ANOTHER "SEE YOU AGAIN"
- ATHENA
I will have to begin this adventure, this dream, from its end because as they say 'ends are new beginnings'. an afternoon which was an afternoon since the morning itself , where each second that ticked away was a reminiscent of the hours spent together and an ultimatum of the little time left .
And what made the afternoon worse was the distance , albeit a short one . a distance that she knew very well , could be covered ... could be shortened ... could be vanished .
and the volcano inside her needed just a flicker , just a syllable of his voice to seep , no , not seep ...to flow ... to rain through her cheeks . to rain through her heart , her soul .
"I am coming !" , she exclaimed
" honey its too hot outside , and i cant meet for more than 5 minutes , and it would take you 1 hour to reach here " , came the voice .
"screw it all , no matter what i am coming !", she said with a conviction unshakable .
zip , zap , zoom and she was out on the road , trying to find something for him ... something that could symbolise and embody her prayers , her blessings for him , to keep him safe .
and inside the crowded train somehow she squeezed herself to find a seat , took out a pen and could find no paper so just scribbled onto an old advertising paper and wrote a poem for him ... a last message before they could again hold each other after another 6 months .
a halt onto a midway station and off she ran to luckily find a small portrait of lord krishna and what else did she need ... other than the lord himself , the soulmate of radha ... to pray for her love , to bless him , to keep him safe ffrom all that was about to happen . to keep her love safe .
and after 1.5 hours she got his glimpse. those impatient eyes , as if seeking what she had got for him kept on asking so many questions .
"you looking so fair , so much more cuter "
"what have you got? " , he had asked
"nothingggggg , stop snatching my bag , u shouldn't check a girl's bag ", she said while trying to stop him .
they hugged , held hands, and just tried to capture , to hold every single second that could make them feel alive by the touch of each other's skin ... and the soft texture of the skin ... it just seemed to traverse through her veins , into her blood and deep through her heart and into her soul ... and no matter how much she stopped those stupid drops from falling they just .. oh ! when have they ever listened to her ? they just fell . a lil here , a lil there .
And after those few minutes , it was THE TIME ... the time to leave !
"may i go ? ", she said
and those few seconds , she could never explain into a million words . His eyes ... !!!!
Eyes are strange things .
a pair of eyes that were too common to belong to anyone special
a pair of eyes that you could just mistake as belonging to everyone ,
and yet ! yet those pair of eyes were now her world ...
her reflection , her living embodiment of the love that she felt for her ,
those eyes that were her life , that just had a light ...
a light that could brighten her darkest nights ,
those eyes that were more royal to her than to him ,
that defied him and obeyed her ,
talking to her , revealing his moods , revealing every secret he wanted to hold back ,
moistening every land that he wanted to leave barren ....
His voice that said ," ok , please take care love ."
but eyes that pleaded ," dont go ! stay back ! and hands that just twitched in her palms ... hands that held her .
i love you baby !
i love you too !
" promise me that you will write . that you will take care of yourself , u have my heart , take care of it and bring it back safely to me . ", she whispered .
teary eyes , putting up a smile , pursing lips together , and a heavy breath she turned around
and he stayed ... stayed... opened up that lil letter , that lil parcel .
she kept on looking back ... she kept on looking at her life ... her heart which belonged to him , only him !!!!
AND BEGINNING OF ANOTHER WAIT !!!
" AANKHON MEIN NMI , HASI LABON PE ...
KYA HAAL HAI KYA DIKHA RHE HO " ....
