One fine morning, I was driving on a lonely road going towards Delhi from Noida. I think I was engrossed in my own thoughts and memories of my past relationship, when suddenly out of the blue I saw him… through my rear view mirror!
I felt as if a zillion watts just passed through my spine… I wanted to wave to him… it had been more than 3 months since we last saw each other… as he termed it, it was supposed to be a ‘mutual agreement’ of not being in touch!
I completely respected his decision and decided not to get weak this time… and this time when I saw him I felt like going back to memory lane. Our cars came to a halt at a traffic signal. I had the feeling of nervousness which felt so familiar. For the first time in my life I guess I wanted the traffic signal to not turn green. I just wanted to see him though my rear view mirror… just a glance which I could capture for some more time.
Anyways as it was supposed to be the traffic signal turned green and we started moving… this time his car was right parallel to mine and I honked once hoping that he would take notice… but he didn’t. I was hoping to catch another traffic signal and I think God was a bit too grateful to me that day, I stopped at the red light with his car parked right parallel to mine. He looked at me this time and waved… I so wanted to roll down my window and shout at the top of my voice… ‘Hey! Could we talk for a while?’… but I could not muster up the courage.
Our cars moved as the traffic signal turned green again and soon after he disappeared into space… I finished off my work and on the way back this time I was so distracted while driving that I could not think about anything but him… I was taken into a world of nostalgia and I just didn’t want this to come to an end.
Coincidentally, on one such more occasion I saw him though my rear view mirror… I thought I must be hallucinating… but when I looked closely the car felt familiar, it just looked like him and the number plate looked familiar too… and this time again… it was him!
I was thrilled but the excitement I had the first time was not there anymore…
I always used to tell him that one day I would write a book about my experiences in life and would definitely devote one chapter to him… although this is no book… but I think its worth the time invested to start my blog with a person who has always been so important to me!
(P.S. - this a work of my imagination influenced by my experiences)
