She was hypnotized. By the biggest magic on earth, by a word charmer. For the most ugliest 20 days of her life.
The charmer. He used no roses nor chocolates, he used his only weapon. His string of words. He used it on her. His words, were sweet-coated, slightly bitter. Too much sweet, that she felt no bitterness. He told her exactly what other charmers has said before. But.. but there was something in his words. Something, just something like a thunder that left her heart to skip beats each time he said em'. He played her with his words very well. Very very well.
Kisses was in no need to shut her up, just his words will do. Their eyes need not meet for him to trap her, just his words. He need not feed her weed. Just as he drugged her with an over-dose of words,- sweet, bitter and painfully sour.
And she felt into his world of magic. Into his trap. Into his charm. Into love. Fairly stupid. But,.. but she was hypnotized.
The charm. Changed her. She was daddy's little girl who carried a smile on her face all day long. The average, teenage girl-next-door,who lived a carefree life, despised early age relationships and its bullshit, who was too busy chasing time for herself, her passion, her loved ones, her studies and her job. The girl that wakes up to a smile on her face every morning, the girl with so much love and confidence in herself, the girl that inspired others, the girl that lived life her way, the girl that hated lies, the girl that know what she wanted in life..... and she eventually, slipped her walkway,and threw herself into his world, into his magic charm, into his universe.
She was no more the girl who woke up with a bright smile, instead with red teary eyes every morning. Not the girl who chased time for herself nor her loved ones, instead her charmer, only him.Not anymore daddy's little girl who stayed up to kiss him a "good night", instead the one that mistreated her loved ones for her charmer. She who said, lies after lies for her charmer. She who reframed her lifestyle for her charmer, just to hear him chant his "words" all day and night.
Hypnotized with words, isn't she?
The old her, slapped a guy who called her a bitch, the hypnotized her only cried her heart out,soaking her pillows with tears. The old her, kept her pride as her priority, the hypnotized her, threw everything down the trash just for her charmer. The old her spent every night dreaming of her near future, the hypnotized her showed her none other than her charmer. The old her kept the fast only for her father, for his well being, the hypnotized her kept fasts for her charmer,for his health.
But, then everything has an end. Everything. Birth has death. Friendship has splits. Relationships has break-ups.
So does the charmer and his tricks. She woke up, mid morning. Tears trickled down her cheeks. She could hear the painful words of her charmer in her head over and over again .She wanted to say her prayers. But she felt too heavy. She felt sinful. For not seeking His love and blessings for the past 20 days. She sat on her bed, said her prayers, more like whispering. She somehow felt, that God is right there listening to her. She felt like a new-born. Like a sinless soul. She ended her prayers,thanking Him for the lessons He taught her. She kept her eyelashes to meet, and merged into divine tranquility. She felt some sort of a power in her. Like someone has put in a lightning bolt in her. Just then, she knew, her "lightning bolt" is none other than her prayers, her self-confidence, her self-love and just HERSELF. Just the real her.
4.32 am- And she decided, she will be no more hypnotized by the charmer. No, not anymore. She has waken up, not from sleep, but from death, of her soul. 20 days of death. She will no more dance to the flute and words of the charmer, instead she will hiss and spit her venom, like the venomous snake.
She knows..she knows very well, she will never stop loving the charmer. She always will. For he was the reason, she had a "re-birth". For he was the reason she quit dwelling into negativity, and the reason she knew what the "man-eat-man" world really is. Yes, a love-hate relationship. But again, she can never hate her first charmer, enough either. All she knows is that she'll never "slip" her walkway anymore, only because she knows where she belongs exactly.
"You can break down a woman temporarily, but a real woman will always pick up the pieces, rebuild herself, and come back stronger than ever."
This was so well written :)
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to read something about a girl who was changed by a man-- NOT by kisses and touch, but by the simplest thing: just words.
I love how you made her stronger in the end, rather than just let her crumble into that dark abyss. It's inspirational, to start :)
Suffice to say, I loved this! Thank you for sharing :)
Kitts: Extremely sorry for the late reply. Its a true story written overnight. Glad you liked it. Also, she don't deserve to live in those dark abyss just because of him. Thank you very much for reading. :)
DeleteOh, it's a true story? If it's based on yuo, I'm glad THAT didn't bring you down!
DeleteI come back here once in a while sometimes, just to see if you have new short story posts :D You should write (and post!) more if you have new , I think you're very talented in this!
:) Thanks for your kind words. I will. Still a newbie to the blogging world, and I'll try to write (and post!) as much as I can. :P Whoever you are, I hope you stay blessed. :)
