A Glimpse of Love..

It was my elder bro's marriage reception eve that night..My home was filled with many relatives,family friends etc..I was busy accommodating rooms for each families and my relatives.My friends decided to stay in a near by hotel.I kept a small room at home reserved for myself as I didn't want to get disturbed during my make-up next morning for the big marriage day.I accommodated almost everyone at my home and the rest were shifted to the nearby relatives home.Unfortunately the electricity went off and the generator too got messed up due to some unknown reasons.

Somehow I managed to get into my room and just fell on my bean bag.Suddenly I heard a girl's voice..

Girl         :-Who's that ?? WHO's THAT ?

Me         :-Ah,it's me ...mmm the groom's bro Calvin.

Girl        :-Oh ! I'm sorry I haven't seen you.Why there are no lights here ??

Me        :-Yea,the electricity and the generator got messed up and it would take a few hours to return back .Ahh,How did you reach this room ?

Girl        :-It's your cousin Julie who took me to this room,as I wasn't feeling well,having a very bad headache.Sorry I guess it must be your room.

Me        :-It's ok,no problem be comfortable..Did you have any medicines ?

Girl       :- No.

As soon as I heard that No,I went and got some tablets from the shelf at kitchen.That was the place where my mom kept medicines.I never know how did I reach the kitchen downstairs..it was full dark.Somehow I brought her the medicines and water.

Me      :-Here it is !! Now you are going to be fine soon...Oops..Ah,where are you sitting..Be careful I'm stretching my hands to your reach..I misplaced my mobile somewhere or else I could have got some light from it.

Suddenly she touched my hand and I handed over the medicines and water to her..

Girl    :-Thanks a lot Calvin for your care..

Me     :- It's ok,I'm happy that I could help you..So,take rest..I would be outside on the couch.You be comfortable here..

Girl     :-Oh please ..be here itself if you don't mind as I'm a little scared too because of this darkness.

Me     :-Yea sure,no problem..By the way..What's your name ?

Girl     :-I'm Hanna ..

Me and Hanna got our self introductions done..She was of my age and a close friend of my cousin sister.Her voice was sweet and the main thing is that she never blabbers,talked with respect..What more do I need to have a crush on her ?? It was really sweet talking with her and I wished that electricity never come back any soon.A complete dark room with voices exchanging and that too me and Hanna alone ...Sighhhh.. 

Me          :-Hanna,you sound a little sad..What happened ? This night is long ,my ears are free and would like to know more about you.

Hanna     :-Thanks a lot Calvin,I was missing my parents so much..especially my dad.He was like a best friend to me.

Me          :- Oh,is he abroad ?? Ah,I will try finding my cell phone,so that you could make a call to him and you would feel better..

Hanna    :-No,Whenever I talk he can hear me,both my dad and mom have subscribed a special connection from the heaven..Both passed away 6 months ago.

I was damn shocked to hear that..Thank God,it was dark..or else I couldn't have faced her..Her words touched me so hard and my heart was beating so hard telling me that I was falling for her.
I would never get a night like this again ..may be I would never see her again after tomorrow..So I never wanted to miss her,Yes as my heart said..I was falling for her.I might just have a few hours with her,I never wanted her to sit desperate..If atleast I could make her smile for some hours,their parents would feel happy..Then I never wasted anytime..just wanted to hear her smiling and laughing..

Me        :-Oh,your mom is there with him.She would take care of him very well.There is nothing to worry..He would be happy with your mom there..

Hanna remained silent..

Have you ever thought of them Hanna ?? They too would be missing you so much ,but they never expect you to join them soon.Definitely,they would want you to live the rest of your life happily.Imagine how bad they would feel when they see you crying here..Obviously they too will feel sad when you are sad here..Be happy Hanna !! They are fine there..Mom will take good care of Dad..When you smile,they would have even bigger smile on their face..So be happy !! 

Hanna       :-Calvin,no one have ever consoled me in this manner.You really made a different world for me now..you consoled me just like my dad does..Are you real or it's my dad ?

Me            :-hahahaaa..even I have that doubt because I never speak this way.May be it's your dad who's making me say all these...Smile well Hanna,your smile can bring happiness to many hearts and moreover you would look like an angel when you smile..not when crying.

Hanna      :-But you have never seen me right ?? Then how would you say that I would look like an angel when I smile ??

Me           :-Ahh..mmmm...I haven't seen you but,I feel that I have seen some part of your heart and I know calling it an angel would be a smaller word to express my feeling,but I have no other word in my vocabulary.

Hanna     :-You are so sweet Calvin,you are so caring..It's me who goes out of words to explain how much you are healing my pain right now.

Me          :-I'm sweet just because I'm sitting next to you..it's your sweetness that is showering upon me. 

Hanna     :- I'm beaten by your words,Calvin..You made me smile so much ..

