Life is a play and every single one of us is playing a role and is part of this play. Least we can do is to live it in a way that ,it becomes memorable and in return what they offer is a blessing. Something more than any achievement.

Just a normal day and same old routine. Life seemed to be quite monotonous to me. Every day I need to wake up ,as usual, get ready and goto office and come back and eat and sleep..

One day I was just getting ready for my office. I wore my favorite white shirt and blue trousers with my favorite brown shoes and perfume , as usual. I was stand in front of the dressing table and today I did something different. I wanted to wear a tie, so I pulled out one tie and started toeing it around my neck in-front of the table.

While doing so , a thought came into my mind, and wished to meet someone or probably if I can just make a new friend, something so random but unusual. The knot was perfect and I looked into the mirror and smiled for such non sense thoughts. I picked up my bad and today I wanted to travel by bus. You don’t actually like crowd ,yet you go into such crowded place, so that you can be lost..

I stepped out of my flat carrying the burden of my life ,with smile and life hidden in it , and a crazy smile , telling me what the heck were you thinking!! And protruding towards the bus stand.

And while I was waiting for my bus, deep in my thoughts and wind blew ..I looked at my left and was struck for sometime. There she was standing, her long silky hair ,that where just fighting to cover her beautiful face. With her beautiful hands she tucked her hair behind her ears.. yaaa..!! There she is, a beautiful soul with those greenish color eye and strong eye lashes with cheeks so red , damn ..it felt like winter in summer. A black color one piece she wore with black color pencil heels . She had her work in her hand, she gazed at me and smiled. I was like ,a dream or like ,am I drunk or like , are you talking to me.. seriously..!! And then she smiled again and I reciprocated too. And that’s when I met “my beautiful black bird”.

I couldn’t stop my self gazing at her. She was stunning . I could feel the cool wind ,I could feel the air, I could feel it all. After ages ,it was like, I am alive. And then the bus came.

And so we went to our destinations . Something changed in me, going office , now became a must and something more was added in my daily routine ,that was to wait for my black bird.. first day itself I noticed the complete trend of her travel so it became must for her to travel from the same stop. These instances occurred more and more . With passage of time , I developed this strong zeal to approach her..and one day I did .

I was well prepared to meet her today . I wore my favorite black shirt with blue jeans and white sneakers. And perfume , all time favorite one. I was all set as today I am ready to talk to my black bird. I reached the bus stand and as soon as she came,I looked at her and smiled . She reciprocated with the same. I approached her . I was standing infront of her and I could see those beautiful greenish eyes gazing into mine and beautiful red lips smiling and silky hair flying in air.. I said - hi..!! I am Shael..!! She replied - hey..!! …I am…Natalia ..!!..

That first line of conversation gave me a relaxation and confidence that yes .!!. Conversation could be carried out. We started talking and we continued till she deboarded the bus .

She stepped down from bus and looked at me and waved ..a bye..

I was so much indulge in her words and beauty that I couldn’t ask her contact. Now the curiosity rose and so does my happiness that desire to see her again tomorrow.

Next day I came to the bus stand , but she wasn’t there. Bus came ..but she wasn’t there.. I went to office and came back but she wasn’t there..

I became suspicious and made my mind understand this -“ she might be busy”..

This thought process was running day and night in my head and carried out daily..as if I have added something new to my routine..

The crowd seemed to be increasing daily and I was finding my self getting into that crowd , more and more..


image

That meeting turned out to be something that pulled me more into the idea , getting lost in crowd..and the time that I sorted to be a blessing in return turned out to be ,the curse of black bird..
