Z to A in 26 Days – Nov 16th – M is for Mel

I felt very tired, slept without my knowledge and woke up around six in the evening. “It was nice to see you sleep peacefully,” Isha sounded happily, I smiled, saw her dressed up cute. Cute, to say in brief, she was wearing a peacock blue half saree, a cute little bindi added the beauty. I stared at her for almost two minutes. “Hmmm, of course I slept deeply after a long time, but…” I mumbled, “Hey… Hey… dear… shall we go for a walk or a drive in car,” she changed the topic. I could not say no on looking her cute eyes at the same time I Miss Riti, and my sweet Mom. I smiled after many days, “How about a drive to ECR?” “Wow! I love too…” she exclaimed, I dressed up in my favorite blue jean and rose shirt, went to the shed to take my car out.

“Hey, shall I wait here,” Isha said, “Why don’t you come with me,” I answered her and took her to the shed, opened the car and my eyes once again filled with tears on seeing the photo that I kept in the car. She held my hand to soothe me; I smiled a little with tears and drove the car out.

“This is our first,” she smiled with her words. I felt her excitement but at the same time I can’t forget what happened last week. I don’t want to disappoint her with my sad face. I smiled now and then to spend our seconds alive.

“Idiot, why don’t you switch on the player,” she said, I stretched my hands to switch it on. “Wait let me put your favorite song, Ah Ajnabe …” She stopped after saying that and took back her hands… I was shocked to hear that as I never mentioned about this to her. I switched on the FM instead, waited for her response, but she never seems to utter any word. I was little afraid as she sat the same way Riti used to sit. I sped up my car by 10 km, as I wanted to check her fear. “Wow! Drive a little most fast dear,” she exclaimed, I too joined her excited mood and drove at 120 km/hr that was very fast comparing the roads of Chennai.

“Woooo……….” She shouted, I slowed down a little on seeing police officers standing on a handsome distance, took a ‘U’ turn and drove the car to the maximum speed. “Idiot, idiot, slow down, don’t kill me…” she stopped, “Idiot, idiot, slow down, don’t kill me… please, I am afraid” that’s how Riti used to shout whenever I sped up the car, that came to my mind on hearing those words from Isha… “Fool, go faster, I just tested your nerves by shouting like that,” Isha said and smiled. I too smiled and drove the car to reach home sooner.

I parked the car came out and sat near the swimming pool. She sat very close to me took my hand and kept on hers. I smiled, came much closer than before, saw her eyes directly, and rushed to taste her mel.
