Two Faces of a Coin

Today on this perfect,quiet afternoon,as I had nothing much to do,so I decided to sleep.
But suddenly a thought woke me up,as if I was in some sort of a trance and now just pulled back to reality.

There was whispering,slowly growing louder and louder until I heard clearly,so loud enough that I could hear two strangely known feminine voices quarreling about something.I asked my brother sitting beside me if he heard them too.
He simply nodded 'No!',and looked back to the computer screen and continued with his work.I realized no one could hear it,except me!It was as if those voices came from within.

So I closed my eyes(*so that i could see them*), rested on a pillow and tried to listen to them.

There was two ladies seated opposite to each other,one dressed in full white and the other  in black.They turned to reveal their faces,and shockingly they looked just not only alike but they were two images of me,those two were two me,dressed differently.
They were two personalities of me.I,though couldn't make out why were they dressed in black and white(*there are so many different colors though*) but may be it signified the same old thing,white-good and black-bad or the evil.Suddenly I deviated my thought from the debate about the color to the reason why they were quarreling.They were quarreling about their nature(*was easy enough to find that out*).

Both of them were quite,then the Black spoke(*loudly,rudely in aggression*) breaking the silence of the afternoon.

'You are weak,infirm and vulnerable,you live on lies!'

The White spoke(*intrigued and her mood all lighted up*)
'No I am not,may be I am not strong enough like you,but I don't really live on lies,at least!'

'You of course do,you feel pathetic about everything that goes wrong in your life blaming others for it,and crying tons and tons thinking that's the only solution out.'

'Its right I cry,but its because I get sad when things don't workout my way.'

'Why?I don't see any need for those tears.Why don't you try to find any solution to the problem instead.Its because you believe the false.For you the mirror only magnifies your beauty,but to me its shows the reality!'

'I always believe everything around us is for good,I am an optimistic person after all.'

'You call yourself optimistic!Its the most funny thing about you,you always believe what you want to believe.How can you call yourself OPTIMISTIC,when you are not!'

'How can you say that?What makes you think that way?'

'How can I think that,what makes me think that!ask yourself.You cry for every pity damn thing soaking your tear stained pillows,you sit with that broken pieces of your heart trying any possible way to mend it.But don't you realize!Don't you see even if you can mend it there would be scars still left on it!'

'Things,situations do change,there is always "Happy Endings..." at the end,its just that one has to keep trying.'

'Ha!Ha!Ha!(*laughs mockingly in sarcastic manner*)are you kidding me!You telling me you believe in happy endings!That's the absurd thing I hear'

'What is so absurd about thinking that way?Don't you agree with me?'

'Of course I don't!
You know what,you are like that Rapunzel,locked up in that tower not having the slightest idea whats the world outside is like,thinking about her prince charming in white unicorn rescuing her,dreaming about dancing with the butterflies to the song of the birds,smelling the beautiful roses and finally getting married to her prince in the grandest  possible way.But have you thought what is the world outside her tower?She can very well dance but can't cross a shaking bridge without the help of the prince,she loves the smell of roses but can't afford to get pricked by the thorns,she can lay down her hair to get out of the tower,but can't face her witch mother alone!She is weak,spineless without the prince.These are Fairy tale,prince-charming exists here but not in the real human world.'

'It does exist,one gets them in form of better half,his/her husband/wife,boyfriend/girlfriend.'

'See there you go,always believing the false!Don't you see real world is far different from the way you describe it.Here if one is faced with little trouble they don't tend to support or sort out things,instead they breakup,freeing themselves as soon as possible.In real world the prince takes no interest to face the witch mother,you face her alone,and its either you win or lose,depends on you,no one but you help yourself.Here in this world no one belongs to anybody!'

'What you are saying is not completely right!There is something called Love that binds people,then there is Courtship that bind two soul together into one.Marriages are made in heaven,after all.'

'Love,Courtship or so called marriages,made in heaven!gawd,you believe all these! ridiculous.If marriages were made in heaven,then there would be no divorces.One would be happy with each other and stick to them,they would need no choices.Don't you see divorce rate isn't decreasing in fact increasing,sometimes check the internet too!and coming to Love,when there is responsibility,love fades away and what you are left with is loneliness even though you have a partner beside you,who takes least interest to spark up the lost love.'

'Maybe,but 'umm..(*sad pause*) one finds the right one always at the end!'

'Life is like a funfair.You prefer the carousel,going round and round on the spot.You prefer avoiding the ups and downs,any form of thrill or adventure,you are slow enough to keep pace.But I prefer the roller coaster taking risks,have that thrilling experience,and whooping with excitement till the journey lasts.'

'I do it because I want to keep everything simple and easy going.'

'Life itself isn't easy!have you got all that you wanted.We never get what we want,we get what we deserve,whether its good or bad,and we do not decide that.I live in the Brain and you in the Heart.There is the difference you think emotionally and I do logically.'

'We are part of the same family,we can be friends!'

'No!we can't!we are two different universe,we are two faces of a coin which are never meant to meet.Our nature differ,moreover I am dominating by nature,I like to see what is real and you on the other hand believe in illusion.My world is full of harsh realities which you are not strong enough to face,in fact you don't have any idea how it is to live there.''

'I still think,we could be friends,someday,maybe!'

'Whatever!"
(*turns her back and walks away*)
