She looked up at the sky, smiled and whispered, " With you by my side, I will reach the stars..." He to looked up from the other side of the phone and smiled...he made a silent prayer for her as always...
The next day, both opened their eyes even before the sun could rise, rushed through their daily schedules and rushed to their respective airports. They were both so excited, they were to meet each-other after 4 long years. Time had changed many things, but it could not affect their love for each other.
They were supposed to meet at their home town, and they planned to meet each-other even before their parent met them. So accordingly they had selected the plane timings so that they could meet just outside the airport.
Her flight landed on time, her smile nearly touched her ears, her heart pumping harder by the minute. Her childish excitement was evident, as she paced the airport corridor towards the luggage pickup counter. On the way she checked the arrival list, he has reached!!
With her luggage she was waiting on the opposite road of the airport, her eyes glued on the Gate 2. And there he was, he had seen seen her too. Her heart skipped a beat, she smiled but he frowned back...
She glanced questioningly, his eyes widened, his lips uttering a NO....and that's when she knew why... but it was too late...his magnetic pull had already attracted her to the middle of the road...
The scene in front of him was changing so fast, she was there in front of him, he also saw the taxi zooming into the scene... his words could not reach her on time but his heart already knew he has to be by her side...
He ran, and picked her up in his arms, she smiled with half open eyes and whispered," With you by my side, I will reach the stars..." Tears trickled down his cheeks as he made a silent prayer for her as always...
With love,
Sanjukta.
