Bawling Amour

Wing - 8

                      Malcolm and Mera reached the first flower shop. She was all surrounded by mixed feelings, she felt her heart , though she was dead. "Are you really nervous, Mera?" teased Malcolm. "Will you stop doing that" she said annoyed. "I dint do anything Mera, am just having fun watching you blush" he said. "Blush" she said touching her cheeks. A passerby stood there to see Malcolm talk to himself and when Malcolm realised it he couldn't control his embarrassment and finally said "My apologies. Am just rehearsing to propose"  he said.
                      Mera started laughing and said "Propose huh? Let's see then". But Malcolm said his proposal would be very special and very different and it is only for a special person. Just as they were having a little chat, the flower shop was opened and customers started going inside. Malcolm took Mera inside for her most awaited moment to find "him". Just as they entered inside , Malcolm spotted only female workers and no male workers were found. She was totally disappointed as the very first attempt was a failure.
                 He could sense the pain that her heart felt and said" It's okay Mera, let's travel more to find him" she then reciprocated with a sad and disappointed smile and consoled herself. As they were about to leave they heard a male call out to Malcolm. "Excuse me sir, would you like to buy some flowers?" Malcolm and Mera turned to the direction from which the voice came and  the excitement started. "I can't see him, I can't see..... I can't .... I" Mera started panicking. Malcolm wanted to laugh out loud for he said "Mera either way you can't see him, love is blind" and giggled. "I heard you jealous crow" she murmured. "Jealous? Oh not me" he said.
               As they were having a little chit chat , they heard someone  calling again"Excuse me sir , would you like some flowers? If so, i can help you." he said. Malcolm did not know how to start the conversation and so he said he was getting flowers for his blind girlfriend who was very special to him. Mera who was standing there was shocked to hear what Malcolm said but she did not react much as her excitement was much more. She very badly wanted to know his name and so she nudged Malcolm to ask. "May I know your name please" asked Malcolm. "My name is Melvin, Sir" he said and was busy to find the best flower.
                  By this time Malcolm almost forgot about their plan and was about to get the flowers Melvin had picked but Mera interrupted him and said she had to feel his hand to know if he was the person. "How can I ask him that I want to feel his hand. He might think ill of me " Malcolm said. "That's the only way Malcolm , you have to understand" she said. So Malcolm said he wanted to know if the flowers were soft and without any thorns for his girlfriend was blind but Melvin assured it was without thorns and had a beautiful fragrance. Melvin sensed Malcolm was a little disappointed and so he said "Here you go sir, close your eyes and feel it"he offered.
                   Mera took this opportunity and  like they practised she went inside Malcolm's body and caught Melvin's hand and she started feeling it. Melvin found it rather odd after a few seconds and said "Sir am sorry, i do not prefer partners in the same gender" and left the place by freeing his hand away from Malcolm's grip. To be more precise it was Mera's grip. Mera came out of his body and sensed an angry Malcolm. "I know your angry , your breathing is heavy, sorry Malcolm"she said. He did not talk to her and left the place and Mera followed the sound of his heart beat and left with him.
                  More than the excitement Malcolm could feel a sigh of relief as "Melvin wasn't Mera's him". He got into his car and Mera was right next to him and he kept a continuous check on her expressions. After a few moments he asked "Are you disappointed Mera?" For which she did not tell him anything. "Are you angry with me?" she asked him. "Answer my question first" he said. "Yes Malcolm, it was not him. The moment my hands touched him i felt it but wanted to be extra sure so just squeezed a little" she said sadly. "A little? A little?" he asked mocking her. "Mera you really squashed his hands and made the man run" he said laughing.
                   Malcolm could not control himself and said "It's better he was not that guy for he was not as good looking as me?" For which she replied "Don't try to fool me, talking about looks". Malcolm was very much offended and demanded for an apology which was greatly neglected by Mera and so they started their quarrel like forever best friends and journeyed their way back home. As they reached home he felt very bad for her though he was relieved  for himself and said  "Mera, sorry i disappointed you today, we will definitely find him tomorrow". She could sense his feelings and she too had sensed it in her for she said "Thank you for being with me always Malcolm, i know you will always make me happy. Now, just say those words and i will do what your heart desires" . Malcolm was schocked.

What does Mera wants Malcolm to say?
Did she finally understand him? Will Malcolm find his love? To know the answers travel with me.
