Awaiting a Better Life!!

9th July '09'

"On 20th June 2009"
The departure lounge at the airport was crowded. At 5.30 in the evening, it looked dark and dull. I'd rather say 'It looked gloomy'.
'VISITORS ALLOWED INSIDE THE LOUNGE' read the sign board!! 'Security measures relief', I sighed!!

It was time for him to checking-in the baggage. They wouldn't let you out, once you enter the checkin area but you could stand and talk with a steel bar in between. We happily spent one and half hours talking to each other...holding hands and managing to hug in between above the steel bar!

Besides us were a few teary eyed people departing from the dear one's. Our eyes were full of love!!

Finally, he was asked to go for immigration!! We were baffled..Time passed soo fast...He had to leave and he was leaving..

I looked deep into his eyes. His round lively eyes were lost in my gaze.
A long pause... I took his hand into mine and said 'I'll join you soon and I love you'. He kissed me saying "I love U too" and asked me to leave before he could turn his back.

I walked ahead, looking back to see him every second moment.
I walked looking through the tall dark tinted glasses... The scene outside looked gloomier through the tinted glass.

I figured out that he was standing in the same place. As I walked through the path, I noticed something. I wasn't crying.

Just minutes before we left from the home, I was feeling inconsolable. But now...I didn't blink...I called the cabby and peacefully waited for him. Sat in th cab and the phone rang. I picked up the phone immediately and we spoke..
I said, I shall call once at home and stared out of the cab window w/o any realization. I was frozen!!

I messaged him, and he replied in return. After a long time, we exchanged so many sms'es. I still have them safe in my inbox.
The charm of wonderful words is best expressed when you type them so we din't talk.

I was at peace, no scattered thoughts in my head! I reached home after 45 mints from my departure from the airport.Went up and unlocked the door and I stared at the house from the entrance for 2 mins. I realized, I am going to be here w/o him.
Tears glistened on my cheeks. My vision was blurred... Thanks to the tears.

I wiped my tears away with one hand as I called him with the other. My reaching home safe was a relief to his ears. We spoke again...Finally it was time for his depart from hyd and it tuk him off...

I was awake to hear from him before his departure from Mumbai and then the timezone difference kept me awake late that night to hear from him about his safe landing. Restless, I was becoming with each second passing. Finally, at 3 pm India Time, I heard my Angel's voice. He was fine..he was good... Sigh a relief!! Not really wanting to do that, but he had just reached the airport and had to rush to his acco so we hung!

I smiled again. There he was... My entire world... I maybe his life partner, but he's my life. I felt his presence all over again..

And the Wait starts....Wait for a new beginning!!!! A few more days... For the begining of a new year full of birthdays to celebrate, functions to attend, Valentine's Day to celebrate Love...To be remembered for a lifetime...
