The Invited and Uninvited

The Invited and Uninvited

Akhila was praying. She was sitting in front of Him. Tears were flowing like a waterfall.
She believed in Him. She wanted to comeout of the deep pains. In fact, she wanted to forget all her past. She meant, ALL HER PAST. The memories were not sweet for her. By now, betrayals wouldn't surprise her.
She couldn't close her eyes. Heart was very heavy and pounding. She wanted to share everything to someone. She desperately felt in need of a hug.
She wanted some warm shoulders to hide from herself.
All her mind was chanting repeatedly a single slogan, "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stu....".
How idiotic was she?
What was her problem?
Why she wanted to get rid of the past?
Who gave her this agony?

Prabhu was thinking himself as the happiest in the universe. In short, he was a frog in the well.
He was sitting in front of Her. His face was quite  filled with joy. He believed in Her.
He accepted everything happened to him in the past. His needs were simple. All he wanted was his tummy to be filled. Whoever provided food to him, he took it happily.
All his pleasure was to eat and sleep. Occasionally, he thought about past. Sometimes about future too! But nothing could made him felt worried.
He always preferred to close his eyes and sleep. He looked life as a predetermined journey where he can't do much alterations.

And finally with the thundering bell sound in the temple, Akhila could close eyes now; felt light in heart; looked forward a peaceful life. All the blessings from Him were with her.
Prabhu opened up his eyes, rejoiced himself looking at Her eyes and started looking out where the temple Prasada was served. All the blessings from Her were with him.
