Love at first sight

A Story by aneeqa

a real life experience

On that sunny noon, the city felt like a radiant piece of art with its gold �"yellow color. I kept on rolling my eyes from right to left, twirling my wet hair while being driven to the academy. While my eyes rested on my lap, vague ideas of how to capture organic chemistry inside this brain of mine made me feel frustrated along with that uncomfortable seat of that old jeep. Flushing all those thoughts of exasperation with the sweat of my face, I rather chose to stare at faces, passing by the jeep.

Within a flash of this slippery time, my eyes landed on that face. Neither they moved nor did they flick. The face started to make an impression on my heart with the quill of its sea green eyes, quite convex. That small bulbous nose and chubby flushing cheeks, hanging just below the eyes carried me away from I was. The wool cap worn till forehead, covering those small soft ears with that tiny chin between the cheeks was so beautiful to look at. Most catchy of all those features was that small opening before the chin which is called mouth with the little tongue licking its pinkish lips. Those little hands and feet, jutted out of that tiny yellow dress, with fingers curled up, widened my eyes. Suddenly, I realized that I had fallen in love at first sight with the baby, sitting in the lap of a woman, in that qingqi, before the jeep.

Gloom took over my heart, when my driver took a turn and all the magic vanished. I will never see that face again was quite saddening to me yet my heart had some happiness that I saw such a beautiful baby. This face will remain in my heart as the sight of beauty of nature. Finally, I was at the door of the academy and frustration took over me all over again.

This is great. I've actually written something similar about a girl on a bus, which is more romantic (and probably slightly creepy), but the point stays the same. That fleeting connection, something beautiful that comes and goes and a moment you can't have back, but which can stick with you and remind you of a pure and positive feeling. I might publish my story here, even though it's not new. I love the way this reads and creates that scene, the way your spirits were briefly lifted by something so simple.
