Meant to be!
Tears rolled down her cheeks wetting her favorite beads bracelet, that was presented by him. It trickled further down to wet the tips of her hair, which she had let free as requested by him. From there it dripped to touch the soul of mother earth...
She looked through her teary eyes across the room. The curtains swayed endlessly covering up the day light.
Few more drops of tears came down her blemish less cheeks emphasizing her pain.
He had been there for her whenever she needed him or even more. He had made himself a part of her life even though they belonged to different sections of the society.
She was a professional dance teacher and interior designer. He in turn was a college drop out and was a travel blogger. Even their first meet was too very unexpected. They had met in a railway station; while he was getting off the train, she was boarding it.Just a glance and then it sparked! He instantly walked to her asked for her number for which she didn't even hesitate for a fraction of a second!
They knew that they were meant to be! From then on,life had taken them to places but love brought them back to each other.
They spoke to their parents about each other and convinced them in few minutes; their parents knew each other through a common friend. Their marriage dates were fixed on their second family meet and it was 2 months from then. One fine day, he informed them that he was planning to join his usual group of friends for a biking trip to Leh and Ladakh for which the family instantly refused. When he came to her, she was confused. But when he held her hands and assured that he would be back in ten days, she couldn't atop herself from letting him go!
Today was the 13th day and there had been no information from him for the past 2 days.
She wasn't very worried until she saw the news about a massive landslide in Leh.. The world came crashing on her and she blacked out.
Few hours later, when she opened her eyes,
All that she wanted to see was him;
All that she wanted to hear was his voice;
All that she wanted to sense was his touch!
But alas in vain!
She had spent the last 3 hours crying her lungs out in deadly silence.Slowly and steadily she sensed her senses fade away..
As she dozed off to the eternal sleep, the figure of him slowly and gracefully riding through the snow as it engulfs him completely, screened vaguely in her fading vision!
