I took out my pen from pocket and started writing a letter cum poem, which I had written long ago and had planned to give it to someone very special to me, on the only tissue I found on that table.
I don’t worry about the dark; I know the sun is mine.
To bring me into light,
I know that it will shine. I know you are my sun.
I don’t worry about the sadness,
I know the rains will fall. To wash away all my tears,
they will come on my every call.
I know you are my rain,
I don’t worry about the world, because I fully believe in you.
And whatever happens around,
This is how i shall always be yours forever.......
You are my world.
It is rightly said; when you are in love, you feel everything on this earth is yours and you can conquer this whole world with your love, true love.
I stood up and went straight to her folding my love for her in my hands so that she couldn’t see it. I sat beside her this time again taking her hands into mine, feeling the warmth of her love through her veins. We kept looking deep into each other’s eyes for a minute or so and then she then broke the silence, “kya dekh rhe ho?”
I smilingly replied, “I have rights to see you for my whole life now!” and passed her the folded tissue in my hand. She smiled and added, “I wish they remain copyright for me only!” and she started opening it…
I kept staring her, smiling and observed her too closely (Wish I had some magical eyes; you know what I mean) while she was concentrating on the paper. And all of a sudden, she broke into tears which were unexpected. I couldn’t bear that.
I stood up to hug her while she was still crying. I was trying to console her with my love and words; though I was much weak in that, but I tried my level best.
She then said with her childish voice, “Rajeev, I am feeling lucky to have you in my life. I never expected that you will win my heart like this. You are so much caring and loving. I feel like kissing you but the atmosphere around here doesn’t allow me to do that. Let’s move out somewhere else please.”
And how could I refuse her, after all I was expecting a kiss from my girl on my first date?
We picked up our bags and went to school ground, hand in hand and sat under the same tree where we used to spend hours.
I kept my head on her lapse and started feeling anxious, obviously. Everything seemed to be very special for that particular second.
First girlfriend, first date, first kiss….. PRICELESS feeling!
Rest remains the mystery !
