Once upon a time, a there was a girl and a boy. The girl's name was Indifference and the guy's name was Love. Indifference was the type of person, who would never give anything away. It was even difficult to extract a smile from her emotionless lips. All she does is look at you, nod, and go back to what she was doing. Love, on the other hand, was a guy that would seem aloof, but was actually, a big package of sweet words and emotions, just waiting to explode. Indifference was frank, while Love choose to just sit down and keep quiet. Love was an idealist,while Indifference was a die-hard realist. They both live very different lives, and they were the most incompatible couple you will ever meet.
....One day, Fate was bored with her usual chores, and so she decided to do the unthinkable, she decided to pair up the most imperfect pair she could find. So she searched far and wide, and her eyes settled on these 2 mortals, the oblivious Indifference and Love the dreamer. Fate decided to make the two meet. She did everything so they will cross paths, and after a lot of trial and error, they did. And this is what happened after the 2 of the most opposite people in the world meet and say "hello"....
Indifference was sitting in the bar, continuing to think that life is a dreary business. She went there, not because she wanted to, but because she had to. The bar was owned by her dad, and she had no choice but to get the inventory and manage it herself since her dad passed away and her mom was too busy saving lives. She was going about her own business, when suddenly this man, who was way too perky and vain for her taste, went up to her and said,"Hi". She looked at him with disinterest, and went back to the notebook she was busy writing in. Unknown to her, Love was one of the bar's sales agent, and that they will begin to see each other everyday whether she likes it or not. At first, Indifference couldn't care less of who works for the company or what goes within the 4 walls of the bar, but as time goes by, she begins to see the effort all the waiters, the bartenders and the sales agents put into what would be the success of the company. Love, on the other hand, continued to go about his work, ignoring Indifference. He continued to promote the bar until the bar became so popular that customers are too much for the 4 corners of the establishment to hold in. At a glance, you would see Love as a person, who cares for the bar as if it's his own, but unknown to everyone and unknown to the owner's daughter, Love cared for more than just the bar. He cared for the bleak, dreary girl, who manages it.
...Fate saw her plan was taking effect, and decided to take things a little further. She decided that the emotion and the chemistry shouldn't be one-sided. So she planted a seed in Indifference's heart, and with a shower of raindrops, the seedling started to grow......
Indifference, at first, was annoyed with how Love acted. He was too jolly and lively for her. She preferred to be dark and quiet. But the longer they worked together, she noticed that she, too, was beginning to look forward to that smile and greeting every morning. She found herself looking at her phone every 5 seconds to check if there were any messages. She denied having feelings for Love because she knew that everything that Love is was all wrong for her personality. She was into noise and pessimism, while Love was all about hope and looking for that bright light at the end of the tunnel. So, she tried forgetting about him and concentrated on all the things that were wrong about him. With that, Indifference started to forget all that warm feeling inside if her and started to go back to her old, cold self.
....Fate saw what happened to the seed that she planted, and became frustrated. She won't allow any interference with the experiment the she so meticulously planned, so with all her strength, she sent a whirlwind of sweet thoughts and warm emotions towards the dying seed.......
Indifference was beginning to feel like her old self again, when the health and sales department began calling up and started asking for the establishment's latest update. So she had no choice but to work with Love again. With that, there was no turning back. Indifference, though still a little dark and gothic, started to be infected with Love's bright disposition, and they started to get along. Love was happy to have Indifference give him the time of day, and was pretty ecstatic when he knew that Indifference felt the same he does, and so started the subtle exchange of something that was soon to be an unusual fairy tale.
...Fate saw that her plan was working out perfectly, and so she sat back, and watched the progress of the story that she work hard into writing. Despair, Fate's sister, saw another seed of happiness growing, and decided that she doesn't need another positive thing in the world that she desperately tries to tear down, so she sent a big bolt of lightning to strike down that tree, and when the lightning bolt struck, it splits Fate's tree in the middle......
Love and Indifference had a story that no other person can have. They were born into different worlds, Love into a world of happiness and light, while Indifference into a world of dysfunction. Despite being different, they manage to bring their worlds together and compromise. It was all going so well, when something heartbreaking occurred. Love's fiancé, Trust, was back in town, and Indifference's partner,Rules, started to work in the bar. Love had no choice but to go back to his old life and Indifference had to face the next day alone. They were torn apart by things that they can't control, and they began to question what they had and started to drift apart.
....Despair, seeing what she did to Fate's precious tree, was delighted. At last, she finally destroyed one of her sister's most prized possession. Unknown to her, the lightning didn't kill the tree, it only split it in the middle, but the roots were still alive......
Indifference wasn't the type of person, who would hold on to things she knows she can't have, but with Love, she tried everything she can to bring him back. She endured all the times she was alone, and the times she was sitting with her phone in her hands waiting for that characteristic tone that signals her that Love was thinking of her. She had finally given up, when suddenly, her phone lighted up. Love sent her a message that burned into her mind and into her heart forever, "I LOVE YOU"...that. Is all she needed to go on and smile. One night, she went out on the balcony, released a helium balloon, and said, "wherever you are, LOVE, this balloon will find you". Love, being on the other side of the world, did the same thing..and together they said, " wherever this balloon may float or explode, and that is how much I love you"...
Indifference and Love's balloon met above the pacific ocean and there the balloons exploded.. Indifference then whispered, "I LOVE YOU,LOVE, THIS BIG"
.....Fate saw the balloons and realized that despite having her precious tree destroyed..the love between the two was still alive..and so Fate, with her glittered cloak, floated away and smiled....
