“My head is under water..but I am breathing
fine..!!
You are crazy and I am out of my mind..
Cause all of me..!
Loves all of you..!!”
John lagend’s
words were gripping my soul. The food lay cold in the oven. Plants on the
corridor needed watering. My wardrobe called for critical action. I had several
things to do. But I was drowning in memories. Damn!!
Though I was not
doing any favor on that black leather couch, I put myself sluggishly on. Still
it was not complaining the way it had been treated since the past 3-4 hrs. I
was nibbling on those chocolates without any concerns whatsoever that I may put
on weight..!! My consciousness pointed out.. "No sillies..!!"
I was missing
him. Badly. Swearing by the millions of nerves that reach to my heart!! Romance served in a scientific way. Flash
back!!
It wasn’t a good
idea to keep mum. I did not even give him a clue that day. My heart skips a
beat every time I think about the first day i met him. A gentle brush of his
fingers would send shivers down my spine. Dizzying
pleasure.
I cannot tell if
I fell for him the moment I saw him. I didn’t fall for him when he said “keep
wearing them, look pretty on you”. Pointing out at my glasses. Neither did I
fall for him when I caught him staring at me while I was reading my novel nor
when he was swaggering about I-had-fifty-girlfriends-stories. Liar.
I am not in the business of denying my true feelings…. So yeah ..i
didn’t just fall..i fell hard for him. You can’t be exactly sure when it
happens. All you know is that it’s right here and now. (Smiles.!)
I Never thought
that getting back to home after completing an exchange program in France would
change my destiny forever. It was inconceivable to meet someone in a weird
–stable like coffee shop and for what-good-i-have-done –in my –past-life sake,
he had the pass for same train I was going from. Four days with him. Train to
flight, trams, local fair in that town, we spent 2 hrs in that stupid toy game.
He had grueling four attempts to win that “teddy” from the glass covered box. Macho!
It was
undoubtedly kiddish for a 6 feet guy having a Greek nose and a sensual mouth to
have a hint of dimples in his chiseled cheeks. "Holy cow! He is gorgeous
indeed!", I had thought. He didn’t make it clear on my face but I know he
wanted to see my cuteness hidden behind my nerdy glasses. I wanted that stuffed
thing to be gifted to the kid standing next to me. But the kid inside that hunk
insisted me to keep it with me. I guess I was one certified fool in this whole
world, the thing which could be life saving for me on that precise moment “the
teddy” ..had lower priority than my novels.
I
held it in my hand. Relived those moments again, smiling like a 16 year old
teen!!
Love has that
effect on people. It makes you go crazy. Even how-matures –can
–act-silly-theory buzz you , that 250 grams of a teddy can make you feel a stir
of sheer bliss. Oh gosh.. Indeed!
Lovely 😊
