone, angry that she didn’t call him, was thinking that

she was blaming him, rather understanding the pain. Steve, started exchanging harsh words, and they both had already exhausted and exceeded their limits. As steve couldn’t tolerate, he walked towards the door, took his keys from the hook and while about to open the doors, Natasa said, “Wait, Don't go, don’t leave me, where are you going, this is the time I need you the most. I am in pain, not slept all these days, stop and please listen to me steve”.

Read it once again, read it carefully, as long as she was sweet, loving, romantic, caring, he was there with her, but the moment she is not, he tries walks through the door. 

Stephen paused, put the keys back and covered his tears in the elbow, slowly turned back, while Natsa had her tears running down and with the low tone she said, “ I have nothing to give you, I am in complete pain and this is the moment I completely need you. Please come next to me, I am not even asking you to speak, just come closer”, Steve moved closer, she held his hands and said, “I just need to feel your arms around, ly my head on your shoulders”. 

All she needed to be was his arms, shoulders to rest, wept on his arms and a few minutes later she whispered in his ear, “ Thanks Steve, I Love you” and once again she pulled him closer. With the melody on the background, stars lightened up the night. 

The bell rang, it was Dawn, Sunkissed moments, the time was 0610hrs. 

All women want is just to understand the real meaning of love. That’s the moment of unconditional love, most of the time we may feel we are loving persons, when she is unhappy or ill, people feel liable, then argue and distance themselves. Feel great by not leaving your loved ones during pain, stay with them, feel the love, succeeded in giving what they need and be the hour of the time. It always feels easy to look in a way of supporting, the way you show each other, but may not be every time. Women instinctively knew things, but, what you need to know is, touching, holding and most importantly listening to them patiently are more and most important. Friends, by knowing the differences of each other begin the life, resolve this momentary hurdles use this quarantine to understand each other so that conflicts can be easily scraped.

Dedicated to my love...
