A story!

“At what time you would be back?” Aditi asked Sameer.

“It’s Friday! I would be back early. When would you be back?” said Sameer as he starts his car.

“I’ll be late, have a meeting at the end of the day.” Replied Aditi and waved her hand to say good bye.

Sameer met Aditi few years back and they fell in love instantly and it was not late when they got married. Love at first sight! Theirs was not a fairytale love story but they fell head  over heels in love with each other.

“Did he really forget?” thought Aditi as she closed the doors.

It was their marriage anniversary. They had always celebrated it on a grand scale. But today none of them wished the other. Aditi had planned a big surprise for Sameer. She had taken an off from the work. Yet, she expected Sameer to wish her. She was upset but then off late Sameer was extremely engaged in his work. Though he never talks about it but pressure was on his head from every corner. He always pretended that black is white. Aditi knew about it.

She spent the all day in decorating the house and preparing the dishes. By the time she finished, it was five in the evening. She took a quick shower. She opened her wardrobe and selected a purple spaghetti dress that she bought recently.

SplasheS Of LovE

I was strolling down the shore. Moon was gleaming on the water. It was a beautiful night with full moon. I was in awe of the moon that alone had outshined the uncountable scattered stars. Waves were making the pleasant sound as they were touching the shoreline one after another. A tender breeze from ocean was caressing my body. Ambience was dominated by the glittering sand, soothing breeze and moonlight.

I sat on one of the rocking chairs fixed on the sand facing the ocean. I lifted my face to look at the moon. ‘God must be in a romantic mood when he created the moon.’, I thought. It was beautiful. I looked at the ocean as a small wave splattered few drops of water on my legs.

 Beautiful beach- beautiful ocean- beautiful moon- beautiful ambience. It was all extremely beautiful.

I was in a dreamland. Everything was vivid. I got so fascinated by it that I was left unsatisfied with beauty. I wanted more! I turned my face left and then right in a quest for more beauty. I couldn’t find any! I got disappointed. I looked down in agony and struck the sand with my leg and then the sand was in the air next moment. It was flying away from me gently. Suddenly, I saw something between the droplets of sand. It was not visible clearly. I brushed the sand aside with my hands. Still, I was not able to look at it. I left the chair and stood up. Now I saw it moving. I moved towards it. It moved away from me, towards the ocean. I moved faster. It stopped! Distance between us lessened. It slowly turned towards me. I stopped and hold my breath. My heart refused to beat. That was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. No, it was not a thing. It wasn’t an illusion either. I knew, I was in love the moment I saw her. Yes, it was a girl. She came close to me. She holds my hand in hers. I looked into her eyes, big and mysterious! My eye’s followed my heart’s route. They refused to blink. There was complete silence, only a slow and serene breeze with the splashes of water was blowing.
