Life is like a Ludo game-- NaPoWriMo Day 11

Life is like a Ludo game, 

Different colours, same goal, 

Those who start early may not win.

Fortune plays a part. 

You don't get what you want. 

To succeed, you need to strike out others, 

And, It's not over till it's over.

So, keep playing.

I scan through my notifications for her Whatsapp message every morning ,and if it is not there, I look at her ''last seen.'
I perform the ritual several times during the day. I often wait a long time for her message, but if you would ask her, she will say that I take a long time in replying. She can disappear for hours, sleep without saying 'goodnight' or leave promptly in the middle of chat, but if I take a few more seconds in replying, I am disqualified.
''Till when are we going to play the game by your rules?'' I ask her.
''Till you like it.'' She replies with a tongue out emoticon
