Achilles Heel
"Darn! It started raining heavily!" Now we won't be able to reach on time"
"I know let's stay here till it halts under this shed"
"Is it that small roof that we see?? So we have to reach there?"
"No it's after that and we aren't running in rain, I can't run"
"Yeah ok chill I was just asking"
"Hmm, hey stay still lemme take your pics here it's perfect you know the ambience, you look sexy as well ;) ha ha ha"
"Shut up!! Will you! you know very well I have scars on my face, they represent the imperfect and not any beautiful face. Once you reach there take the pics of those models in the rain."
"Yeaaah.... stop underestimating yourself again for God's sake"

On the day of exhibition every wall had her pictures. From the smile on seeing the rain, to the fear of getting drenched in same. She was awestruck on seeing herself on the bigger and smaller portraits.
"Oh My God, you didn't even ask me and put these up here! How could you. People will laugh at me now."
"Can you see, they aren't laughing, they're adoring you. You said those scars were your weakness, you never enjoyed yourself openly in the public. I just wanted you to realise the beauty of your imperfections. See I made my masterpiece out of your Achilles heel."
Embraced him with tears of Joy.

It's not big big things that make you feel special but those small words, efforts that take away the heart. The real one will never assume it for a burden or forceful act, it comes naturally, you feel home with them.
