The day started as usually but it was lazy and I was feeling weird and feeling crazy. Might be due to lack of sleep the night before as I was preparing for my last internals of my masters. Though I have a feeling that I have achieved enough of my career by scoring great digits of my percentages, which broke all my previous records. Today night I am feeling different to be frank I was in a romantic mood.

And it started drizzling so I felt like stopping my reading process and pushed it aside. Then called one of my friend who is a female. As I mentioned earlier I was in a great mood I called her. She is used to be my friend till that night later what happened you will soon know what happened to her, I neglected my studies from that point of time as I felt life has gone too much soaring in my career. So, now it’s time to turn and look at my personal life where I never had a gal friend. Though I had many friends who are gals.

So, I dialed the digits and called her, it has been long time and we were used to talk like anything. We both are great ice breakers and unstoppable talkers. So, it started… as it was drizzling and I was on roof top, in the light of neon bulb which was a bit reddish resembling the mood.

Then we were talking about our days the way we used to talk, and also about our routine days and our problems we face at our work places. Then we started talking about roomies who are bunch of assholes who aren’t even take care about themselves and how are they becoming a problem for us which was an additional burden for us to take out, apart from our personal lives.

We had everything good career and great hobbies and good friends and only thing that missed which we never identified and then there was thunder and even she was having same weather conditions as we are separated by only 121 kms and she is very near to beach and I am just 121 kms far from beach. There was a cyclone which was steady from last few days and our hearts are also racing vaguely all around in this world in an attempt to find the shore as like the cyclone which is now gaining it’s strength and we are going to have wet days, and few areas sub merged in water due to heavy raining.

But, our hearts already merged with water of peace that is made of loneliness, and we were carving greatly for the soul which we had once to share the feelings the daily things that we did. Now whose availability is only on telephone which though is a relief for us, like a break in continuous raining and a shining sun from the clouds. But the silver line was rare and we never had the feeling of joy again.

Now, as we were talking we suddenly felt so empty that we haven’t got words and which never happened, and its the scariest and agonistic and emotional. Suddenly there was a power cut that left me in pitch darkness where I was able to hear the breezes of cold air in mid night and rain is getting thicker and I was forced to listen only to words of her steady breathing.

First I was afraid of her condition and suddenly the silence was broken when I asked her “ r u there?” then I heard only one word u can call it as a sound of simple” hmmm” which came in so slowly that I felt that there is uninterruptable flow of feelings that can’t be stopped by anything in this world.

Now the curtains rose up now wind was whirling and it was no smoother, there was no relief in having those breezes touching your face. Now she spoke, the first words that came from her mouth were which were from heart actually the deep feelings of care, affection, possessiveness, love and in the last lust. She said “I met you very early in my life”, [there was a pause] while I was listening in the pitch darkness where I can now hear the only the heavy down pour of rain, then she spoke again” and I was unaware that you had such an impact in my life without you………… “she stopped now. I can hear here heavy breathing that was due to sorrow-ness or might be she is weeping, suddenly I felt the chillness and my pulse is growing high, and I felt the same feeling growing inside me and she started it and she broke the barrier.

Now the silence and lifelessness are vanishing and I told her to cut the phone, she was stunned, she was scared to hell because that she might have lost the close person of her life. As I said she cut her phone.

As I cut the phone I was in a hurry, suddenly some one was pushing me, some thing was dragging me so hard and I was happy that something great is going to happen in my life. It was now 1.30 and I can’t rush for a train or bus station to grab the next one to reach her. As I was a bachelor I stayed in a room that accommodated only two people.

Our owners were very graceful though they are sometimes icky. But, nothing came into my mind now. So I woke them up and asked them to lend their two-wheeler now the wind was whooing and i weren’t even able to see hardly ten meters that was the down pour impact on our streets. Our owners first stunned and for such a rare request from a guy next door who got good track record they didn’t refuse to lend me the TVS XL of 1996 model.

By the time they were out of their sleepiness, I hit the road and I was riding a moped which got only 23 kms mileage and I had only five hundred with me. So I took the moped andloaded it with fuel. Now I started my journey towards Chennai, where my close friend stays and whom turned into my better half in a rainy night I seldom cared about my last internal and I had a cap which didn’t even help me to stop the rain seeping into my clothes and drenching me.

She tried several times to reach me, but I didn’t attend her phone and the moped is running 35 to 40 kms per hour which is it’s highest speed recorded ever on our owner’s moped. With such a speed it took me three and half an hour to reach Chennai from vellore. And I was fat so it was very much inconvenient for me to ride for that much time on such small seat.

And it was around five I was at her hostel, she was sleepy and scared about me like how a mother cares for a child in a similar way she was also scared and was angry as I didn’t lift my phone. The greatness of Chennai is what ever might be the situation the city lives it’s own life. So, I was able to grab five roses of all colors as now it wasn’t lust or love or care or possessiveness or friendship. It was pure and divine to indicate that I got almost all colors available in those five roses one was dark red, yellow, orange, white, and last one a strange color which I used to hear but now I found, which was a black rose. And a old lady sold these roses to me and she was laughing.

With those things in my hand and I in from of he she came slowly as she have to take permission of warden to come out and I stood beside my moped. She was totally messed up her eyes were swollen because of being awake and weeping. She came slowly and she was tender and we were there and it was now the slow raising sun the silver lining which we wanted is coming up slowly, and the cyclone sub sided it seems there was no down pour only weak drizzling. The street was echoing with “Jalsa” which was one of the hit songs from Chennai-600 028.

Our eyes spoke everything and actually there was nothing to say, no words were needed, now we just hug each other and wept. Till this date I don’t understand why we wept. And she asked me for a ride and we went to beach which was just 10 min far away from her place. We walked in sand and stood at a point and saw the sun raising and asked god to freeze time.

And we freezed those moments in our memories and it was getting brighter and shiny and we came back to her hostel she changed fro her night ware to normal dress and we booked a taxi as she was employing after her graduation while I went for masters she had amount to spare the taxi and we kept the moped n the taxi and we both slipped into taxi and started our journey to Vellore, to finish my last internal of life, in the arms of my dear partner and we both cuddled into each other arms and slept when we reached I was energetic and was ready to write the exam.

And she was happy to drop me at exam hall and she started to roam the campus and I was no more eager to, to meet her she was with me and with that I finished my exam as soon as possible and came out and went to our fav spot in campus where ewe used to drink coffee and had the same coffee amid of the new crowd of teenagers, budding engineers.

And we chatted and we departed with the feeling of fullness and later we bought that moped when I was vacating the house and we both lived happily ever after in Chennai
Hat’s off to TVS mopeds.
