Love and Love alone

He remembered a question some had asked him once', 'Have you ever REALLY loved someone ...ever?'
The question had brought a smirk on his lips back then. But not any longer. For him, back then, love wasn't far from the loins and he didn't cry when they left him.
Still love has been a undefined emotion for him. He was trying to name some deep enchanting emotion he had been feeling for the past few weeks. The college days were over a decade ago. Mid life crises was looming in the horizon. Any 'normal' people would term him crazy, when they giggled incessantly, stole secret glances, smiled broadly, feigned anger or jumped into empty elevator together.
When did he realize he was in love?  He had heard of someone moving into his office from Bangalore. He had hoped for someone stylish and single. What caught his eye was someone tall with broad shoulders glistening in sweat and salwar with back cut low. He had always been a fan of the blouses with open back. He sat there dreaming of the sweat when she turned up to show her buttoned nose and smile that lit up the entire universe. He didn't get much chance to break in and she was married and pregnant. She did catch him more than once staring shamelessly and must have thought what a jerk was he to stare at a pregnant woman.
Soon she moved into another floor. Goodbyes were exchanged. The meeting would, from now on be, random and serendipitous bumping on in crowded canteen. Life went on until he got a call from an unlisted number. He hated picking unknown numbers to say it was the wrong number. He thought for a few seconds and made the decision that changed his outlook for love, forever.
Although it was for a lost wallet, they became thick friends from that evening. Tea was planned, dark secrets and smiles were exchanged. He started wearing his best to office when she said one day that she liked his shirt. She came onto the secluded washroom area, when he said how much he missed her.
But when did he realize he was in love. For him love attained  a strange meaning when he felt himself burning with jealousy. She once told him about a guy who made her so special and the unforgettable night she spent with him. It took a few moments for him to  feel himself burning with passion. He couldn't stand the fact that he was not the unforgettable person in her life. Will he be able to give her a atleast a minute she wouldn't forget. As the passion left him after a sleepless night and tears, just like the fire after consuming a dry forest, he realized he had to be her special man. Someone she would never forget. Someone she would tell her kids, when she grew old.

Love happens when you realise that your wife is as ugly as hell and she is a total disaster to your life. :))

Well ... I have no false hopes and I have been here for a long time. Grow some spine rather than posting anon

Jon said...

Well you got it wrong. Below average

Mrspreetha said...

But you don't have the spine not to delete my posts

Jon said...

Because they were too horrible and personal. Btw nice name

Anonymous said...

U'll search4 me in another person. I promise...Nd U'll never find me

mrspreetha said...

From your post I can only infer that there isn't anything horrible and personal in your life. Truly speaking you are not even eligible to speak anything related to love.

Jon said...

You are turning out to be a very funny person. Speaking of some eligibility

Jon said...

I don't bother darling

You remind me of Vikram's character in the movie Anniyan. At one time you speak something the next moment you are out of that. Real pathetic.

Jon said...

I don't think Vikrams character was that pathetic

Anonymous said...

You got me wrong my friend. Again the same anomaly. Are you nuts? You derive my one word from one sentence and join it with another word of my another sentence. Had I anywhere mentioned that Vikram's character was pathetic?

Jon said...

If I remind of u Anniyan and am pathetic, then logically Anniyan is pathetic...your arguments are becoming unstable every day my friend
