Sun and the earth

*I know u people have read lot of versions of this poem here's mine.I hope the one for whom I have written will understand what I have written...

They were standing in the balcony after their usual fights,once again Suraj had tried to convince her but it was a hopeless job.
As much as they love each other their was no way Nahan would even consider going against,the Law of the society she was born in. The law clearly states
"An untouchable like her must not touch anyone from a higher class".and even though Suraj had brought her to a place far away from her society and family, in a different world She could never forget her roots.
After a long silence the wind finally start breaking
‘Have you heard about the poem of the sun and the earth?’ Nahan asked Suraj.

‘No,’ said Suraj with a seductive grin, corning a little closer to her. ‘But I’d love to hear it’

‘Apparently the earth sometimes thinks of the possibility of coming closer to the sun,’ said Nahan. ‘But she can’t do that. She is so base and his brilliance so searing, that she will cause destruction if she draws him closer.’

(What now?)

‘I disagree,’ said Suraj. ‘I think the sun burns only as long as the earth is close to him. If the earth wasn’t there, there would be no reason for the sun to exist.’

‘The sun doesn’t exist just for the earth. It exists for every single planet in the solar
system.’

‘Isn’t it really the sun’s choice for whom he chooses to exist?’

‘No,’ said Nahan, looking at Suraj, melancholic. ‘The moment he became the sun, his calling became higher. He does not exist for himself. He exists for the greater good of everyone. His luminosity is the lifeblood of the solar system. And if the earth has any sense of responsibility, she will not do anything to destroy this balance.’

‘So what should the sun do?’ asked Suraj, his hurt and anger showing on his face. ‘Just waste his entire life burning away? Looking at the earth from a distance?’

‘The earth isn’t going away anywhere. The sun and the earth can still share a warm
friendship. But anything more is against the laws. It is against the interests of others.’

Suraj turned away from Nahan in anger. Feeling nothing, he looked up at the skies, towards the gods he did not believe in.

(Dammit! I love you it's that simple and that complicated )

He banged the balcony railing with his powerful fist, dislodging some bricks and stormed off.

The Fat Boy

The weakend was planned for over a month but still the day was nothing but disappointment,it was supposed to b an adventure, a once in a lifetime opportunity ,to b out on a long drive with the love of his life, take a bath in the gr8 waterfall ,walk along the beach and of course,romance all along but it was ruined from the very start. With so many people in one vehicle their was no way he was going to have any personal space, he has to be civic and talk to everybody,Take care of their every need.But that was not the cause of his despair,it was the fat boy ,sitting next to him this guy was bugging him all day along. While everybody was enjoying from bottom of their heart this guy was just sitting their not uttered a single word throughout the  journey ."Observe and record" they used to say but this guy takes it too seriously,he was not a stalker certainly and if he was then was at a very different level because he was observing everyone and everything even inside the waterfalls he was just standing their looking blank and God knows what else.After some feeble, failed attempts to make this guy a member of the group Bibhu had finally given up,the day had almost passed they have reached almost the end of the journey and he was determined to have atleast some private moment.
With everyone entering the waters he got his chance,he took Anuja's hand and started walking along the beach ,he was well aware of the fat boy deep inside the waters yet not concerned about the waves but piercing towards them,sure he was helping a lot if people with his sheer size even the waves were reluctant to touch him,he did also helped Bibhu and Anuja to come out of a strong current but that doesn't give him the licence to look at them all the time ,also he was dame sure that guy can hear them but yet he was not going to let him ruin his day it was his day after all
"Bibhu look their"Anuja's words stoped his train of thoughts and for the first time in the day he took his eye of the fat boy looked in the direction she was pointing and sure enough half embedded in the sand dancing in the strong winds was a well intact thousand rupee note,the Americans might have said a thousand rupee bill,but no sir we are indians and we note everything,we note girls in small dress bathing in sea,we note bare chest boys challenging the waves and we sure note a filthy dame fat boy struggling to stand in the waves but still focused to observe whats going all around,and above anything we note a thousand rupee note lying unclaimed in the God forsaken part of the beach
"What shall we do?"asked Anuja with innocence written all over her face
He was so mesmerized by her beauty that it took him a couple of sec to understand she was talking about the note
"What do you mean? We will split it 50 50"he replied as a matter of fact
"What about the remaining 900??"
Her answer came as a relief to him as the fat boy drowned laughing
