A World Of Gold Awaited Us

A World Of Gold Awaited Us
My heart missed a beat while she stood before me with a smile on her face. It was better than anything else I had ever witnessed. I have lived quite a bit of my life, and seen quite a bit of the world, but the smile was spectacular in itself. Her lips read out a message of love spread all over her face in the simplest of all languages I have ever known while they spread the message of hope and happiness to those before them. The moment was going to go down the alleys of my memory as one of the most beautiful ones of my life because I found someone who was going to look at the world with my eyes and interpret it with my mind and yet translate it into action using her own arms and legs. They were to translate quite a few atoms in the air between us in the years to come.

At the present moment, there were a lot of atoms in the air that separated us, and the smile on her lips seemed to be borrowed from my lips without my express permission. I wanted it back, but there was no way of getting it back now. it had already become her way of expressing mirth and happiness. quite a bit of our lives is going to change in the next few years.  I wondered if her heart beat as wildly as mine while she stood before me. I was on the verge of putting up the question before her when I think I heard my heart beating wildly quite like a bird flutters when caught in a trap. My palpitating heart wanted to ask a lot of questions, but I don’t think she was in a position to answer any of them.

The most relevant question at that time was if she was as excited about knowing me as I was about discovering her. She was a novelty for me as much as I was for her; there must be a similar amount of excitement ingrained in the occasion for both of us.  The situation was to spell out equal terms of happiness for both of us in a few days if things worked out as planned. I paused to wonder if anything was to be anything equal between us; I certainly wasn’t the ideal one she desrved. I saw a faint mirage of my future in her eyes as she stood before me. The spectacle I saw in her eyes was beautiful, but I feared it was going to move further away and even fade into ignominy if I moved towards it. I maintained my position in the lawn before her for a long time before she made a formal move.

She turned to greet someone else in the gathering, and I was relieved of some amount of tension that collected within me in her presence. It was quite like a move of a rook in a game of chess to effect a castle. She changed her position with another person in the lawn. It was done to secure the king of the game from an impending attack from the opponent. She had figured out my interest in her by the look in her eyes and she didn’t want to advance the interest any more than the comfortable level. I did wonder if she regarded me as an opponent in a game of chess; I was on her side of the game before she even announced her pieces. There was no difference between the white and black pieces for me at that time as long as she held the winning pieces. We were sure to win if we formed a team.

The team we were to form in a few days was to take us to a land of gold at least for a few days. Everything is going to be made of gold; there are to be rocks and crags made of gold; there is to be a glitter of gold in the water we are going to drink every day; all solutions to all puzzles of our life are to be available in the utopian world of our dreams. The world of our dreams is to fade into ignominy as soon as we let out even a whisper to each other; there is bound to be a conversation between us, and so our  world of dreams is sure to fade into oblivion in a few  days even if it survives the first few moments of our interaction.

There are hundreds of fallacies in each of us; our ideal world is based on the false belief of our being perfect beings without any fault. All of us have foibles and faults, and our individual faults are sure to come to the fore soon after our initial interaction. Her smile took me to the seventh sky and back in a little while out of glee and excitement on the first day, but the adventures I am going to discover later are certainly not going to be as pleasing and good.

I hope we can make each day of our life full of as much glee and happiness as the initial days of our interaction.
