One Beautiful Promise

*Fictitious* 

          It was Saturday I was alone at my place my mom luckily went to visit my granny as she was not doing well. I was waiting for the clock to strike 2 as someone special, the girl I admired, I liked, I loved was coming to meet me... for the last time... Yes for the last time...
It has been 7 years since I loved her... since I saw her for the first time... in my school... I still remember those beautiful eyes, her smile, her flicks that kissed her cheeks every now and then and the way she use to put them behind her left ear. It was Bliss for me then and even now. But unfortunately it was all going to end today...

Why does this happen...??? You try to forget someone but apparently you end up loving them even more... May be that's what you call 'Love' or maybe 'True Love' as they say it... And I am saying all this from my experiences and not just any random philosophical thoughts... "Experience always wins over Philosophy" I say it most of the time and its true too, I believe.

Clock was counting its last minutes to make it 2 pm... and with every minute passing my heartbeat was increasing just like India's population and Inflation... My hands were sweating like hell. This happened to me every time I met her... The time I use to wait for her was directly proportional to amount of nervousness I use to hold. Trust me if anyone would stand by me, he could have easily count my heartbeats, they were that fucking loud.
So... it was 2 and she was late as always... But this time just 5 minutes late... Yes! She was there in front of me, I saw her walking towards my house and in no time she was standing right in front of me... I kept looking at her, I couldn't utter a word. She was waiting for me to let her in but I was already in her dreams. (At times day dreaming is awesome, try it someday)

She looked so gorgeous... so so beautiful. Her beautiful eyes, Kohl eyes I would  say that... Her smile that killed me every time I saw it. She wore a pink Kurti that ended at her knees and black jean. I always liked her in Kurti and jeans and I was glad that she wore it that day. The last day that I would be seeing her.
I came back to the real world as soon as she hit me hard on my left arm.

"Ohh sorry...!!! Please... Please... Come in dear...! Am so sorry to keep you waiting..." I said. I was embarrassed. She smiled and killed me again, I swear.

"Its OK..." she said and giggled.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked with a smile.

"Haha I have never seen someone...so mad in love and... Why in the world do you love me so much?" She killed me twice in minute.

This question was still a mystery for me too... I had no clue why I loved her, and how much I loved her.. all I knew was: I LOVED HER... She use to drive me crazy.

I answered, as I always did: I smiled.

"So why you wanted to meet at my place? We were suppose to meet at CCD right? So.. why this sudden change in the plan?" I fired all the questions together.

"Well, promises are meant to be kept... I had once promised you, that one day i'll surely dance with you... 'Close Dance' " She said and winked.

"Oh! Now that is something I wasn't expecting... I remember I had asked you and you had promised me..." I smiled and continued "Thank you"

"Its OK, its just a dance and as its our last meeting so I thought why not make it special" She said.

Now I just don't understand this thing if you don't love me... Why the hell you want our last meeting to be special? I mean why? She was so difficult to understand.

"That sounds nice..." I said and moved towards my kitchen to make some coffee for both of us. As I entered the kitchen, in no time, she was standing right next to me.

"Let me see how do you make that special coffee of yours..." She said and kept her elbow on my right shoulder. She always liked the coffee I use to make for her and every time she asked me "How do you make  it?" I always replied "Its a secret... Special coffee for Special people and in a special mug" I had this Nescafe mug which had Deepika's autograph embossed on it... I never use to let anyone use that mug of mine but as said she was 'Special'.

So now it was time to keep up the promise. I played one of my favorite song 'Hero' by Enrique and coincidentally  it was her favorite too, so , we decided to dance on that track. This was the first time I came close to her, like very close. My hands on her waist, her hands on my shoulders, our eyes staring, she smiled and I smiled back and felt as if all my senses are about to die, I was about to die... Music started.... Our bodies moved... I could feel her breath, the warmth of her body, her eyes that were more addictive than any drug in this world... her lips so beautiful ; So beautiful that 'Kissing her would be the end of the world'... (I being a filmy guy always used movie dialogues quite often) They(Her lips) were perfect as if god has carved them by himself and would call it as his masterpiece.

It was the best moment of my life, which I would never ever get again. I was loving every second, every bit of it... Every move was perfect, like we have been practicing since ages. What happened next was surprising... I would have never thought it would happen to me. She came even more close to me and hugged me. 'I felt like the king of the world' I wanted that moment to stop then and there itself. I wanted to hold her tight, embrace her, lover her, admire her, kiss her... Yes! Kiss her.

I moved my hand upwards... my hands moved slowly from her waist to her back and yes I completed the hug. She was in my arms, I had my dream, my love in my arms I would have cried out of happiness I was that happy... We both hugged each other tightly and our feet kept moving on the tune... The music stopped we stopped, I was getting in my senses again but there was something more waiting for me that day... I tried to leave her but she did not.

"Don't leave me... Never ever... I feel safe in your arms... I feel complete..." She said while she was still holding me and even more tightly now.

"I wont ever leave you sweetheart... Never ever... But... " There was this ecstatic feeling I had. I was waiting for this moment from the very first moment I had seen her. But why now? when everything was about to get over... This was suppose to our last meeting... So why now? I had so many questions I wanted to ask but chose to do otherwise.

"But what???" She asked.

"But this is our last meeting right? " I questioned her and probably my last question. What she said next was unbelievable.

"No this isn't our last meeting, in fact, this is our first as lovers" She whispered in my ears and continued... "I love you" and she looked at me.

We both were facing each other, eyes stuck, we could feel each others breath, I was holding her, my hands on her back, I pulled her towards me, she tied her hands around my neck and we 'Kissed', it was perfect and as usual I had to bring out the filmy part of mine... I said "The girl doesn't know anything about kissing as its a man's business" she smiled and we kissed again this time it was me who took the initiative. It was the best first kiss actually second.

It feels great when the person whom you love, loves you back... I was on cloud nine. Neither of us wanted to move away. We stood there holding each other, kissing each other, embracing each other... We both felt complete, secured and madly in love. Our hands moving from faces to shoulders than on faces again...

"I am reborn today" She said, her eyes confused whether to look into my eyes or lips.

"If you are reborn, you should be naked" I said and smiled, she kissed me and replied.

"You can have me than..."

"Can I ?" I asked.

"You can have me anytime" She kissed me again this time more passionately.

The above lines were from movie Casino Royale. We had once said this to each other just for fun but this time it was serious. Never thought this would be real.

"I would never do anything that is against your conscience" I said and smiled.

"I love you even more after this..." She said and kissed my right cheek. "So lets keep something for later..." She winked.

"Yes! " I giggled.

"I am glad you kept the promise and I must say this was the most beautiful promise ever." I said holding her hand.

I was in love, she was in love... and when you are in love its the worlds best feeling.
We sat in each others arms that whole evening talking about us... until there was a knock at the door, it was my mom. She(My love) than left after sometime we hugged and waved good bye. But she left many things behind at my place... The memories, her Love, the best day of my life and one ear to ear smile on my face...!

Later that night, all I could think of was that 'Beautiful Promise' that 'One Beautiful Promise'
