There was never a moment of truth that was so in the face… I walked out of home feeling a little excited… a little worried… a little lost… and a little skeptical.
The drive did not feel that long at all… It was filled with a million thoughts… lilting music…. And… lots of traffic enroute to my destination.
I maneuvered the car into the parking lot, turned off the engine and breathed… I was now feeling the butterflies in my stomach… and a tingle in my spine. I was going to finally meet him… and this wasn’t a dream.
A few minutes later I was at the arrival hall, looking for a familiar face… the flight landed 15 minutes early… and I was feeling lost. I wondered if he did take the flight… maybe…he hadn’t… maybe he saw me and decided otherwise… and from yet another perspective… well… I was wondering if he was watching me… from somewhere close… then I saw a missed call on my phone… it was him. He was already waiting for me… he had already spotted me… and he watched me look for him… famously 10 minutes later than the scheduled time of arrival.
A few phone calls later… and making me feel really guilty for not being able to spot him… and walking past him twice (trust me when I tell you… I didn’t even expect him to be on that side of the arrival lounge… closer to the pre paid taxi stand.
I said “Hi!”and hugged him… I did not ever feel that I only just met him… it felt like we had known each other forever… and were meeting after a rather long break (one night, a week before he arrived in my life, we actually spoke about how this moment in time would feel like… and we both felt the same)… the reality of the moment… well… exactly what we thought.
The drive home was filled with conversations in spurts… for it was amazing just to be together… short sentences… smiles… updates… and just small pieces of information to make each other comfortable and more smiles, more glances and yes many attempts to ruin my concentration on the road ;)
35 minutes later we reached home… Morris, still wanting to pinch himself to ensure that he wasn’t dreaming.
This is amazing. Definitely throws a lot of light on true feeling of love.
ReplyDeleteReading this I could recall the movie "Dil to Pagal" where it has been mentioned somewhere someone is made for you.And uppar walla aapne aap ishara kar deta hai and everything follows there after.
All the best :-)
