This is what they say about waking up in the arms of a loved one. It just reminds me of his message a long time back, where he’d written a little 2 liners saying he’d wake up each morning with the warmth of my lips on his lips, the touch of my fingers on his skin, my breath in his throat and the beat of my heart, beating with his….. This was how it felt. This was so real. The first words I heard in the morning was “I love you”. And the morning was like it was custom designed for our new life. The fresh air, the sun, the green environment like an angel had just left it sparkling with happiness. The birds were singing in the courtyard. Something was so different, so lively. Beautiful beyond words. We joined our friends for morning tea. No one asked us anything, just greeted the newlyweds. It was our second day at the trip. We went a sort of hiking and it was so much fun. We all walked together, made jokes together. We walked all the way upto that old palace. There we went around for sightseeing. Then we went down to the river. I got a unique piece of rock for him from the river. I always used to get a rock for him whenever I went somewhere for a visit. Then we all made our way back home. It was almost evening when we left. We decided to tell it to our parents the other day. For today, we just wanted to celebrate the joy of being a part of the one we loved, and have always been in love with. We reached school, bid goodbye to other friends. They wished us goodluck. Then we left on his bike, he was dropping me home. I hold so tight onto him. Then he stopped at a certain place that he used to. Kissed me softly, which I returned. I ran my hands softly over his face and said “thanks”. We hugged and we both entered my home. He greeted my parents, they welcomed him. He sat for a cup of tea. Then after a short talk, he left. We didn’t reveal anything today. But from the look of my face, my parents must have found out that I’m really, really happy. I winked at him at the gate, and said “goodnight”. After a while, I got his message -”goodnight, my beloved wife.” I re-winded the two days in my mind till I fell asleep.
