"Serendipity" - 4


**********************
Part - 4
**********************

First time after so many years he was humming a song. He was like a energetic young guy with a smile on a face, in love with someone and out for the date, first time ever. He was behaving like never before it did astonished many ones around him but for him it was like same day when he was out with her first time in college days.

"That was a rainy day and he was waiting near the far end of her home on his bike. She came little late, she smiled, waving hand to him and her eye blinked couple of time like saying sorry silently. He dissolved in the beauty of her, all his anger melted down when he looked in her eyes. He looked her from top to bottom escaping her eyes, His heartbeats got faster. He still remember that kurti color which she had wore. It started raining when they were on their way for the first date, they didn't stopped, they wanted to be together, to feel each drop of rain together. Each drop of the rain crashed against his body like wet needles and splash into a thousands tiny droplets. She dripped off his wet hair with her tiny finger. She flow down his face and dissolve a part of his into her. He wanted her so badly at that moment, he realized it today. And it is she again, bringing him back to what he is, which he had forgotten many years ago"

He still remember the streaks of lightning sound like making a way for them down to earth. Dark clouds of that day vanished from the sky today but still they are looking at him like they were looking at them that day.

"Do you pity me? Don't look at me like that" he murmured while looking at the sky.

She was getting ready for the day, it was same weekend for her but she was feeling something different today. She is accentuate on her looks today. She was wearing kurti. she was feeling a lighter as after many days they were going out. "It will help me to divert my mind for someday", she thought. But there was some shift in her behavior, she was smiling more, she was looking more beautiful, she was feeling younger. She remembered a word "Complete Package" he has given to her while looking herself into mirror, she just smiled.

They reached to the shopping mall. It was a well developed multi branded shopping mall having all the latest brands outlet and children gaming zone. "Moma, i want to play games and i want to have icecream also" her boy startled. "Not now", she ignored.

As this was their first visit to that mall, she wanted to roam around, to throw herself to each store like teenaged girl, same she used to do in her college days with him. But guys were having different idea. Her husband and child excused to her and went straight to the gaming zone and having their own fun. But she was missing some company today while roaming around the mall. She knew, whom she is missing.

He was sitting just outside the gaming zone in cafeteria and watching young children playing games. He always have fond of young children and he enjoys watching them playing.

Her husband was busy in playing games meanwhile her child somehow managed to escape him and was adoring ice creams near cafeteria. He saw this child and his eyes were glued on him.

He got attracted to that child. His face looks familiar with the face he see every night before sleeping. He couldn't able to stop himself and he got up and walked towards that boy. He stopped near that boy, and he realized boy's face looks like her face. He spoke with that boy and bought ice cream for him. He hugged that boy and left the cafeteria. But his eye's were following boy till that boy reached to his dad again. The ray of hope ignited just before comes to an end but he was feeling something different today. He was sensing something different going to happen today. He just looked around every where one more time. He did not found anyone.

Her husband was asking about that person to his child but he didn't bothered about much and they went near her in one of the outlet. Her child was telling about that unknown man to her and was describing him. Round long face, long hair, pointed nose, medium built, etc while listening that she started to imagine "him". She looked around one more time to find someone like him but she did not found anyone.

While going out from the mall his eyes again trace to that child but this time child was with someone. she was wearing same color kurti, almost same kurti which she was wear on their first date.

His legs got tumbled, he found goose bum's all round his body. same height, same visual aspect, same body, same hair style, same fragrance, he just stopped over their, he was not able to see anything around him except her. His vision became blurred, "his eyes were filled with tears" He realized. A drop of a tear fall from the corner of the eyes, on his cheek and touching his lips. For the moment he closed his eyes.
