Love like never before!

It was 24 hours since they fought and he had not called her ever since he said those words “It’s over”.

Her heart sank once again but deep down she knew he will call her again. She kept checking her phone every 5 minutes, but no signs of his name popping up. After a routine disappointing unsatisfactory day at office she came back dreading to be home this weekend. Now that he was not talking, she would think about him, remember the times they spent together and brood to the fullest at home doing nothing. She cursed the weekend for giving her so much time to think about him.

She looked in the mirror and saw that face. Her hair was getting grey from everywhere and she could easily figure out that she would be losing all of it soon. She hated the feeling of growing old. All those years of stress stole all the vibrance and energy she had in her and she wondered if she can give herself enough time to fall in love again with the same person.

She heard her phone ringing and her heart beat fastened. She knew it was him. She did not care what he had to say but she was glad he called.

So did you get the courier? Asked Abhi. This was not what she was expecting from him, with a firm voice Rhea said what courier, I dint get anything. Did you call me just to ask this?

Can you open the door and come out he said? 

Is it one of your poor jokes on me again, I am not opening the door because there will be nobody there, said Rhea irritatingly.

Rhea ‘Open the door he said’, his voice sounded exhausted this time.

Hesitatingly she opened the door and peeked through it, she saw him standing in the Balcony where she spends time talking on phone with him. He looked manly as ever leaning on that balcony with a perfect posture.

She never hoped to see him at her place as he lived in New York and she in California but there he was. She jumped out of the house and before she could step out she saw roses in front of the door. She looked at him and smiled. She picked those beautiful red roses. It reminded her how she used to buy roses for herself every valentines as there was nobody to give her. She kept them carefully inside and jumped on to hug him.

Idiot! You came all the way to meet me, she shouted with joy.

I am hungry , I had to take whatever quickest flight I got and haven’t eaten anything since yesterday, he said .

Why do you fight with me like that and she hugged him again.

He hugged her tight and said ‘I won’t I am sorry’. She kissed him gently and apologized for shouting at him.

Pack your bags we are leaving, Abhi had always perfect plans even in an unplanned situation. She quickly grabbed whatever she could and without asking a question she started with him. Sitting in the Luxurious car with him, she felt as if he had been living here since years. He took her to every place that she thought she would go with him when he comes to California. She personally hated this city but only till she saw it from his eyes. She was working in the city and had her friends but has never seen this side of California which Abhi showed her. They went bowling, watched movie, danced, got drunk, the horse ride, watched Sunset together and Rhea loved how Abhi was holding her close to him by her waist all the time. Every time she was with him , he made her feel like a princess.

It was time for him to go, he kissed her on her forehead and she saw him leaving disappearing at the airport security check. She went home and kept chatting with him on her way back home. She saw the roses that he gave her. There were 3 of them in a beautiful vase. She took a close look at them and realized he left a message on each one of them.

The first one said: Fuck the bad moments in the past

The second said: Count the good moments in present.

The third one Said: Hope for best moments in future.

She smiled and thought, sometimes all it takes is to know how much we love each other, and all the troubles in the world look smaller. As for Rhea, she never liked California so much before :)