Me          :-I'm trying to break your smiles into laughter..because when you smiled,this darkness became more beautiful..

Hanna     :-Wow ! So,am I a rainbow ?

Me          :- Never Hanna,I don't want to see you so acrobatic to bend like a rainbow here..

Hanna laughed hearing it..I was successful in bringing smiles on her face..We talked a lot,laughed even more.. That room was filled with the beauty of her smiles..

Hanna    :-I have never laughed this much since my parents passed away..You are special,Calvin..
You lighted me up..and as you said my parents too would be happy seeing this..

I remained silent ..I was so happy she she said that I was special..We both remained silent for a while.

Hanna     :-Calvin,I feel even our silence is communicating each other..

Me          :-Yes,Hanna..Can I keep the lights switches pressed off ?

Hanna     :-Why ? There is no current right..??

Me         :- Incase if the current comes,I wish to continue this darkness..

Hanna    :-Is there any way to continue this darkness life long ?


Those words ,that feeling ..was what I had for her and I was so happy hearing that from her..I just felt to hug her and say that " I love you"..

Hanna    :- I guess I'm flowing in a river with you..

Me        :- Yes ,I would call it as the River of Love !!

Hanna   :-Calvin,I really fear that this is a dream..

Me        :-Hanna,you are born to dream and I'm born to make your dreams come true..

Destiny is what brought Hanna to my life...Just an accidental touch on her hand and  we resulted in kissing each other..We spoke,we loved ,we kissed..all these happened in that darkness..What only left was to see each other..

I'm realizing that I'm smiling and my eyes are closed...Smile was slowly diminishing..
Now I don't want to open my eyes...No NO NOOOOOOO..I don't want to open my eyes to realize that it was a dream..Ohhhh !!! F**** F**** F**** F**** SHIT !!!! F****ing DREAAAAAMMMMM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
My bro's marriage was over 2 years back and he is having a kid too !!!! Oh !!! NoOOOOOO

A Wait at the Doorstep..

On a very fine evening, just after the prayer,warden came to the prayer hall to announce that we would be having a guest to our Old Age Home on the very next morning.His name is Ajay..age:23.No other details of him was explained there.We 63 old ladies are resided in this Old Age Home and it's the first time we are having a guest who is going to stay here for more than a day.We discussed among others and our warden about the facilities to be arranged for him.We had only one condition for him to follow,that was our daily routine..to wake up at morning 5'o clock,take bath and followed by breakfast and prayer.We prepared a time table for him to follow our routine.

Next day morning

After our prayers,we all used to sit quiet for some time,gathering all our past memories..Some used to cry..some sat without any expressions.This was the time when Ajay arrived..And we were surprised to see him in this way !! A shirt which had the picture of a women in bikini with the background of a beach, A small hat ,A cargo shorts, a casual shoes untied with an ankle socks in it. He was having a huge backpack on his shoulders.He seemed like a tourist visiting a beach...
He looked at us from one side to other side and said : What the fuck !! We all were shocked to see his expression and his WORD !..After a 5 second pause he said..

Ajay          :- Where the hell am I standing ?? On a graveyard ?? Or a school with all chicks wearing uniforms ??

One of us  :-Dear son,this is an Old Age home..we live here on prayers and does some small works here.We lead a peaceful life here.

Ajay          :-Hey Old babe !! What's your name ??

We were stunned to the core whenever he opened his mouth.

One of us  :- My name is Suzzane.

Ajay          :-Listen Suzy baby !! I'm not surprised why you got kicked out by your children..If you wanted to pray and lead a peaceful life,why didn't you decide to be a Saint ?? This is a home for Old babes..Oh Goddddd !!

Many of us had our mouths open.For a moment I thought in my mind about my daily prayers..to make us stay away from devils..But at this moment I felt that a devil had once again taken charge in my life.Next was my turn to give him the time table and I submitted it with a slight fear because I had no idea what's next coming from his mouth !! Gaining some strength from God I gave him the time table.

Ajay         :-Thanks Baby !! That must be a greetings right ?? 

After opening the chart,he paused for a second and tore it into two..and said "Baby can you direct me to my room,please..
I thanked God for a second and guided him to the room.He was happy with the room.And he asked me to call everyone to gather in a hall.

Ajay          :-Hey,how did you come here..it's a place only for babe's of above 60..And you look like a 40 year old cutie.

I touched the ceiling for a moment..hahahaaa..At this age,to hear a comment like that was a special feeling..Got Goosebumps !!

We all gathered in a hall and he arrived wearing a T-shirt and a 3/4th shorts..Thank God ! atleast now he looks like he is in home.We all felt like we were in a school waiting for the tough heart principal !! He came and took a very close look on each of us and saw him making some note.
He left soon after making a note on each one of us and we all headed for our breakfast session.
After 3 hours..we heard the noise of our gate..It had a very creepy noise.When we checked at the doorstep,it was Ajay who opened the both doors of the gate very wide.The security got irritated and had a talk with him,but Ajay walked in as he never saw that security.As he got into the home,he called us to the hall.. From there on it was a dream for us.

