The Touch
The whole crowd was strange to her, she was feeling wired
and lonely ,not even a single face was
there who cared, and no one knew her past .She was totally humiliated .All eyes
penetrated her soul .The fear started peeling her, she started hearing the fear
it started slowly tearing her mind into pieces she was all blank, her body
started trembling.
The first trip of newlywed couples Mr and Mrs Khalid to Morocco
started with surprises. Morocco was the
first place which Naina (Mrs Khalid) travelled without her parents. Khalid was all set to make everything special
for Naina whole heartedly, he held her hands in the crowd to so that she could
feel safe and secured he bought all those things which could possibly make her
happy she remained silent and thoughtful all the time, it took her from minutes
to hours to speak to Khalid , and Khalid who was aware about her reasons and loved her for
being so .They had few good moments together watching in and out of Morocco .Everything was beautiful.
It was 7pm .They took a cab to the station in order to catch the train which
was scheduled for departure at 8:00 pm. .By 7:15 they reached the station platform
Khalid: Naina would you like to have something.
Naina: It’s okay Ji we just had our meals.
Khalid: It’s has been
almost one hour .You look so dehydrated .Let me bring some snacks and cool
drinks .And see don’t call me Ji and miya you can find your own nick names to
call me .
Naina: Ji.
Khalid laughs and says it’s Okay ‘Ji’. (Taunts) .So ’Ji’ you
take care I will be back within few minutes.
Naina: Looks confused and puzzled.
Naina waited for Khalid making herself comfortable within
few seconds she was dragged down into her deepest world, her eyes were drooping
making her eyes opened to another world of assumptions ,where all her curiosity and expectations were
monitored and flashed ,as the mind whirled and pupils moved rapidly she heard
few gun shots, some goons surrounded & nabbed her purse and ran into the crowd
.And then the deepest and deepest of her fear starts hovering than hearing her
present .Her mouth was all dry ,she felt that her tongue got digested .Her body started fuming ,the heart beats
faster and faster. soon someone from the crowd hugged her and said ,”Are you
alright ,Naina are you alright , Naina can you hear me ...”
“Naina... are you okay? “ As she heard a familiar soft voice, she came back to her senses.
It was Khalid right in front of her holding her hands with
his serious face of concern & unfazed.
Naina: I lost my purse, i couldn’t find any help.
Khalid: Relax, Relax. Held her close, tapped gently on her
shoulders and said gently I have your purse Madam Ji.
Naina: But I, I (anxious and confused)
Khalid: I am there with you, And I Am never Gonna leave you.
He held her passionately, caressed her cheeks. She hugged
him back realizing her deepest fear, His touch made her recognize her deepest
fear was ephemeral and his love as enduring.
