On an evening, I sat alone looking outside. The new rains
of the season had just begun to pour and it was spectacular like it had always
been. What was different though was it had started much earlier this time. The
weather forecasts did not show any signs of rains or monsoon this soon. They
are not always so accurate I told myself and continued to enjoy the rain. 'Get
me a hot cup of coffee' I ordered and was served by a warm hospitable young
girl.
'Thank you' I said, 'you've got a lovely smile. You should
not loose it'
'Did you enjoy the rains?' she asked.
'Yes, it's been the most unusual thing'
'I brought them along, only for you' she said while
looking into my eye.
'You are powerful' I whispered.
'Yes, I can get you whatever you want.'
Her voice reminded of someone's.
'Who are you?' I mumbled.
'What do you want honey' she asked.
No, that can't be true I reassured myself. It was her
voice and I was sure. I didn't say anything, I wondered if I was hallucinating.
'You love hot coffee along with some rains. I brought for
you as my present on your birthday'
Her presence made me feel a little jolt. She smiled once
again and it was the same smile. I noticed how her eyes were also familiar. Was
I looking at my love who had actually left me, I sighed.
Slowly but eventually she was changing. One by one, each
of her part seemed to transform.
'Yes, I am back. Hug me' she said.
I opened my eyes
and got off my bed, and cried. Everday she would appear in my dreams. I wept
and rubbed my tears and looked at the window. She stood there and I smiled.
'You’ve got a lovely smile' I said.
While she has always stayed, I asked myself was she away
at all!
And then, the phone rang.
'I can't live without you.
Please come over' she said.
'Nor can I lose you for anything. I'm coming right away'
I said.
To hell with the ego, now go and get her back.
