We Discover Each Other

We Discover Each Other
I inched closer to her to peer closer into her eyes; she moved back, as if to conceal all secrets they held within, but this was a lock I was bent on unlocking. This was an ocean full of marine secrets she had uncovered over the past few years. Life had not been easy for her, and she was looking forward to a new phase in her life that was supposed to be a bit easier. Nothing is easy, she knew. Her secrets were only to be spelt out in a different language now. The code is to be a secret she isn’t prepared to reveal to anyone but me.



She was dying to reveal them to someone, and I considered myself lucky when I realised it was before me they were destined to be spelt out. There were several secrets in my heart dying to roll out of my being, while there were several others floating in her eyes I wanted to dive into. I am still not sure whether she ought to consider herself luckier than me or did the converse theorem hold more congruence because both of us were dying to unfurl our secrets before someone. They were screaming at the top of their voices. Their shrill was quite  like a baby’s who is left uncovered in a shivering cold morning. We were the only ones who were able to comprehend the code encrypted within their cries. I am still not sure if her secrets were shrieking at a higher pitch or if mine screamed at a higher decibel.



It was really irrelevant. The important point at that moment was that the babies were to be comforted. Both of us should comprehend the language in which each other’s secrets yelled out. She held her share of secrets at the bottom of a deep ocean, I knew. She was willing to let me dive deep and deeper still every day. I wanted to dive into the ocean that was deeper than any other ocean I had ever been before. I wanted to be drowned beneath all layers of secrets she concealed within.



For a moment, I paused to wonder if she wanted me to take the initiative in what seemed to be a miniscule effort required to unfurl her secrets or did she want to do it herself. Till now, it had seemed to be  a herculean task before me, but it didn’t seem to be very difficult now when we were together. Like all ordeals that were to be before us from now on, we were to dive into an ocean together before we make new discoveries. It was going to be irrelevant who took the initiative to dive in first. Both of us were to be drowned in a deep ocean of secrets.



There is someone special meant for everyone who has the key to read all  encrypted secrets. Someone knows all the secrets required to decipher all ciphers. These ciphers can be unravelled only through the special person, and she was the one who held all codes required to unravel all secrets buried within me. I am glad I found her.
