Creating Ado About Nothing...

This one’s for a King & Queen who are very dear to me. He is the King of Style and she is the Queen of Elegance.

When they are together, they glow to glory and no one can escape their charm. But when they are at odds, they can be two stubborn mules waiting for each other to concede. 

As one season changed to another, both of them didn’t seem to notice when their fingers moved away from the redial button on the mobile and started selecting the message, while disconnecting the phone. In fact, the disconnected calls turned tounanswered calls sooner than they had thought.

There was a time when both couldn’t stay away from talking with each other and alas, came a time when they would go without speaking to each other for days.

The Queen missed him, missed his voice and his touch so she mustered all the courage that she had, and wrote a heartfelt letter. The King, surprised, taken aback, forged forward to comfort her. Being the master of few words that he had become, he still made her believe that all was well in their paradise. 

Few days of bliss just flew by and the Queen once again felt the pangs of isolation engulfing her. She felt the King drifting away towards work, personal struggles and maybe something more. If only, he would open up and speak about all of it. If only….

A health blip scared the Queen and off she went looking for her King. Just when she needed him, he, surrounded with his world of worries, brushed her off.

“You are creating ado about nothing”

It is then, that the Queen, with her head held high, stepped aside. She could put everything at stake, sans her pride.

As summer slowly descends upon spring, the fate of the King and Queen hangs in silence. He can’t leave his streak – workaholic, stressed, aloof. She cannot fathom his streak. Why can’t work and love go hand in hand? One doesn’t have to cross another…

Only if the stubborn mules stop creating ado…about everything….or nothing...
