CHAPTER-8
To,
My Everything
“ Today I want to say something
Today A wish I make
I will be there with you
In each and every step you take
I will be there with you
In each and every breath you
make ”
From,
Your Own
Ruma
When Rajesh read it, he was so much
moved that he never uttered a single word but pulled a sheet of paper from a
copy and started writing thus,
“ There is a tiny place deep in
your heart where keep your most secret dreams and there are some people who
keep their dreams locked up tight foreever.” and gave it to Ruma, who after
reading the piece of paper, answered by writing another couplet as,
The smile of Rajesh inspired Ruma to
write once again and as such, she wrote,
“ For whatever our problems, I am
happier with you than without you,
From
You,
“ Forgive me for the crime of loving
you. But you know that I am not I but 'you'
To You
“ Tell me what I do
If I see everywhere you
Tell me what I do
If I kiss even the place
You keep your shoe
Tell me what I do
If I can do nothing without you
By my condition I can fell yours,
Tell me what I can do
If I feel the pains of you
I can see truth in your eyes
I know you say the best
When you say nothing at all
I know our love is a spiritual one
But being an earthly creature, Show me
Where is my Destiny ?
and the said piece of paper Ruma gave to
Rajesh. Rajesh read it and understood that Ruma was in tremendous emotion.
An hour elapsed, both Ruma and Rajesh
did not talk a word, only wrote to each other.
Rajesh could not resist the temptation of
sitting an hour more because the question-answer session had been going on so
smoothly that he was enjoying the moment very much.
Again Rajesh wrote, “ what do you want
from me, Ruma ?
Ruma answered as such,
“ Fatherly care
Motherly warmth
Brotherly possession
This is what you mean to me
I need not anything but exactly
that what you have to offer me
a bit of cloud and sky
moonlight and soothing breeze
and a life of love and care. ”
When Rajesh read it, he could not resist
himself in embracing her and Ruma in his embrace found great solace and peace.
And when both parted with each other,
Ruma's large eyes were full of tears.
Rajesh held a drop of tear in his ring
finger and told her, “ don't waste it, Ruma, it is very precious. ”
Ruma smiled with her dimple cheek.
That seen was captured by Rajesh in his
heart's camera for keeping it forever.
Rajesh told her in this session for the
first time that it is time to go Ruma.
Ruma said adeu by saying that,
“ I will steal you from
yourself
And keep my property
I will make you my everything ”
Rajesh said, okay Ruma, meet you
tommorow and went out.
Ruma became sad.
