"First time in these two years you are away from me for such a long period..." She was pacing in the balcony... Rubbing her bare arms as the cool breeze whirled around swaying her off-white sleeveless, scoop neck, long flared kurti..."And you know how much I am missing you?" She sighed as she pulled the rubber band out of her long silky hair, letting it cascade down her back
"Why you are doing this?" She huffed, slouching back on the swing chair...
"I don't want to miss you like this...never ever...come back soon..." She breathed as the feeling of restlessness wasn't ready to cease
"You just come back and I'll make sure you won't give me a reason to miss you again..." She pulled her legs up and leaned back, swaying back and forth slowly... A flow of cold breeze passed, making her loose silky locks flying all over and she whined in irritation... She smoothed her fingers through her windblown hair and securing it on her left shoulder leaned in the softness...
'I am missing the curly haired girl I met in the café...that specific day you know?'
Words chimed in her mind and she chuckled... her eyes closed... she could feel the fingers tracing the softness of her hair while those dark brown orbs staring at her in full of mischief...
"I thought you won't miss the day..." Her forehead knitted and she sighed... A gust of wind swept in rustling the leaves and she inhaled deeply... Her eyes flashed open as if feeling something... Something that wind carried with it, soothing her restless heart and climbing down the swing she stood by the railing looking at the dark velvety sky shining with the myriad glowing dots...
"You won't right?" the smile on her lips bathed in the sliver moon light as she wrapped her arms around...hugging herself...
"I knew it...you'll be here soon...you won't miss the day..."
Stepping back she sat back on the swing gazing at the moon that bestowing it's calm light all around... Her eyelids closed as she leaned back letting herself go in to the memory land...the same day two years back...Flashback...
The elevator doors slid open and employees of Kapoor Designs stepped out one by one... A group of five walked towards the parking, discussing over something or you can better say arguing... Even after the busy day at work they were looking energetic...
"Hey guys, it's better to enjoy the dhaba food today, what say?" One of the two boys in the group suggested
"No Shiv, please we better go to the nearby restaurant, I have to go home before eight..." One of the three girls in the group said while removing the ID around her neck
"Yaar Neha, you are such a spoilsport" Other girl reproached the first one
"Hey Srishti, it's okay na... we'll go to the nearby restaurant only as Neha suggest"
"Ohhh Rishi...you care a lot for her?" Shiv said punching on his arm
"Whatever! Majority works, we are going to dhaba, right Kriya?" Srishti asked and four of them looked towards the girl who was seemingly silent for all the time
"Guys!!! Will you please stop arguing like kids" She shouted and four of them sighed
"God knows from where you get this much energy after a hectic day?" She shook her head while adjusting her oversized aviator eyeglasses, "Whatever you're planning is, I am not in... I am really tired and Mr. Kapoor has asked me to assist in one major project so no holiday for me tomorrow" She said while searching something in her hand bag
"Ms. Kriya Sinha and work!!" Rishi shook his head
"Nahi Rishi... It's not just work, its inspiration... A great inspiration..." Neha giggled
