Ok I am preparing myself for mojris that's going to come my way but I still couldn't help myself from posting this, I blame Mini who not only encouraged me to post it but was also the inspiration to write it in the first place, With so many brilliant writers around so much creativity on this forum I feel humbled and apprehensive posting this, please do bear with me as it's my first effort into writing anything at all that's not IT related...feel free to comment good or bad like/dislike, all accepted with distribution of * chocolate brownies*
Gulaal,
It's been 7 years 4 month 12 days and 11 hours since I last saw you, but it's still so vividly clear in my mind, I can remember each and every tiny detail of the day, day my life changed forever...
I have kept my side of the promise Gulaal albeit partly, I have moved on to a new city, new job, new home, new environment but I still can't give your place to anyone else, mere thought of it makes me shudder with an unknown fear, I cannot destroy my only hope that breathes life into me every morning I get up, the beautiful and angelic smile on your face shining through the first ray of sunshine, the innocent laughter and those soulful eyes that stays with me till I drift off to sleep, impossible to even consider possibility of this, so please forgive me for my broken promise..
That fateful day walking away slowly, feeling your eyes behind, accepting your silence, respecting your decision a body departed but soul remained how do I convince this body to give up hope of its deserved reunion with its soul some fateful day
I have to confess I have stealthily stolen something of yours, and as it has been a habit through all these years I am writing about it to get over the guilt or is it? Remember the day after the panchayat decided to dissolve the diyarvattu at our behest I sneakily took away your box of green bangles and placed the earrings there, please forgive me but I wanted to keep something with me that adorned your beautiful hand, the contented smile when you wore them one by one in front of that mirror reminiscing happy memories was all I wanted to take with me as something to reflect on and bring that contentment to my heart to feel the essence of being alive
One more thing which I understood really late but I am glad I did, You were so right about love being unconditional, oblivious to person absence or presence, unmindful of person's life span I know and accept it's eternal and I have found my peace and harmony believing in the same.
I know you will never be able to read this, but I will still hope for you to walk in to these awaiting arms every living moment of my life
Forever yours,
Kesar
