14 February – A Special Day!

Sitting in the corner of a computer lab next to a window, a pounding heart and longing eyes were looking at the entrance every other minute for someone’s arrival… He hasn’t been at the Computer Institute for the past two days as he had to help his hospitalized Dad and Granddad.

Will he come today? It’s a special day…

I know he adores me and loves being with me. I am uncertain if I love him, but I like being with him. We are very good friends and he is very special to me. He makes me feel special, unique, and happy when he is around.

Where will he be now? Will he be thinking of me as I do of him on this special day? A slide show of questions was flashing through my mind… But deep down in my heart, I knew he would be here and would not miss being with me today…

Every time someone opened the door, I was hoping it would be him but in vain.

After about an hour, the door opened and I had butterflies in my stomach, I knew it is him (My Telepathy).

There he entered, wearing my most favorite blue checked shirt. No one in the world is as handsome as him. His eyes went around the room searching for me and when our eyes met, he threw his best beautiful smile for which I fell then and forever.

He sat next to me and asked “Did you expect me?”. I was mesmerized by his presence and went in silence.

He said, “I have only thirty minutes and cannot miss being here with you”. My heart was dancing to its own music knowing I was important to him and he is thinking of me, and he wanted to be with me for the only few minutes he had got.

We did not speak further, but so much was going through our minds and, our hearts did speak a lot in spite of the silence. He left in ten minutes, but those ten minutes were the most precious time of my life and assured me of the love he had for me.

And here today, 22 years since our first St. Valentine’s Day, we are together as husband and wife. Nothing has changed. My heart still pounds for him, my eyes still long for him and, he still makes me feel special, unique and happy when he is around… It does not matter how many more years pass by, our love grows stronger and the feeling gets deeper…

Where there is Love, there is Life!
