Life is Small....Moments are Brief....

(10 months and 7 days after the previous post…..)
Time-11:43 pm…
A heavy storm with roaring thunders vibrating the whole building like a mild quake is what all going around when the door banged open against the wall. She is literally hanging to him as they rushed in hitting whatever comes their way to the bed. Ripping of each other’s clothes as if two mammals fighting for a piece of meat in the other’s mouth. Finally fell on the bed before they are done fighting.

His mind is calm and completely focused on what he is doing. In other words, he is working hard on the physical front with mind completely at rest. She is quite opposite. She is thinking and so much focused on her thoughts that she is barely responding to any physical activity. The sense of he belongs to her, he loves her, he needs her… is much more pleasurable than anything he is doing to her. She needs nothing more from this world. She is on the 11^th moon. So is he…But on a totally different side…but something struck her suddenly. She tried to withhold him. He can feel something is wrong but ignored it as he is busy embracing her. She held him tight enough so that he couldn’t move at all. It finally struck him that she is gonna pop up something…

She: I love you baby...…I love you vhh...erryy mhhu....uchh…. (Broke into tears…and hugged him so tight that he cannot breathe... but he can feel those warm tears running across his bare shoulder)

He: I love you baby!!!! ????

She: (looking straight into his eyes)...I WANT YOU…I WANT ALL OF YOU… (With tone of greed)

He: I am all yours baby!!!...You can sell me or even can… can kill me…. (Smiling)

She: (Hiding those smiles and clearing those tears)…promise me you gonna stay forever. Promise you will never leave me alone…PROMISE ME!!!!

He: (With a serious tone) I PROMISSSS…will never leave you…I love you…I love you allot. You???...you are a wonder that happened to me…you are my pumpkin… (Started kissing slowly)…YOUU ARE MY BAABYY… (Kissing hard)…I LOVE YOUUU… (Breathing hardly)…

Time-5:35 am…

It’s raining heavily outside with loud thunders. She couldn’t sleep comfortably. Couldn’t feel his breathe. Opened her eyes in half sleep and found him on the edge of the other end. Rolled her herself slowly to the other end of the bed. Slide hands around him. But he is in deep sleep, haven’t noticed her at all. Pushed her herself hard into him making way through his folded hands and legs. Hugged him hard enough that she needs no effort to kiss his lips. The warmth in his breath filled all around her in no time and she closed her eyes happily...

Time-6:55 am…

She is growing desperate to make love again. Tried everything from kissing hardly to kicking softly…but none wake him. She pretty well knows what happens next if she wakes him forcibly. She doesn’t wanna take any chances. She even doubted if he is sleeping or not. But she is not ready to give up either.

 Suddenly clock struck 7 o’clock and the alarm rang so hard and heavy that she hides her head under the pillows. He wakes up normally as if he is aware of it and rushes into the bath room picking up his towel. She is shocked to see what’s going on. Numerous thoughts crawling in her mind…

Is he really sleeping? Is he acting? Why would he do that? Why he is in a rush?

Before she can figure out one logical answer, he rushed under the fan with a blow dryer in one hand and shaking his cologne in the other. Dressed up formally in a minute and putting the knot to his tie, he said.

He: Baby, get me that book under the wallet.

She took it out and noticed a bunch of flight tickets and coupons. Took them out and before she ask anything he replied

He: Got an important meeting in the office. Have to settle all my duties with Mr. Hawkins. Have to catch a flight to Chicago by 11am.

She: (wondering why he didn’t tell before) When will you be back? Ur luggage?

He: luggage was packed and put at office yesterday.

She: (trying to ask something)…when..all this...??? (Didn’t listened to her at all)

He: Got an interview tomorrow morning in a friend’s company. He needs me so badly that he has even booked To&Fro tickets through the company. Actually…Don’t need these return tickets if they offer a fair deal. Have to work for them at least for a year and I wish to return only after making pretty sum (haven’t looked her into face)

He: (Wearing his watch, checked the time and freaked) 7:30!!!!! Damn!!!…Im late..

He: (Reached her…hugged hard. Kissed even harder) I love you baby!!! Will never leave you…And I am always yours…..bye… (Made his way out of the door and walked away)….

She stood there dumb. It’s like freezing to death. A sharp pain in the chest as if she got a heart stroke, spreading to all other parts through nerve impulses. Felt like tears became a hormone in her blood. She fell off her feet, collapsed on the floor but still very conscious. Looking in to vacuum and wondering if this is a dream….. She felt like used and betrayed.

Suddenly something struck her mind. She knew this is not right. It’s not supposed to happen this way. She knew him pretty well and he can never do such thing to her. A flush of memories falling in and she can relate them logically. Like a flash of light, she ran into the balcony, clearing those tears before she got any conclusions. He is there standing next to the car, waiting for her last glimpse. Not exactly! He is waiting there to convey something. Something he knew that he can’t convince her through words last night. He smiled at her with a sigh and pointed to a flowering pot hung to the ceiling above her head. She saw a small tag hooked across a pink rose bud which got soaked in the heavy rain last night. She pulled it open and it was written by him

"Life is short, moments are brief, feelings are forever---I WILL BE BACK"

Each word she heard in past. All those things he left them as clues in memories. She knew what all he wants to say. He has his goals and responsibilities before she met him. He has his dreams before they dreamt together. He loves her and he will stick to it forever. He wish her to enjoy each moment live. This could be a small gap or a huge space, he is not sure. What important is he loves her and she need to understand him. She has to support him in this journey as he did a million times before. All of sudden, everything seemed crystal clear to her.

Hugged a pillar next to her with one hand, head bent over its edge, waving him with the other hand, tears running so fast across the eyes with a huge smile over her lips.
