The Touch

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.
