“What am I doing here???”
“Wait.”
“But for what?”
“Why are you always this impatient???”
“IMPATIENT???????!!!! You’ve GOT to be kidding me!
its 6 in the morning, I am in this God-knows-where place, lying down, waiting for something but God knows what, since you don’t think it’s important enough for me to know, and since you made me sit blindfolded all the way over. For the last half an hour I have been eating your head to get some info out of you, and all I have managed are monologues. And you are lying there with the stupid smile on your face as if you have just had an encounter with God Himself, and He has shared the secret of Life with you.
On any other day, this may pass as acceptable for a person like you… but TODAY????!!!!!!”
“That’s true.”
“What?”
“That you are eating my head with stupid questions”
“Out of everything I said, you heard just that ONE LINE?????????”
“No, I heard one more. I am smiling cuz I am at the one place where I want to be, with the one person I want to be with, on a day which has infinite importance in my life. Does that answer atleast one part of your question?”
Damn! He knows how to shut me up!!!
But. Hold on……
“WHAT AM I DOIN HERE!!!!!!”
“You’ve been here for an hour, and I beg you. Give me another ten minutes and just stay quiet!!”
“OK. And I really appreciate your tone btw.”
“Wait for ten minutes, and thank me after that.”
“Pffffff”
And I finally gave up.
It’s not all that bad actually. Soft green grass all around, a warm breeze… The lake looking like a clear sheet of dark reflective glass. Reflecting the many blinking stars above. A clear sky, with Venus still trying to wink at me. The birds had not yet realized that it’s almost the break of dawn, so it was absolute quiet all around.
I can almost hear him breathing next to me.
Looking at him, I could see him lying peacefully next to me. His eyes closed. A serene smile on his face. Just seeing him there makes me feel so good. Even though he irritates the hell out of me, can’t help but love each and every moment we spend together…
My Amulet,my friend,my enemy, my everything ….. the person I trust the most in the World. Can never say No to him.
But why?? Is it just what I think it is, or are we leading to somewhere? Both of us avoiding talking of what’s on our mind….
Is it…..???
“Yep, it is”
“What?”
“It’s time.”
“Oh.. errmm what? Time for?? you mean. . .”
“Sssshhhh. Look over there….”
“Where??”
And then, I saw it.
From across the lake, the Sun rose like a magnificent ball of fire. The Lake sparkled like molten diamonds…
The birds woke up and started their morning chirpy greeting to the world.
The blinding greenery around me, a shade which you have always heard of, but never seen in your life!
I looked at him, and in his face and in his eyes, I could read the answer to my unanswered question.
The smile, the gorgeous black eyes crinkling up and the lips moving to say what i hoped for ::
“Happy Birthday”
