…a small girl was pulling her mother down near to her grabbing her
dress some time, holding her neck some time, pulling her shawl some time. The mother got irritated and shouted at her
to hold her mischief till they leave home from that textiles shop. The girl didn’t listen, continued to drag her
down as if she want to tell her mother something and the mother was busy
talking to somebody nearby, looking at textiles which others were holding in
their hands and shoulders looking at the mirror. The girl received a slap on her sweet cheeks,
small cheeks. Her eyes turned red, tears
slowly walked down her cheeks. After the
slap and looking at her tears the mother bent down to ask her what does she
wants. The little girl with her tears and
slightly bruised cheeks grabbed her mother by neck and stamped her lips on her mothers’
cheek. The mother looked her for a
second and all the virtual reality of materials around her vanished and she relinquished
herself to the little girl’s kiss, the immortal love, and the immaculate bond.
The mother grabbed her child with her arms alike a selfish money hunger man
grabbing currency notes with his arms…
…he looked at all this and thought this is how love works. There is always a mother who hesitate the
call of love and the child who never quits until a blow is given and the love
is understood. Few drops of tears should
be shed but it is sacred, that makes the childish love an immaculate
affection. Whatever, when the given love
is like the love of a kid towards a mother then the one who hesitates will one
day grab the love to understand the kid’s heart. The blow might hurt but the kid never stops
showing her love towards a mother if that is the case in the love, then, it is
immaculate.
His thoughts kept munching the idea of love, the doubt on its trueness,
the skeptical thought of its mere existence till he reached home.
I was childish in love, he thought. Nothing so far he has got other
than the pain that love gave as the result of falling in love, nothing so far
he has got. He does not know to act
smart, to cheat, to change, and to seduce his love not only because he didn’t believe
in it but also he didn’t know. Though expectation of she returning the love he
gave her looked foolish since she do not know him, but, the God hasn’t created
the hormones to dance that way, his typical design of heart and love is perfect
though miserable to understand.
He looked at his mobile phone, slowly pressed down button to browse
through the contacts and reached his final destination – her name. And he
remembered that he has to run the flash back in his mind to munch the idea of
love he had had in his mind. The flash
back ran. A prose he remembered ‘words
might kill’ in fact it kills.
‘Why should I suffer when I have thousand and one way out to change my
mind and look out for something else, even, somebody else. Why should I suffer‘, He thought. Hard pressing a red button made the mobile
screen blank. He opened the message
inbox to browse and found it which he hasn’t deleted since it landed in his
mobile.
‘Let me delete it now, let me change my mind, love has no value, no one
will respond to love, why should I get depressed for the one who haven’t even
cared to look into my eyes once to see that I am her soul mate which she could
find in my eyes alike I found in hers’.
Oh! Everything is humbug. A full
stop to all these non sense feeling will make me happy, I want to be happy, she
cannot understand my love, let me change my mind, I do not deserve her, let
life show me somebody else who I deserve’ He said to himself and threw the
mobile phone in the dark midnight, in the hall where he was lying.
He laid his head on the pillow to rest, to sleep. ‘I now have thrown everything out of my mind,
I am free, I am not goanna count back the happenings, let her be in her own way
and me in mine. Thanks for the lesson
you taught my love’ he thought and… and he slept.
The phone rang, he picked and it was her voice, the voice which he
wanted to hear for his life. She said ‘hello’
and he opened his eyes to see nothing has changed, it is just a dream. His heart pondered, he searched something in
that dark all around the floor, his mobile phone which he threw. It should not have broken, he believed. After few minutes, he found separated battery
and mobile phone and its panel cover. He
reassembled it with a prayer that it should work. A bright beam of light woke up from the
mobile to tell him that it is still alive.
He opened the message inbox and found the two text message she has sent
knowing without that it is to him to whom she replied; ‘who is this’ in two
different modulation. He pressed it on
his eyes, lied down in bed again. ‘Love
exist, I expect not her to love me back still she will stay with me in my heart’ he thought closing his eyes placing the
mobile phone over his chest and… and he slept.
