TALE 47 - Soliloquy of destiny's child...

He was an orphan 
His uncle n aunt raised him as their own
He had to take up a job early 
He worked while he studied in college
Theatre was his pulse
He thrived on the high that live performances rendered...
At the same time personally he craved to have a home he could call his own
He got into the field with tremors of unsureness 
Balancing education passion and profession was a task for him at such a young age...
He strongly felt the need of finding that special someone to be with him in this journey... 
He thought that such company would make life easy and seeking the balance worthwhile...
He first fell for a girl who was a part of his theatre group...
She d spent time with him, support him all way...built confidence in him wherever he came across any lacking...
With her encouragement he dared to direct, act, write, express, form a group and win....
Victory gave him wings of confidence to firmly stand up in the creative field...
They were in a phase of seeking and bonding...
They loved being with each other...
He got serious in love 
For her , he was special and there couldn't be more to it...
She changed college...
They lost touch...
He kept having a soft corner for her...
He then met another girl in a theatre group outside college...
She had set up a production house...
She was an independent dashing girl with guts to put in everything for her dreams...
She invested time efforts and money into creative pursuits and made him the captain of the ship...
He was to direct the play and she showed faith in him....
They shared a lot in the journey as creative individuals...
The play ran well...
Won many accolades n gave him a name...
He thought, now this girl would be perfect to be his life partner...
She could understand the graph of an artist...
He again got serious...
But she fell in for a much young new bee 
Why one falls for another is a puzzle that he could never fathom...
He then got a chance to direct a production of another prestigious college where he fell in for his lead actress...
She oblivious of his interest never came close to any sharing with or caring for him... 
That play was turned onto a commercial play which established him as a successful director...
In the mean while he fell for his cousin sister and this time she fell for him as well...
They shared it with their family...
They opposed and hence she backed out...
Alone again he engrossed himself in his next theatrical presentation which acquired a lot of critical acclaim.... 
In the mean while he finally fell for a girl who agreed to marry him...
They lived happily for some years till she encouraged him to keep seeking fulfillment in creative pursuits... 
Suddenly things changed...
His late night rehearsals weekend shows, production house meets, reading sessions, writing assignments, started bothering his wife...
She was a non artist but had fallen for him because he was an artist...
What once was a highpoint in their relation suddenly became a point of conflict... 
With no real hobbies she had no point where she could feel complete just by herself...
She depended on him for her happiness...
He had his art to keep him happy...
Yet he felt a need to have her as a partner because he valued home...
She left him to return to her parents...
Married yet alone he tried everything he could to bring her back...
He finally shifted to her maternal home for giving it another chance...
His need for assurance and security of having a family came from a deep rooted loss of parents very early in life...
His need for grounding... Coming back to a warm home made him compromise on his independence and shed his ego to come live with her... If that made her happy...
Just that he could never change the nature of his art...
It did require long hours of practice...
It wasn't a 9 to 5 job for sure but that was his pulse....
She wasn't too pleased with it but she was happy to be living with her parents and husband...
This is an ongoing tale... a win win situation for her...
He wants to start a family...
She will only have a child when she is fulfilled in marriage...
That at the moment seems to be a distant dream...
She craves attention
He craves peace...
Both live together 
Both are unhappy in some way...
After 5 love stories, he still lives under a constant fear for being judged and stopped for doing what he genuinely loves...
He has now turned to spirituality to find answers to the complexities...
She constantly keeps searching for happiness outside her...
Sometimes this CLOSE TO NOTHING SIZED ISSUE leads to unhappiness...
Nitty grittiness of urban relationships...
