She stood there, words floating around her.
I love you, I care for you, I live for you, I can die for you…
Everything around her was moving at such a fast pace that she could hardly see anything. Everything was so random that it made sense.
The early morning sunlight was falling on his face. He was fast asleep and that made him look at peace. She loved him, the way she had never ever loved a man before.
She could literally see her emotions. Watch her feelings, twisting and turning, taking birth and coming to life, smiling and swirling inside her.
There… she could see the ‘love feeling’. But unlike the ‘free-born love particle’, she could see something strange attached to it. She could easily tell that the other feeling attached to it looked almost like its twin. How can something be attached to ‘the love-feeling particle’? How can it look exactly like it?
That’s when she saw another new ‘feeling particle’ taking birth. She was a genius at recognizing each and every one of them. She knew it was the ‘memory-feeling particle’.
She went into a daze as the ‘memory-feeling particle’ started making its presence felt. She didn’t want to think of the past. She immediately sent a message to her mind. Her mind reacted quickly, and soon she could see the ‘memory-feeling particle’ disappear. Now she could again concentrate on the ‘love-feeling particle’ and the one attached to it that looked like its twin.
She felt weird and defeated.
How come I never noticed the identical twin? She thought.
She was only watching the twin now. They both shared the same body and seemed comfortable with it too. She was surprised how the twin had existed but was never been noticed or felt by her.
The sunlight was bothering him now. She didn’t feel like getting up from the bed, to draw the curtains. But, she had to because he couldn’t. She drew the curtains, and went back to watching and reading the ‘twin particle’.
The sight surprised her. This time the twin was moving ahead. The last time when she was watching it, the love particle was leading the way for its twin. But this time it was the strange twin which led the way. That’s when she understood.
The reality shook her soul. That identical twin was the ‘sympathy particle’. Everything began to fall into place.
That’s why it looked like a twin… That’s why they share the same body… that’s why I care for him so much… that’s why I love him… what???
This time it was not the ‘strange twin’ that bothered her. She felt complete. She felt happy at the thought that the ‘sympathy particle’ was not alone. It shared the same body with the ‘love-feeling particle’. She cared for him. She loved him. That made her happy.
She saw the ‘happy-feeling particle’ germinating and soon grow bigger and bigger. She closed her eyes and smiled.

this "twin particle" dimension to the entire story makes it totally novel...amazing thought! :)
Sidd... you got to work on simplicity in structuring the write-ups...
Lovely conception yaar... very "hat ke" kinds... but a lay reader like me is likely to lose track... too many reptitive words...I had to read it twice to get the gist... probably thats not the case with most others...
im sorry, but i didnt get this! simple mortal soul-moi!
