Indira’s take on Exploration Challenge #171
We have a dialogue prompt this week ….with a twist.
What is the twist?

Woman-: And I always thought it was you, secretly helping and supporting me against all the odds.’
‘I can’t be grateful enough for it.’
Man- ‘It was me indeed… watching you stand there proud and unbending… with my support.

I knew that a little support will take you a long way. I did never let you know about my help and support lest it hampers your self-esteem. Mentioned it now because you did.’
Her acceptance brought tears to his eyes.
Who doesn’t likes a little appreciation, acknowledgment, and gratitude?
Never forget .
Just show it, man!

न होते हम तो
कौन करता परवाह तुम्हारी
कौन करता तुमसे प्यार इतना
था कौन भला
जो सुनता सभी बातें तुम्हारी
किसपर था तुम्हें अधिकार इतना
सिखाई हमने
तुम्हें प्यार की क़ीमत
क्यों महँगा पड़ा न इज़हार इतना
होकर रुसवा भी
रखोगे मेरे राज़ सभी महफूज़
क्यों करती हूँ तुमपर ऐतबार इतना

My Submission:
You used to be beautiful.
You would kiss me when you came home, or at least acknowledge me. Now, you dart to your computer to find out how many new likes you received.
I try to hug you from behind, but you shake me off.
I bring you tea, and instead of a thank you, I get a grunt and flick of your chin, indicating you want me to go away…
