"Please don't be in love with some one else, please don't
have somebody waiting on you." Murmuring the lyrics to herself, she
walked to the mirror to have a last glance at herself. She looked at the
face that was glowing with freshness, but her eyes whispering another
story. Ignoring what she was seeing, she walked out the door, treading
the sidewalk that she always took to work. Maintaining the pace, with
her headphones on, she walked on, not glancing around for a second.
Today was different, she was listening to the same songs that she loved,
but not singing along, not dancing to her own beat. Her pace slower
than usual and she wasn't enjoying the autumn's shower of leaves that
she loved, she was just walking absentmindedly, though fully aware as to
where she was going. But today was different.
"Morning!" She was wished by her usual desk partner. She
never realized that he always waited at the door for her. They walked
in together and settled in, facing each other. They never talked, never
even exchanged their views about work.
Sitting just across her, he thought of a thousand ways to
manage his work but never could he manage to ask her how she was and
what she liked. But he liked to watch her when she wasn't looking. When
today he looked at her, he felt unrest. For a split second, their eyes
met, and he heard what they were saying. He felt the emotions, he felt
the unsaid pain. He felt the warmth of her cheeks and listened to her
beating heart. All in a split second, and a tear rolled down his cheeks,
she blinked but couldn't look away. Her heart revolted to reach out to
the guy sitting just across, to hold him and tell him that what ever it
was will be alright. The same moment, he smiled, and both their worries
vanished. That minute was all they ever needed, in which they shared
their words and promised for better times ahead. She was calm again, now
she could dance on the bed of colors on which her heart lay. And she
smiled seeing him smile again. Today was different, because today she
wanted to say it out loud," Please don't be in love with someone else,
please don't have somebody waiting on you"
She looked at him with intense emotions in her eyes, never saying word, but today was different and today he replied," Even if I had to wait, I'll wait for a thousand years.", without taking his gaze off her. Something he had been yearning to say, something she was desperate to hear. Today was different because Something different was about to start.
