Dear Almighty......
Have I ever told you about her??.....who came as a shooting star and vanished with the blink of an eye.....but gave 24hours of memorable seconds that I will cherish for the minutes I m gonna live.
She...
We met for the first time in Goa..... 11th Jan'2009/09.11 AM....that Time if you add up will be my lucky No.11...which became the luckiest day I have ever lived.
First time I saw her standing near the beach.....heavenly beauty.....but creating restlessness in the ocean
I looked at her....than away from her....yet her image stayed with me.
.....................................
.....................................
God,I don't believe in infatuation/first sight love......But I believe the time we met....the time we shared....the time we laughed.....
I believe the time we walked together.....trust me her words are so intoxicating that it made me mute for the day....I tried to response in the mode that modern people follow to communicate....but in vain..
By the side of sea we kept on walking.....talking.....laughing.....her laughter just slipped one smile on my lips unknowingly.
.............................................
.............................................
‘It’s going to rain’......she shouted....It made me feel as if apocalypse is gonna happen within next couple of seconds..
She hold my hand and we started running as we are the loan survivors of human race in an island of zombies......The breeze flowing from the opposite direction trying to stop us.....
Suddenly the breeze which rushed through her wild wet hair passed by touching my soul.
....Paused.....
I pulled her close to me......
she asked “could you plz stop looking.....n close your eyes’’...
Like an obedient student I did.....She whispered, ’I can’t be with you forever.......but Thanks for being my first love that gonna last for a day’....
She was expecting a reply......but she didn’t know the breeze that brought the smell of my woman paralysed my soul.
..............................................
..............................................
She was tired....her eyes were begging for a nap...
I lent my shoulder and found an angel of mercy is sleeping as if she never slept in her life.
Eyes still closed.....in an inaudible voice with lots of pauses she asked ‘R u gonna be awake whole night long’..... I disclosed the secret of my snoring problem ....that produced a small but unforgettable smile that I saw for the last time.
.....................................
I left my sleeping angel before dawn to catch my flight with the memory of last 24 hours, the music of her laughter, the breeze that brought her close to me, the rain that drenched my soul, her touch that made me shiver...and a secret about her.........
She also snores.
Today standing on a mountain hill I am recalling the line she said......’Thanks for being my first love that gonna last for a day’...
She was right. May be she saw her destiny.
When we met for the first time...I smiled...
Now her thoughts made me smile...coupled with drops of tear
...........................................
All I know about her after one year, she was one of the victims in German bakery Massacre, pune. One of her close pals informed me she came back to India to meet someone special.........
.....but.......
......................
...........................
‘I can’t be with you forever’.