Ajay        :- Sexy Babes !! I have got an announcement for you all..The days you lived as saints are all over..now it's my Rules here !! Babe's first of all there are no more uniforms..Next,there are no routines to be followed here..This is a Home,not a hostel or a convent !! No bloody routines..All these days,you all followed this routine and lead a life like dead bodies.When the whole world including your children is enjoying outside,you all shouldn't spend your life inside these 4 walls.New Rule and New Life !! No one is going to wake up early morning..Sleep till 10,breakfast is not in dining room,but in our television room..No holy channels !! Only Music Channels..And he ran outside and called us..

Ajay        :- Hey Babes !!! Come to daddy !! 

When we got out,we saw a huge collection of modern costumes..he started calling out each names.
Mariya,was asked to change her hair style,polish her nails...along with a sleeveless top and a skirt.Suzzane was given a beauty kit,hair colour and a western costume.I got a pair of sexy costumes,I had no idea about it's name.Ajay asked everyone to say goodbye to their old uniforms forever.He asked us to run to our room and start getting our new looks.He came in and took care of the hair colours that Michelle was told to do,helped them in dressing,nail polishing,curling hair,manicure and pedicure etc..He was running here and there..

I must say that in just few hours,he made us forget that we are staying in an Old Age Home..Ajay who came in as a devil,was our Angel..He just flipped our life like anything..Everyone of us was in a spirit of an adventurous picnic.We were so surprised to see us very beautiful..As Ajay said..

Ajay       :-Oh,my God !! You all look gorgeous..I fear that I have to sponsor everyone's "date" in a short time..Babes,Let's go out and smoke off some hot men !!

Ajay,took us out ..He made us feel like we were out for a high school picnic.Everyone forgot their age and their health.The most memorable day was the day he took us to a beach and made all of us wear Bikini's..We all flaunted that day !!! He took us out like his babes !! hehehee...now I'm also getting the touch of his slang of talking.In two days,he changed us entirely and we all were like him.Not only me,everyone talked the way as he did..

Suzzane     :-Hey Smart ass !! How do I look ?? LOL

Ajay          :-Baby !! Perfect..you look hot !

Mariya     :- Hey hot boy.Wassup !! (pinched on Ajay's butt) take us to a nightclub !!

Ajay          :-My bitch !! Your son may flirt with you tonight !! lol

Each morning we wakes up hearing the creepy sound of our gates and followed by the security shouting !! Ajay come up with some plans for the day and take all of us out..Each morning as soon as we hear the creepy gate noise,we would rush to the door step..He always left the Home very early to make arrangements for our day and always came in opening the gates very wide and calls us "Hey Sexy Oldies" hahahaaa...
He took us to a different world !!! But after 6 days of fun,we had to face that last day with tears,as he had to leave abroad for his job.We never could imagine a day without him.We all saw him not like a son,but as a lover..Ajay too was very sad that day !! I went near him that night and said..

Me          :- We all felt this as a re-birth..We dream a lot now..but all those dreams have you in it.There is no dream for us without you.
Ajay replied with the most beautiful words that they still remain in my ears..

Ajay       :- This is a re-birth for you all as well as me too.
In this life, "You all are born to dream and I'm born to make your dreams come true...."
Next day we gave him a sent off at the door step,we all kissed him..in tears..He said that after leaving this place,he won't call or have any contacts for a while because he may break down..
He walked to the gate...for the first time,he looked at the security with a smile..The security was in tears and shouted at him "WHEN WOULD YOU COME IN AGAIN OPENING THIS GATE WIDE OPEN ??" Ajay hugged him... And we all watched him passing through the gate and he went...
It was after he left,we all realized that we didn't know anything about him..Just his name and his age..We never got a time to ask about him these days..But he knew each one of us very well.Only it was our warden who knew about him and we were stunned to know about him.

Ajay was the only son of his very rich parents..He reached to our Home Age after the cremation of his parents that was held on the previous evening.It was an accident.From there he decided to be with us for a week and the very next morning he came to us making all of us smile..It was Ajay's dream to make us all happy and to provide a glimpse of love which we missed from our children.It's been 2 years since we have been waiting for him.We believe one day he would widely open that creepy gate and call us loudly "Hey Sexy Oldies..come to Daddy !!"

(Warden :They are still waiting for him to come opening that gate..But they don't know that he would never come back again.He died in an accident in USA,just a week after he left this Old Age home..Before he died he whispered "Do not let them know this,I will surprise them.I'm going to make my babes dream come true."
