Kariya - A Poignant story

He is dark , not tall , not at all handsome ; neither am I beautiful or attractive.

We have known each other for a very short time , just two months to be precise , but this bond seems to be from a before-life ; we seem to understand each other so well.
He is my neighbor ... and visits me often.
He lurks outside my house , barges in when I open the door and demands my complete attention ; and gets it too !

He is fast , dashing , stealthy , cunning and sweet , all at the same time. When he looks at me with those mysterious and naughty eyes, my heart simply melts.

I am married and he is not.
My hubby knows about his visits.
He says am being too lenient with him but I can't stop him from coming , I simply can't ! Sometimes my hubby gets jealous of him , he doesn't say so ...but I can feel it.

His folks don't approve of him coming here , but they are helpless too becausehe is an expert at hoodwinking them.
Our strange relationship is progressing against all odds.
Barriers of society , family and a strong iron gate have not been able to stop him fromcoming to see me ... but ... sadly , it will end very soon. It has to , like all good things do!

And my beloved chubby black rabbit Blacky ( mine , though i dont own him ) will be left behind with his sinister owners - my neighbours ! ( Well , not exactly sinister , but jealousy makes me think so. )

If only Kariya ( my name for him ) were my pet and not theirs ! Ohhh the cruelty of fate !
