A Tragic Intuition!!!!! The sea waves rose and fell. It was a perfect metaphor for what was going on in my mind, a deep lingering pain that would rise and fall. This time of the evening was the loneliest of all. I strolled along the shore, watching the sun go down. Tears fill my eyes. Something within which I had so much wanted to get rid of came gushing back, in spas mic attack and I fought hard to quell the pain. I forgetting what had transpired was the answer. I had run away. I wanted to escape the place and the memory that had hurt me again and again. But nothing seemed to have changed. Memories still haunted me. It ate away my peace of mind. As I walked back to the home, darkness slowly descended over the sea. I felt the sand beneath my bare feet, the whooshing sound of the waves and the shrieks of little children scampering around. The sights and sounds gradually faded. I talked to myself, reassuring that this will go away. The sand beneath my feet was only companion. I suddenly felt I came closer to myself as I never had spent time alone. That day October 3, was just like any other. But it left a big scar in my life. It was toward the evening I had gone to pick her up. She was dressed in her most perfect outfit. Her hair was still fresh. Her eyes sparkled. As she came down the stairs, I stood there frozen. It reminded me of meeting her for the first time. She was as beautiful as ever. Everything about her was simply irresistible. I remember how I had gasped and gaped and felt my heart thump against my chest. It was a sign, I had thought of love and she was the one. My intuition, heart and soul told me that. When she had disappeared among the crowd, I had held my breath and told my friends, It is her or no one. My friends had laughed if off. As she reached the last rung of the stairs, I extended my hand. Her soft hand fell into mine. I blushed. I gave her hug. I blushed more. It was a date and I was bent on making it memorable for her and myself. We started to walk. She didnt talk much. MY best friend always used to say that if the girl talk more, you are a big bore, I tried my best, brought out all the sense of humor I had and talked at length. She was impressed meandered through, family, friends, hobbies, books, life and philosophy. How would I not just say what I felt for her? An overriding feeling of courage spilled over and that time I tried, it;s now or never. I tried reading her mind. Perhaps she like me. The signs are clear. I was confident she would ask for time to think it over, I thought. But I can wait. I gauged my chances, eight to ten. My instinct said, Go ahead boy! This is it. This moment is yours for the taking. I slowly took her soft hands into mine. The breathing stopped, for a moment......... And the world came crashing down on me!!!!!!
