Chapter 1
Their first encounter was telephonic, not that romantic to
start with, but in those days having an uninterrupted convention, even on a
phone was a blessing.
In the back drop “Love Bites” on a conventional music system was being played,
a mesmerizing voice from the other side said ‘Hello’ and it was replied after a
while with the same level of simplicity. They started to talk, nothing much,
may be they connected or disconnected only the angels or cupid knew, but they
say simple encounters seldom have far fledged result, maybe it was a beginning.
The call ended without much of a promise, but they both were happy inside,
hence a long drive was merited alone with loud music across the country side!
The week passed by quickly but deep down inside it felt like a rebirth, an
awakening, life started looking beautiful and purposeful for them, they had
hopped on to something new, which surrounded their existence, something in
their blood, which kept both of them engrossed within this experience.
Their only lifeline was a phone; they didn’t meet for around a year, their
story was complex, nobody knew what kept them together, but their destiny was
already written, they had to be together, made for each other. They had to sing
the carol of Eternity, one day !
Autumn turned into winter and then summer came, their virtual contact enhanced,
both believed in each other, had faith, but they had never meet, never seen
each other, was a little strange, being in the same town with common friends.
It was like a fairy tale, wherein a lot was hidden and the apparent seemed
permissible and within the norms of purity. It was all happening slowly and had
an essence of perfection.
The two young ones blossomed with fragrance that purified their soul and
believe for each other’s loyalty.
The day they met, it should have been an ending, as all was revealed, but their
souls made a beginning, they both cried, holding hands and sung the carol for
eternity.
