Ambiguous Rains

Your expressive oceans hypnotize me

"You can't gaze into my eyes" he challenged. But, I did for the words I took it as 'WAR'.

Without a blink he stared and allowed me to get drowned in those deep oceans.

Resting at Marine Drive. one can fall in love with the beauty it dawns upon you. I could hear gushing of waves inside-out, in his eloquent eyes and against those tetra-conical rocks with round curves.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen you in long open hairs” he sensed my shyness and continued “Nice”

“Very Nice” I retorted and we both giggled eyeing the coast.

“Pay heed to this waves, they have got something to let you know” directing me towards waves he approached.

“I can’t react the way they are asking me to” I retorted

Mysterious eyes conveyed every bit of the word left unspoken. More than verses our silence made best of conversation.

“The best of sunset I could ever visualize” he still retracts.

Gawking those silver lining on clouds in my eyeballs he embarked each pinch of details designing the most striking dusk. Sun like a crowned king escorted by gloomy clouds then bade adieu. So were his eyes, gloomy which were filled with mirth. Initially I just couldn’t  ogle but for the vocabes “I wana see the sunset in your wonderland” I fixed my eyes at the Sun which was playing hide & seek with clouds, He pointed out every single fact featuring the twilight, there commenced an amazing eve.

Face was lit up bright. Zest and zeal  filled the heart in multitude but I shaped it in a little curvy smile for the sake of not spoiling even a single moment but a remarkable memory.

Navy blue full sleeved shirt with a red strap embracing his collar bone, statured his manly abs and so curvy biceps. In the shade of sand trousers he wore, combining with black shoes, a bit squarely rounded pointing towards toe. Blended all in all with slight perfume and his million dollar smile made him look all the more a Heart-throb.

Little Drizzles turned windy inferring to our senses about heavy showers. But, thank God, something didn’t happen that sort of. Till the time I longed for him, I hardly saw a raindrop. For the past 15 loooooong minutes I awaited for him. He didn’t arrive late but I reached before time. I must state that quarter was worth a wait. The minute he occupied my sight, as if the globe stopped its rotation, all honks-chirps-chitter-chatter lost their originality. Hundreds of butterflies started fluttering in my yummy-tummy. I was all lost in him, went into my own world of paradise with wide open eyes, going red in smiles. Reality broke when our greeting hand-shake sensed droplets. For the moment we stood still then and there deciding whether to move ahead or backwards, again to our daily routine. Destiny had planned that eve, we moved forward towards Arabian Sea. I looked at the grey blanket above my head who was calling us with its open arms to feel its cozy embrace. With our every step drips followed. It was as if he bought it all with his arrival. Windy wavy water welcomed us with all the sounds it could make. I perceived its message and felt gratuitous for the warm reception. I love that gushing sound of waves it make every time when I visit, but that day I loved it even more. We sat there for hours, had a walk along Queen’s necklace, WALK TO REMEMBER for the lifetime.

I read him my poem which I had jotted down in local train while boarding towards Churchgate in red ink out of love it shined more. It wouldn’t have been possible to utter those lines for him for I was feeling a bit shy, an Irony. It was as if words lost touch with an extrovert-talkative girl.

“You’ll read it with utmost emphasis whenever required, words not losing their originality” he summoned me.

Had he not said those words, I wouldn’t have gained courage to read out aloud just for him, holding all my shyness and blushes.

“How could you pen down so artistically in such a short span of time” he inquired.

“Coz it’s you & all for you” that’s all I could state expressing all those adjectives which I was holding on till then.

A cup of chai with his first sip made it sweeter. One more irony, I wanted to have tea that day.

More than lips we conversed with blinks, gaze, blushes, gestures & warm touches. Heart beats paced up when I moved my eyes off from him and turned against him. That very instance he blew my tresses from my back. I felt him close, too close to ear anything but each other’s breath and smell the cologne. We then said nothing but heard everything. Our gestures sufficed our feelings. Everything was too cold and silent to be adapted by me inclusive of my own self.

We nattered about loneliness to almost everything. At an instance, I was almost about to shed had he not cuddled my head, had he not adorned me like a kiddo, had he not clinched my tresses with so much affection. Tears welled up for the reason he uttered the most painful word ‘separation’, but he made sure that they don’t roll down. I fell for him even more.

 I don’t know what I was speaking, sometimes verses and he completed the same, at-times instrumental in voice, he sang the same…

For some days then on I was all spellbound in this lyrics बे  इन्तेहाँ  यूँ  प्यार  कर ……. 

I don’t know what am I suppose to conclude for the BOND we share……..  

I don’t know whether I have ever got wet in first rains, but that day I was drenched in his CLINCH from top to bottom……

I don’t know had I ever tracked every minute, but that THREE HOURS were like three lives lived at a stretch ……..

I don’t know whether MONDAY is lucky for me, but that was an eve darkening into dusk with wavy winds, cozy weather, drowning shafts beautifying the sea and so did dribbling little droplets, all it added to “A  PERFECT  EVE” along with so very “PERFECT  HIM.”

I don’t know exactly what does a ‘Date’ mean as I’ve never been so lucky to experience one. Despite all that, whatever that day had in store for me, knowingly – unknowingly all abbreviations, disclosed what they actually mean in reality.

For the very first time reality was far better than a mere dream!
