Though much to his discomfort, I was looking straight into his eyes…so as not to escape even the slightest ex-pression, be it of surprise or confusion or hesitation…!!

“I don kno…” he said in a clear voice…..

Had he said ‘yes’ I wud sure have been disappointed…..as natural n honest as ever, I thought smilingly…!!!.....we turned towards the window again…

“such a lovely weather….isn’t it…??” I said as I saw some water collect in my stretched palm…

“yeah, it is...”

Suddenly, mischievously, I splashed it on his face n a moment later he was after my lyfe as I vainly tried to escape his tight grip on my wrist…..

“rini ki bacchi…”

“aah…aah...ok…ok…I’m sorry…I’m sorry….leave me no Adi….” I wailed…!! but he wont n I knew how he wud….. 

"aayiiiiii….” I screamed playfully n he let go off my wrist immediately….!!

n then we were in riots of laughter…that was like reliving those college days again…pure delight…!! We settled ourselves on the bed…talking abt the past, college, old frnds, studies, our jobs, families, future plans n wat not…..I have no account of where n how the time flew by….I never wanted that night to end….

“journey was probably more beautiful than destination”…!!

When I opened my eyes, it was near to dawn, I cud hear chirping of the birds, n feel the sweet smell of wet earth thru the window, ‘the rain had stopped’…..that was when I realized that smtime while talkin during the night we had fallen asleep…..my head rested on his shoulder n his arm held me around my waist……!!!

“My hhheart skipped ahh beat”….!!!!!!!!!!

to be cont…
