Love is blind(story)

Sapana Sijapati

Before the earth was created & human set foot on it, god placed all the human qualities in a room.

Since, all the qualities were bored they decided to play hide & seek. “Madness” was one of the qualities & he shouted, “I want to count”.

And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek “madness”, all the other qualities agreed. Hence, “madness” leaned against the tree & started to count, one, two, and three… As “madness” counted the qualities went hiding “Reason” hide in a pile of garbage. “Lie said that” I would hide under the stone but he hid at the bottom of lake instead “madness” continued counting, seventy nine, and eighty …

By this time, all qualities were well hidden, except “love”. For stupid as “love” is, he couldn’t decide where to hide. This shouldn’t come as surprise because we all know now that love is difficult to hide.

Madness counted faster as he approaches hundred. When madness go to hundred, love jumped into the rose bush where he hidden. Madness turned around & shouted, “I am coming”.

As madness started seeking, laziness was first found because he was too lazy to hide. Madness searched madly & found Lie at the bottom of lake. One by one madness found everything except Love. Madness got desperate as he was unable to find Love. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to madness. Love is hiding in the bush. Madness jumped into the rose bush & he heard a loud cry. The thrones in the bush had pierced: Love’s eyes. God heard the commotion & went to the room. He saw what happened & became very angry. He cursed “madness & said that, since love became blind because of madness. Madness shall always be with Love.

As a result from that day onwards, Love is blind & mad.
