Jillunu oru Coffee :)

Itz one of those perfect evening!

Dark clouds hovered above me covering the thinnest ray of light that tried to pierce its way out to the earth .....Birds went chirpin n flyin around me with a sense of urgency......In a way i envied those tiny creatures a lot....they happily fly without a care....always in groups...with none feelin lonely or missed.... they stay together....with the vast space at their disposal....they seemed to live every moment of their lives ....

A gentle cool breeze graced me bringing along the unique smell of earth.... boy..i luv it sooooo muchhh....our mother earth does remind us that earthz still has that sweetness left in it inspite of all the dirt shed by the ignorant sapiens.... I took a deeep longg breath.....and felt the earthly love all over me... I luvd it so mucchhh........

A tiny drop of rain..... with the mighty force of gravity n acceleration....hit hard on my head....i looked above to see more of those tiny missiles....attackin me..... i allowed them to land on my face happily..... a sense of happiness filled me....i felt light... refreshin.....i stood there with my arms wide open ......getting myself drenched....

"Thambi...mazhai kottuthu....ulla vaa paa.." nair....from the nearby T-shop was shouting at me....I smiled...and went....in...

"Nair....soooda oru T"

"Enne Thambi ithu velaiyaatu.....chinna pulla maathri....sari eppo pola special T thaaane..."

"Athethaan...Bajji soooda irukaa nair.."

I smelt cofeeee....

"Sir....Herez your tall... low fat...no whip....extra hot...cinnamon less....mocha..."

Huh...."Thank you ..."

I woke up to realize...that i'm sittin in caribou...one of the famous american coffee shops...up north....with my laptop on the desk.....It was raining outside!

"Can I have a peanut-butter cookie plzzz...?"

Thoughts . . .

"Sammy.. don't let mom get even an hint abt this...Keep this with yourself"

Danny hooked the phone, as the tears tried to push its way out of his eyes...

He succeeded in keeping the tears out...but couldn't get rid of the heaviness he felt in his heart...

The thought of how his mom would feel if she came to know about what happened to him...choked him to the core....

"Sam.... whoz on the phone dear?"

"My frend mom...." he lied...

He hated lying to his mom...he knew that one day he would tell the truth to his mom ...he cant keep it for long...the guilt would kill him...even it is a petty lie...

It was dinner time, and this is when sam and his mom used to have long chats about the things that happend during the day..... sam wanted to quickly finish and get back to bed... he was afraid that he might tell the news about danny to his mom.....

"So how was your day sam...."

"Oh..it went good mom...had a bit of rough time @ work...but was ok...and haan...i met prithiv...in office ....was surprised to c him @ my office....he joined last week it seems....."

"oh thatz nice.... u got good company....now " his mom smiled...

"S mom.....felt nice to c him there...u remember..he was struggling to get a job a few years back...and you kept on praying for him.... he still remembers that ....he wanted to come and meet you mom..."

"well....its god's grace sam.... " her face drooped as she told this and soon she was lost in thoughts....

"Mom? are you okay? " ....before he could get an answer from her...tears came rolling down....

"What happend mom....?

"Sam...i spoke with....danny's friend rajiv....today..he has come here on vacation.....danny's lost his job again sam.... he got fired from his office for no mistake of his.... it hurts a lot to see him struggle this much in life.... " she controlled her tone....

"well...yes itz all god's will and we got to accept that everything that happens has some good thing in it...." ....she comforted herself by these words...

Sam was stunned to know that his mom already knew the news....danny has been finding difficult to get settled in life...he has been shifting over half a dozens concerns in the past 16 months.... nothing has worked well for him....

All the time when he called up home...he would sound very happy n he wanted to keep his mom happy at all times....he never told or complained abt the struggles, bad things that happened to him...

Sam knows them all....Sam was more than a brother...he was his closet companion ....he was the one with whom he shared everything.

Danny's words were ringing in sammy's ears.....sam didn't know whether he should tell his mom that he knew it already....

"Sammy dear.. don't ask danny about this or let him get even an hint that i know this...Keep this with yourself ...he can't digest the fact that i know...i dont want to add on to my child's struggles there in the alien land..."

With tears... he nodded, "Sure...mom!"

Eternal Kiss

She was lying there ... wrinkles on her face didn't deter her beauty...he stood motionless...his eyes were locked on her....her face was shining like never before...

3 Months Back ....

He held her hand firmly...those hands were shakin... they both exchanged diamond rings for the second time in their life...There was no one in the crowd who didn't envy this wonderful couple.
It was their golden anniversary...
When it was time to retire for the day, they held their hands together, thanked the almighty. He placed his old palms on her wrinkly cheeks... kissed her right on her forehead... gently!
Good night Sweet Heart

25 Years Back....

It was 10 AM , her phone rang... she was shellshocked on hearing the news...He met with an accident...she rushed to the hospital... minutes were moving like leap years...she choked to the core...not a soul on earth could console her...12 hours passed...she was sitting on his side...holding his hand...his whole body not movin an inch.... she felt a sudden vibe...he jerked a bit...his heavy eyelids...not allowing to see her eyes... yet she could read his eyes...she Knew...
she bent and placed her forehead on his lips.... A smile which only she cud see n feel eloped him....that conveyed lotss...his heart echoed...
Good Night Sweet Heart

48 Years Back....

He couldn't see her cry in pain....he felt more pain in his heart.... he couldn't control.....he turned to look through the window..tears rolling down his cheeks.. The moon was shining down gracefully.... He was cursing God.
She gave one long cry...which made an angel cry....she gave birth to a beautiful...baby girl.... He took his little angel...and showed it to her.... she looked, smiled and slept off.. He placed his little angel on the cradle and with tears still rolling down, he kissed her....

Good night Sweet Heart

50 Years back....

It was the first night for them... his angel came in...she looked divine....he gently held her hand ..her beautiful eyes...gleaming ...Together...they took the sarced vows once again... they were one.... he held her tender cheeks on his hands... she closed her eyes as he bent .... He placed a gentle, firm kiss on her forehead,
assuring the love, support, trust - foundation of a life, together n always
She felt it..He whispered

Good Night Sweet Heart

Today ...

She was lying there ... wrinkles on her face didn't deter her beauty...he stood motionless...his eyes were locked on her....her face was shining like never before...

He knelt down... bent...and kissed her on her forehead...
That wasn't the last, It was Eternal!
They nailed the coffin....

Good Night Sweet Heart
He Cried Aloud!
