Pride meets nonchalance and loses its relevance. Dahlia only wanted him at her feet but fell in his stead. She is really triggered by just that one pair of eyes that are never on her. Her pride-induced hysterics don’t move him till he gets to the bottom of things only to reveal the one thing they shared in common. Slowly, he understands and cures her of pride with pills of love.

Pride Pills

I really couldn’t afford to spend much time after school on detention because I needed to get home quickly for practice. I hadn’t practiced for some days and I was getting too comfortable with that at a very wrong time. 


I fled home after detention and practiced till my mother came home. I couldn’t even feel that I was hungry during the practice. As expected, my mother chastised me starving to practice and fed me very delicious food. 


Today really is the day. I’m not one to be nervous about these things but this felt different. I wasn’t exactly nervous but I was just restless. My father is coming back home today. We have not seen him in four months and I was very excited and appreciative of him taking time off his busy schedule to visit. We missed him so much.
