Its a another best evening after a light drizzle and immediately followed with a rainbow and sunset..
I and shravya were enjoying the natures best, sitting on a lowly bench in a park, surrounded with a musky smell of the damp ground after the rain...
“what a beautiful sunset..isnt it??” said shravya playing with the top button of my shirt..
“yeah..” i said curling, her already wet curly hair, with my fingers
She tilted her head on rested it on my shoulder and spoke with a husky soft voice, “ this moment should last forever, promise me...” she said, looking straight into my eyes..
Her looks pierced straight to my eyes and reached my heart , tearing me apart..
I took her face in my hands, She was silent, so was i...
i brought her face inches close to me..we were looking into each other eyes, the whole world stood still to me at that moment..gradually the distance reduced between us, i closed my eyes the moment i felt her hot breath on my face..i could feel my heart beat change from ‘beats per minute’ to ‘miles per second’, the distance still narrowed and i stopped when i felt her soft lips pressed to mine, i caught her face with my two hands and kept still, she made no efforts to stop me.. minutes passed away like seconds, and i was melting with every warm breath of hers..
it started to drizzle again, she regained her composure and departed..yet she lay there, eyes closed, breathing heavily..
she opened her eyes, said nothing , she caught my shirt , came closer and rested her head on my chest and we were enjoying that loneliness..
words seized between us, we were looking in each other eyes, i was soo enchanted that my mom called me thrice, to make me respond to the surroundings,
“hi ma..ok ok ok, will be there in a few minutes, ok ok” i said..
“shravs, my mother is unwell..have to take to hospital darls, come on i will drop you and then i shall go” i said stretching my body
She was silent all over the ride..and i dropped her at her at her house..
When i am reverting back to the end of the street, i saw back to her house,
I saw my angel eyeing me from the narrow opening of the half closed doors, when our looks met, she bit her tongue and immediately disappeared inside like a cat.., i couldn’t stop smiling..
Next day was a pretty boring day, and I was too careful not to out the beans, that i remember Shravya’s birthday, which was the day after.
Finally that evening i carefully wrapped my gift with flowers, and i moved out my room that night, and i carefully followed the footsteps of the shadows and reached her house...
I dialled a number , and her brother , charan opened the door...
“hi charan” i said with a smile.
“hi BIL , come inside” he moved aside from the way.he bolted the door after coming inside.
“your parents??” i asked with a tinge of tension, wiping my sweat off my forehead
“don’t worry, they wont be out of their room till early sunrise”
“thank you then, anyways its already time..i’ll move on” i said glancing at her room
“ok harsha, and just be careful not to scare her..good luck” said he, and grinned at me
“thanks mate, i need a lots of luck for this weird act” i said and i moved on
I stood at opening of the door..
I saw the sticker attached to the door “KNOCK BEFORE YOU COME”
“ufffffff” i sighed and caught the knob of the door and opened it with a million thoughts attacking my insides,
what if she’s awake? , what does she think of me? , what will she think as the day before only i kissed her and now i am in her bedroom? , what will be her reaction seeing me? , what if she shouts?, what if her parents mistake me to a thief and handover to police??..... and so on
her room was pitch dark, i fished in my pocket for the mobile, and then on my torch to lead the way..
i reached the side of her bed, and switched on the incandescent table lamp...
the scene that struck to my eyes was shocking and mesmerising..
she was on her stomach sleeping, hugging her soft teddy bear
she was wearing a sleeveless black satin top a perfect contrast to her white creamy milk skin
a white silk bedsheet covered till her waist, she was resting her head on the cotton pillow...her mouth was partly open and was making the pillow wet with her saliva.
I was literally dying to restrict myself when i could see the bare skin on the side of her stomach when takes a deep breath...
And her hairs were teasing me even more, they were dancing in pairs on her face while the wind played the mischief, a few hairs were stuck in her open mouth..awww what a scene it was..beyond words..
Before i could zap out of this killing sensation and regain my senses, her mobile started to buzz..i reached out for her mobile and i immediately took out her battery...
I reached to her, caught the strands of hair with my fingers and pushed them to the back of her ears...., i bent down and kissed her on her forehead and whispered “happy birthday darls” in her ear..
She moaned sleepily and tossed her face to the other side and stated to snore..
I thought to wake her up and say my wishes, but looking at my sleeping beauty i couldn’t do it..i dragged a chair to her bed..and i lay there watching my angel in that bed light..
Then it was not gravity that was holding me to the ground, but it was her...
I don’t know how many moments have passed , the first rays of the sun have hit her from the window, she looked even more beautiful in that orange flash..i saw her eyelids flickering and they opened a bit..
“good morning shravs” i said smiling
“good morningggggggggggggg” she said again cloing her eyes
Suddenly she sat on her bed, sat still seeing me...
“how, how could you..that too here” she was reacting as if thunder stuck her down
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHRAVYA” I said as I opened my bag to her my gift..
“thank you harsha,
Hey what happened to your leg??” she inclined forward to see
“nothing re, night in the darkness, i hit my leg to the edge of the almirah and i got hurt” i said ,taking her hands in my hands
“you are an idiot harsha” she said with a mocking sense of anger in her voice
“shravs” i called, extending my hand towards her..
She came silently and sat over my lap..i gently handover her my present..
“open it “ i said..i was just looking at her eyes to see her reaction
“its..its your dairy..!!!!” she sounded surprised
“this dairy is from the day we met..till this day..with every verse and lines i wrote for you” said i kissing her shoulder
“thank you baby..love you” she said
She readjusted herself of my lap, inched forward, and rested her chin on my shoulder, and said
“love you baby, i want you for ever” and bit my ear lobe gently
“hey shravys, we will be TOGETHER TILL ETERNITY”
