PRIVATE MOMENT : a tale of love

U**** has just turn 23. It was his birthday today celebrating with his family along with some of his special friends. One of them was his friend from college, his secret love, S******. It has been long him trying to tell her his hearty feelings but he didn't got chance for that. So he was planning to make it today. They were celebrating a very pleasant time together. He wanted to make this celebration even more important day of his life.

It has been over three hours of celebration by 2200 hours when guest one by one left the place. S****** was just about to cross the gate of U****’s house when suddenly U**** called her name. He asked her to just wait for a moment. Her friends were in a bit hurry since it was late already. So they left her behind.

As it was taking long for U**** to get back, S****** went inside to see what he is doing. There she saw him packing something. She asked him, “What is it U****, make it fast. Its too late already and my friends have left already. Now I will have to walk that long way alone.” By then U**** finished the packing, gave that to her and said, “open it only as you reach home.” Just then U****'s mother came there. When she saw S****** still there asked, "Haven't you yet left beta." and said, "its too late. You should not go by yourself at this time. and asked me to drop her home. That adds pleasure to him. But S****** spoke, "No no aunty, its ok. I can go by myself." But U****'s mother insisted and S****** got ready to leave with him. That was more of what he wanted.

It was a cold night of December. Road was almost empty instead of some barking dogs. There were street lamps glowing after some interval. They started walking with a silence. U**** say S****** trying to warm her arms by rubbing her hands in that cold night. He asked for a minute to her and started running to his home. She asked, "What now?" "Just a minute, wait for me." he said and went away. She was standing under the street lamp, alone trying to warn herself. She decided to went on going and moved a bit ahead.

As she went on going, silence went on going deeper, it was getting darker and fear was rising inside her. She felt as someone behind her but when she looked back, it was only cold air blowing. She was feeling even more cold of this. Fear was taking over her. She was praying if anyone could help. Just then U**** came there with his mother's shawl in his hand. She felt as she really has found God. He offered her that shawl which gave her the warmth she needed. And then her fear was gone away. She was happy to have company. But they were not speaking to each other and silence went on going with them all the way.

As they went on going, now U**** was feeling cold. Now he was trying to warm himself. When S****** saw him suffering cold, she offered him to share the shawl. Without waiting for U****'s response, S****** come closer to him and spread the shawl such that it covers both of their body. Shawl was not enough for both of them but they adjusted. They were very close, so close that more than the shawl, their body heat was making them warm. Noone was able to speak even a word. They just kept on walking. For both of them that was the pleasure of lifetime. That was something they ever needed. That was light to their life, that was light to their romance.

The romance broke as they reached her home. She rang the bell to her house. Soon someone came and opened door for her, when U**** was just behind her standing still. She looked back, said bye and went inside closing the door. He was unhappy as that was now time to be parted, the pleasure of his lifetime has finished. He with his head bent down started waking back. As he was walking back he heard an window opening. He looked back, that was her in the window looking at him with a smile in her face and the gift he gave her in her hand. She looked emotional. He smiled, wave his hand for bye and got lost in dark with joy and went away.

The End
