Love At First Sight
I went and sat on a high rock. There were only couples around me walking hand-in-hand and that too very few of them as it was too late. I just kept on staring at them. Not that I desperately wanted someone to love me but somewhere deep inside this loneliness was killing me. But I just brushed this thought aside and tried to think of more positive things in life. I thought about my first day at Sanjeevani. Yeah, I had been selected as an intern at the country's best hospital. It is going to begin the next day. I was still thinking about all this and suddenly there was a screeching sound.
I turned to look. There I saw a car came to an abrupt halt after being driven at high speed. I presumed it to be some drunken spoilt brat. As soon as the door opened, stepped down a girl in her early-20's. She looked very prim and proper and by the looks one could tell that she hailed from a very good family. I thought she was here to meet her boyfriend like others. I saw her going towards a high rock and seating herself there. Though could not see her face properly I could sense that something was wrong as she sat there for a very long time alone. Eventually, everyone started to leave besides the two of us.
Time passed by as kept gazing at her. Her beautiful long, black, silky hairs blew due the wind and caressed her face softly. She tucked them behind her ears. She had beautiful big eyes and sharp features. When she turned her face towards me to scan the place my heart skipped a beat. She was so beautiful, pure and pristine. She looked like an angel. Innocent face, flawless complexion, expressive eyes. Never before was I so moved by seeing a girl. There were many around me, some after Mac and me but no one had this effect on me at the first sight itself. This made me curious. I wanted to talk to her. I could feel that she was troubled.
She seemed to be lost in her thoughts. Her eyes were fixed on the sea and how the waves came rushing to the shore and went back silently. Suddenly I saw drops of tear rolling down her cheeks. They glistened in the moonlight. I instantly felt the urge to sit next to her and comfort her, but decided otherwise and remained seated. Some more drops trickled down her cheeks. She was sobbing silently. After some time, when it was time for day-break she went quiet and I saw a smile creeping up on her lips as the sun shone and radiated brightness throughout the sky. This was the first time I saw her smiling. Her smile lit me up and I just could not stop adoring her. She got up to leave.
After 5 minutes her car vanished out of my sight. I was still sitting there wondering what had happened to me and why did I feel like this for a stranger. I was pining to see her again. My heart was hopeful. I could feel that we will meet again and that this could not be the end of it. With a heavy heart I left the place as it was time to go home and get ready for my first day at the hospital. Even when I reached home I did not feel the lonesomeness, I felt really nice as if I was complete now. The sun rays were adorning every nook and corner of the house. It was looking so bright and colourful. My heart leapt with joy. I soon realized the time and got ready to leave.
I reached my workplace 15 minutes earlier to familiarize myself. I went to the terrace. I spent the rest of my free time there and returned for our orientation. We were given a speech by the head of the hospital. Later on we were told to go to the locker room and choose any one out of them to keep our belongings. On our way there I introduced myself to other fellow interns and I had a good time chatting with them. Suddenly, I remembered that it was supposed to be five of us while only four of us were here. I asked one of them and he told me that the fifth one is a girl, his sister. Soon after orientation was over she made her way to the locker room. I would find her there. I somehow was feeling eager to see her.
When we entered the locker room I was stunned. I kept on staring at the person in front of me for few unaccountable seconds before I was jerked back into my senses. The girl whom I had seen at the beach last night was standing right in front of my eyes. She smiled at me and introduced herself. I did the same and outstretched my hand for a handshake. She grabbed immediately and I felt like I was on cloud nine. Soon after we became friends and I managed to ask her about that night at the beach. She again got emotional and had fleeting tears in her eyes. She told me that she lost her mom when she was quite young and it was her mom's dream that both her children become doctors. That night was the night before her mom's dream could actually come true and she was happy about it but also missed her mom a lot, so they were tears of both joy and grief. I, at that moment could not stop myself from engulfing her into a hug and soothe her. She was also taken aback for a moment but soon eased herself in my arms. Both of us were very happy together and wanted to remain like that for eternity. Later, we confessed our feelings for each other and today that girl is my life, my love, my reason for living. We got married two months back and since then I have seen only happiness in my life.
