THE SILENCE SPOKE!

I never thought this would happen again.I did not even dream of it!!!Cause it pains a lot when you know,you are dreaming a thing……that you are sure can never turn into reality!! I thought it was all over.

But once again,I walked…his hand holding mine with a firm grip,on the ‘last met’ road.It seemed to be wet,indicating the rain that had bid bye few minutes ago.The same road was wet the last time we met,sorry the last time we decided to part,not of the rain but of my tears.
                                                                                         The forceful raindrops had made the flowers lie unconscious on the road which started to wake up one by one on hearing our soft footsteps.Even the chill breeze that touched both of us seemed noisier due to our silence.The silence invoked many questions in my mind,as we took each step….

How on earth he turned up again?Has he realized how much I mean to him? And why it took him 3 years to realize?Does he believe that I’m still waiting for him with the unceasing love? Why is he not speaking even a word?Alas where is he taking me in such a fast pace?But what happened to the promise he made that we should be friends forever?If he wants to marry right now at any cost,how to convince my parents AGAIN?

With all these unasked questions I looked into his face with moist eyed,his face stern,tensed,sweaty despite the breeze,looking straight onto the road,determined not to look at me.I understood his anxiety and did not disturb his comfort zone.The joy inside me that was once dead 3 years ago slowly got its form and started to raise from its tomb,totally unimaginable.I immediately felt a jerk,as a surge of current passed through my numb muscles giving a new energy.Now I walked equal to his pace,making his effort of pulling me at ease.

The slow detachment of his hand from mine,and much slower steps indicated the destination that I expected.The 5 minutes tight-lipped walk that spoke millions of words,that was a rebirth to my soul,my spirit,my thoughts,my love…and my life,stopped right at the Register office.

At once uncontrolled, I looked down to check my own attire,since an uninformed bride is not informed to the world!Though nothing can be done at the eleventh hour,the profound joy inside me patted on my shoulders saying”You are looking most beautiful,since you’re the most delighted one on earth now!”My tickled pink face reflected the flash of pink on my white robe.

I slowly raised my head,smiling so wide that my lips tend to tear,within seconds it started to shrink…as there he stood along with her,who was clutching his hand tight with an obvious bride’s attire!!

Witness Signature-----“Am I the witness for my own death??”……One more unasked question of the crushed heart.
