It was a fine sunny day...It was a fine sunny day, with cool wind blowing through a shade tree top-head...but now its about evening..
College canteen's backside was as secluded as college cubicles where we used to hangout ...
Dusty tables and red coloured chairs, filled the canteen's backside alley.
I went and bought two bottles of slice. Canteenwale Uncle smiled at me while handing bottles... because he knew, for whom was the second bottle.
She. My Life...she was on a grocery shopping spree yesterday. she had some biscuits and some snacks for her room eats. She had bourbon biscuits with her in her bag.....
She tore apart the packaging. Me and her... smile back at each other with so childish innocence of seeing something so awesome. That look on both of our faces, of that of a child who just opened a cadbury's packet.
A bite of bourbon with a sip of slice and I smile to her and she smiles back.
That! that smile.. then and there... I declare whole world to her. Then and there she gets everything I can put my finger on and say this thing is mine. Then and there I give away my life to her. That smile.
She smiles at me and askes "changla lagta na.? i love bourbons" [ tastes nice na? I love bourbons".. and I'm like yes.. [ they did taste great!] ... yes they are awesome but to tell you truth even if it was a bitter gourd [Karela] I'd probably have said the same.. :)
Because whatever she say, is simply untarnished truth to me.
After 3-4 biscuits, she puts slice bottle to her lips and takes a long sip..and makes a funny noise [because she knows.. she knows I'm listening] .. a funny noise of being sooo goodfelt ..soo at awesomeness...and puts her bottle down..and laughs at my expression [ ....which is simply drool to this point....] and says, 'I love it!'
And I'm like 'I love you too'
..
With occasional hand-in-hand, we take a walk towards her hostel in front of college.
and all along she says 'i dont want to go motu...i want to stay'
and with unashamed bluntness [evil I am, I know :( ] I reply 'nahi na munu, dont worry...I'll call you as soon as i reach my home and then we'll talk for hours and hours'
I see her saddened face and feel a twitch at my heart..
She looks at my face and whispers/mouths 'I love you' and I say back.. 'me paan...khup khup khup [me too, a lot lot lot] '
She walks towards hostel entrance. And I keep looking at her for all the views, for all those steps she takes...for every bit of her I could see.. for each and every ...for until that last moment.. I want to see her. :)
*life*
