A serene feeling – which grips every heart, sometime, someday; the aura of which slides along the jugular vein; increasing the velocity of flowing emotions concentrated at a particular direction; due to which the whole world seems beautiful, is - the chimerical LOVE. No sarcasm, no irony. The following lines are all about a small statement. Read along to check it out.
You must have come across atleast one Affair D’amour in your life. One such story was with our Miss. Disappointed (Ms. D). Falling in love is easy, keeping it is all that matters. Ms. D, sitting near a window, in the memory of her beloved(who left her midway), wrote on a piece of paper that sentence which had changed her life then – “I LOVE YOU”. The memoirs flashed in front of her sobbing eyes like a camera roll, tears rolled down her cheeks, and eyes finally gave up blinking settling down calmly. Ms. D fell sound asleep. The air outside had some other purport that Saturday night. The wind came in like a careless whisper, took the parch of paper along with it, kissing Ms. D cold. This parch of paper flows across many lives. How it embraces different souls, follows next.
The paper reaches a children’s park and lands on a playing swing the following Sunday morning. A kid rests his hand on it and gazes at it. No idea as to what’s written, bothers least, his playful heart remains untouched by the most powerful emotion of this universe. Unknowingly, he tucks it in his pocket and forgets.
One – Done!
The paper finds itself in the hands, which have a daily feast with water and detergent. The maid at the boy’s place ignores it as something extremely unimportant coz it’s completely non-understandable to her. Quite fair. Throws it away in the dustbin.
Two – Shoo!
Next Monday morning, the paper struggled itself to get out of the garbage and the gentle wind takes it to its next destination – a construction site. The toiling hands didn’t notice this bit of paper.
Three – lee!
The breeze flew it by the roadside on Tuesday. A school-going girl(teenager) sees it. Picks it up, reads it. Gets lost in the memory of her classmate whom she had a crush on. But the pensive exam makes her rush towards the bus-stop while the paper slips from her hand in dismay.
Four – sore!
The winking Wednesday finds the parch of paper among the creative people. A dance teacher, while coming to her class happens to put a glance over this paper. The written matter instigates a beautiful story in her mind. The mudras in combination with abhinaya put up a great show for her.
Five – Life!
The clever wind took the paper down the streets on the thundering Thursday. A lovely couple finds it nearby, however, it doesn’t get any attention as the two souls were already experiencing the magic of it.
Six – Fix!
The un-futuristic paper then reaches a table by which a beautiful girl was sitting deep in her thoughts. Her lonely heart had no effect of the three mesmerising words.
Seven – Raven!
The freaking Friday found its solitaire with a 75 year old heart along with the paper by a shore side. The old man, who was thinking of his better-half, was cajoled to rewind his happier times. He was wondering why she left him alone in this world 50 years back. Flashes of his entire life came in front of his eyes. Wished if she were alive. The settling sun indicated his leaving time. Giving his weak bones enough strength to carry his soul to the destination house, he grabbed the stick and strolled away, leaving the bit of paper aside.
Passing through so many genre of people, touching many hearts, alike, the small bit of paper with three whimsical words “I LOVE YOU” was lying beside the shore exactly one week later, same day. After some time, the note slipped into water...got wet.....
Love is everywhere. The essence is felt every moment. Just it needs is – a pure heart to feel it and a pure mind to spread it.
