The SPECIAL DAY


It was a day as ordinary as any other day. 

I didn't had any idea that it would become the most special day of my life. 

I was casually walking down the road with earphones on to avoid the rest of the world. 

The only objective was to escape the reality. That was the moment when I first saw her. She was coming from the other end of the road with books in her hand. She was accompanied with a friend. 

The moment when I first saw her it was like violin playing in the background, with fog in the air. The way she was coming towards me felt to me that she was an angel sent from the heavens for me. 

The grace with which she carried herself, the innocence on her face made me fall for her. That moment I realised love at first sight is a possible phenomenon. I forgot I was walking on the road. 

It was just her. She saw me staring at her which would obviously had made her uncomfortable. Don't know why but she smiled at me. Damn that smiling face is something that I could still see whenever I close my eyes. 

The very first question that came to my mind "Who was SHE?". 

I didn't knew her at all. But wanted to know. Next day I waited for her on the same road at the same time. But she was nowhere to be found. Same thing repeated on the next day. 

I was disheartened. 

Few days passed with basically nothing happening. I even left the hope of seeing her ever again. My mind was sure that I was never going to see her again. But in my heart I knew I would meet her again.

One day when I returned home from my college, my mother told me that a guest is supposed to arrive that day. The guest was my mother's childhood friend. She had just shifted in our city with her family. 

The doorbell rang. I went to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, I was startled. 

An Angel, my Angel was standing there with an elderly lady. 

I was so awestruck that I was not able to speak a word. My mother came to my rescue, just in time, and welcomed our guests. I can still remember her dress. It was a beautiful blue and hue coloured dress. 

When they were seated and their conversation started I came to know her name. It was Afreen. 

I put together all my strength and tried my best to start a conversation. Well, it started a bit rough but then smoothened. It was the basic of petty talk but felt so good that I could have talked for hours and hours. But unfortunately we didn't had that much of time. Ultimately I was able to get her number. 

Next day I messaged her in WhatsApp. Again it started with petty talks. But soon enough Petty talks became more personal. We started sharing jokes. I came to know a lot about her and so did she. 

It was not long that I realised that the feelings could me mutual. Her way of talking to me. There was a touch of sincerity. Each and every word that came out of her mouth was like petals falling from the flowers during autumn.

One day I decided to open up about my feelings to her. And I did, nervously of course. 

But the moment she agreed that the feeling was really mutual made me believe in destiny. It was like we was made for each other. That was the moment when I decided that there is none who could replace her. My mind and soul now belongs to her. Now the only objective of my life was to be at her side for the rest of my life.
