Two days later, Priya was back to work. Whenever she walked past the room where Raj stayed, her legs would freeze for a while and then would let her go. His smile, his eyes, his voice and his face kept flashing one after the other in her mind. She couldn't talk about this turmoil to her mom, as she is walking on a blind path and knows not where it is going to take her. She couldn't share her sorrows with her friends at work, because they are all already busy gossiping about her. She is too weak to cry in loneliness, either. It is going to be three days already, since she heard back from Raj. When she met him, she believed that her life is going to be a bed of roses, but she actually forgot that there were thorns too and she needs to deal with it!!
That evening, she was called at the front desk of the hospital. Priya went hesitatingly, but instantly went super happy when she found Raj waiting there.
“Hi Priya!”, said Raj with his signature smile.
Priya was already hypnotised. But, she composed herself and tried to look arrogant. Instead, she looked silly and cute.
“Why are you here, Raj? We have nothing to talk about”, replied Priya sternly.
“Hey! I have an appointment with the Doctor. Just a follow up”, said Raj, smiling cheekily.
Priya couldn't hide her disappointment and that could be clearly seen on her face.
“Oh ok! You should go to first floor. His consultation room will be at the end of the corridor, on your right”, said Priya in a low voice.
Raj couldn't control laughing.
“Hey Priya! What am I going to do by meeting that Doctor? It would have been nice if it was a female Doctor!! You know, I always wanted to marry a Doctor”
“Oh is it? What a splendid ambition!! You can find the list of female Doctors working here, on the board at the reception. Try your luck. Good bye!”, said Priya angrily and started to walk away. Damn! She was fuming in anger and this time for real.
“Hey stop Priya! Stop please!! I was just kidding"
Priya stopped and looked at him. Her eyes were full of pain and disappointment.
“Priya, you know I have changed my mind and decided to marry a nurse. It's ok! I can adjust”, said Raj and cheekily chuckled.
Priya stood there stunned. She wasn't angry but wasn't really happy. Her disappointment faded away but she wasn't excited either. She thought of grabbing his collar and probably...kiss him!!! C’mon she couldn't do it, as it is a public place.
Raj smiled at her. What a romantic flick was that!!! Priya too smiled back, and her lost blush could now be found on her cheeks.
Raj took her to the green stretch, near the waters. Priya looked prettier than ever before. Raj had only seen her in bland white uniform. But, she is now dazzling in her golden yellow ethnic suit. The dusk was heart throbbing for Raj with his beloved by his side. He did not speak a word, neither did Priya. The romantic hues were whirlpooling around them and their hearts spoke a million words. They looked at each other and admired, as if they were meeting after a million years. Their eyes collided and stayed so. Their hearts started to get heavier and heavier because of the overflowing love.
When eyes collide,
The hearts decide,
Your future is I
And that of mine is you!!
The flowing waters,
Singing sweet melody!
The birds and trees,
Are dancing in harmony!
The sun is shy,
He is hiding by!
The world awaits moon,
But I already own one!
Let's run to the sky,
Through the path of clouds
And run around mad
Collecting the stars!
Let's run beyond this earth!
Let's live beyond this life!
Let's love beyond the infinity!
Let's die beyond the eternity!!!
