#12: Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Kunj always wondered on the saying Eyes are the gateway to the soul'. How would eyes possibly be the entrance on one's soul? What is a soul anyway?
He was standing by the mirror, peering deep into the black abyss of his eyes, trying to get a glimpse of his soul. Instead, all he got back was his own reflection. He tilted his head up, bent it down, dropped it at an angle and yet all remained the same. There was no soul to be seen! Stupid sayings!
"Oho ho! Dekho aaj kaun khada hai aaine ke saamne! Mr. Kunj Sarna, aaine ko aise aakhe phaad-phaad kar dekhogey toh aaina bhi darr ke maare toot jayega, samjhe? Chal abhi hatho, mujhe apne baal banane hai." Twinkle says, giving her husband a slight shove away from the mirror. She grabs her hairbrush fully intend on running it through the wet strands of her hair, when Kunj grabs her by the elbows and turns her towards him.
She lets out a yelp in utter surprise. And then her eyes popped wide as Kunj drew his face closer to hers. "K-Kunj-yeh hum-yeh tum kya kar rahe ho?" She manages to speak despite her knotted tongue.
"Look in to my eyes, what do you see?" his eyes are boring into hers and it makes it all the more difficult for her to form coherent sentences. His eyes, they were of the richest chocolaty hue and had depths that could drown her forever.
"Kya?"
"Tujhe meri aakhon mein kya nazar aa raha hai?"
"Kunj yeh tum kya bol rahe ho? Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai." She tells him lowly, confident that an octave higher and her voice would betray her. He is so close to her, so close. And she is finding it difficult to breathe and yet she sucks in a deep breath, trying to get as much of the cologne of his, permanently lodged in her lungs.
"Log kehte hai, that eyes are the gateway to the soul', tujhe mere aakhon mein kya nazar aa raha hai?"
So she dares a look into those whirlpool eyes. And maybe what the people say is true, maybe eyes do reflect the soul because all she can see in those beautiful eyes of her husband is purity, love, devotion and just a sprinkling of mischief.
But she was being too philosophical. What she actually and literally could see in his eyes was herself staring at him. His eyes are the perfect mirrors' she thinks and wonders why she ever stood in front of that useless silver piece of glass over their dressing table to get ready when she could be looking into Kunj's eyes.
"Bol na." he asks her again.
She replies without another thought. "Main."
"Kya?"
"Tumhari aakhon mein, mujhe main khud nazar aa rahi hoon."
Verbal conversation ceases, time stops and the world around them makes no sense. All that made sense, all that mattered was her and him and them together.
"Toh phir log, sach hi bol rahe the." He tells her after a while.
"Kaise?" She wonders. She is sure he couldn't and wouldn't see what she sees in him.
"Because, you are my soul. Kyuki tu hi toh hai, meri rooh mai, meri dhadkano mein, mere dil mein."
And wasn't it true?
THE END.
