Once again....

The evening was really special.

It was like everything around was just perfect. It was a lonely road to our home. Surprisingly lonely. The breeze was cool.... just the right amount of cool. The trees were rustling in the breeze occasionaly shedding some dried leaves. Birds chirping along adding to the symphony. And all made more perfect with her walking along my side.

I couldnt believe it was happening. It was just too good to be true.

Admist all this I realised she was talking about something. As usual I thought. I smiled. We had our backpacks on so maybe we were returning after a picnic or something. I couldnt assert on that. Dunno why. Maybe just walking with her was making me delirious.

"Why are u smiling like this?", she asked breaking her narrative.
"Huh?... Ohh... nothing.. " I couldnt come up with anything more intelligent.
"Hmph. Ignoring me as usual. Anyway.. as I was saying..." and she countinued.

She looked so bright today. Maybe it was the setting sun that was playing with the colors but there was an unoccasional aura. I thought of concentrating on her narrative as not to be ridiculed again. But suprisingly I coudlnt follow much of it. Thats wierd, I thought.

We seemed to be walking for like eternity when I saw my home ahead.
We had to part and it seemed to pull out my heart. I just didnt want to let her away from me. I saw the same thought in her eyes.
She wanted to say something. I knew it. I too didnt want to leave.
Bang! Bang! . A loud noise thundered.
"Sirjee.... room saaf karna hai kya?"
I opened my eyes to find the leaves of the fan rotating slowly above me.
I realised why it was so wonderful and weird.
"Nahiii... aaj nahi". i screamed without rising from my bed.

I closed my eyes again.

Sometimes dreams are so much more wonderful than reality.
I wanted to be with her again.... Once again...
