I've been terribly delayed in writing this piece. Actually an entire month, to be precise.
Guys may be supposed to be bad with dates and all, but I for sure cannot forget the day my life changed for the better, forever. When everything I was hoping & praying for just magically fell in place, in a manner much better than I had ever envisaged. The day when coffee @ the Cafe Coffee Day tasted better than it ever has.
That evening, she was someone was I so eagerly looking forward to meet. We had spoken for hours at end on the phone, typed away relentlessly on gtalk, twiddled our thumbs composing SMS smileys almost every single day, and in the process, traversed an emotional journey that perhaps neither of us thought we would undertake in such fashion. But then life had other ideas.
Sure there were flashes of logical realization along the way - was this the right this to do?Without even having met each other once? What about practicality?
But somehow, the questions didn't last for too long. Before we knew it, we were back on the phone. Day by day, one conversation after another, we were comfortably seeping into each others' lives.
As time passed, the questions got more serious - what IF this is not it? How much baggage have we accumulated over four months for us to be able to shed that and move on, as we are supposed to? Are there any "wise" answers to such questions? Isn't this what is called behaving immaturely? Again, there was something that was keeping us both in it. Something that kept us hooked on. What, we really didn't know.
And then finally, as they say, the right time came. We met. And it was as if we had known each other forever. There was no apprehension, the body language was super comfortable. It was like two long lost friends catching up. Could totally relate to each other. Meeting each other in person had turned out to be more wonderful than we could have ever thought.
Today, we are such indispensable parts of each others' lives that it seems weird to think of a life without each other, whenever it existed.
It was evening of the 9th of March when Renu and I first met. When the glint in our eyes and the smile on our lips just said it all. To think of it, neither of us really popped the big question. Both of us just knew that we were always meant to be together.
Someone up there has hand-held us all the way through and here we were are, so eagerly looking forward to share our the rest of our lives with each other. Thank you sooo very much - it really couldn't have been scripted better.
Serendipity now has a new meaning.
