The day when I realised
You were sitting on the first bench of the classroom
to get everything written while the professor gave his lecture. Everyone was
bored, some were even dazing among themselves; you were the only one who was
listening to what the lecture was all about. Don’t get me wrong but seriously
any sane person would feel obligated to just run out of this class take a deep
fresh air because of suffocation that some subjects may tend to make you feel.
And there was you sitting all alone scrubbing noted
that the teacher was teaching, oh!!!! How much I hate you and like to pull your
leg and love to see your dark red shade face when you’re furious and come back
with witty attitude.
Because although I hated you there was some sort of
respect was there for you in my heart, because you were the only one who had
this tendency to make my skin crawl and blood boil with your sharp response.
At first I always thought that how dare you talk to me
or even look at me with that dark caramel, golden eyes of yours. Then all
of a sudden it hit me like cold water was splashed on me. I was obsessed with
you and damn I can’t get my mind off you.
I still remember that day of our class reunion when
you wore a silk gown with your hair done with few tendrils falling on your
face. That time I could swear to all Gods present in this universe that my heart
had stopped beating and I forgot to take a breath unless my mate told me to
keep breathing.
That was the day I realized that I cannot lose you to
any one, because I wanted to keep you mine.
I wanted a life with you, I wanted
to walk beside you for the rest of my life to give my life a meaning, a
purpose, because I had realized that I need a woman in my life who can stand
for herself, who can keep me on my toes, who I can never outsmart to. You were
my mate and I want you there for the rest of my life.
Now you’re sleeping right beside me it’s been 6 years
since we got married and I can’t help but see at your beautiful face. Then you
spoke with your eyes still close….. “You know you really need to stop doing
that, staring at me that like you’re seeing me for the first time. I’m not
going anywhere because I know you will find me and I have nowhere to go without
you” that brought a smile at my face…I was about to say; then the bedroom door
creaked open and a toddler of 4 years came running….. Mummy!!!! Daddy!!!! We
both smiled and let our son climb between us on the bed; he gave his sloppy
kiss to both of us that always make our heart melt.
The two important
people in my life go back to sleep…Seeing them like this always makes me wonder
what good did I do to deserve a family like this….I thank god for giving them
to me.
And I will always cherish it….
