Lesson no. 99


 Love at first sight..

The whole time I was packing my bags I just thinking bout him, dint know what to expect from that first moment I will look into his eyes. It was filling me with excitement and curiosity if I will still smile endlessly with his first glance. The journey was for nine hours but seemed like forever, it the first time in last one year that I wasn’t enjoying my travel. After 3 coffees, 2 bottles of water and one not so great dinner I finally landed. It was 12.00 at night and I was definitely not in a mood to wait any longer. But I still had two hurdles to cross to finally reach my destination and look into those brown eyes. The baggage section and immigration took good long time so as they were also testing my patience. Finally I hurdled towards the exit with the baggage in my hand and a huge baggage in my heart, waiting for that special someone to help me with both. And then  god heard me and I saw one guy waving at me and I couldn’t stop smiling at him. It took several seconds for my eyes to recognize him but my heart knew it was him and put this big smile on my face. I kept looking into those eyes all night and they reassured me in return ‘You are home’.

And I fell in love all over again…Love at first sight…

Lesson no.100

Sometimes two hands are not enough...

 

It was 7.00 in the morning and I was all set to go back to England after a fruitful visit to Frankfurt. I started walking the pebbled street outside my hostel with a suitcase in one hand, a handbag and bus tickets in the other. It was a very cold morning and the whole place was covered with foggy mist and I could see the faint headlights of the bus I was about to board. The cold wind was making my eyes water and I could feel cold drops rolling down my cheeks. Suddenly I saw a couple bidding goodbye on this rather empty station steps. They looked like one of those porcelain figures with the guy's hands cupping the girl's face and wiping her tears. And at that moment my heart froze. I wanted to stop and wipe my eyes, but my hands were too full. I wanted someone to stop me and tell me 'Its going to be alright, you won’t miss the bus, just stay for a while let me kiss you goodbye.' 

But I was alone with not even a soul near me to warm my heart and I realised that one needs another pair of hands to hold them when their own hands are too busy fighting the world.

A small kiss, a warm hug and a reassuring look is all a person needs...
