ULTIMATE TOGETHERNESS

It was one of these customary Sunday mornings with no prolific sheen. Incidentally, I got up early morning as I had my appointment with a doctor at a city hospital. So, after finishing with the routine morning  activities, me and dad drove straight to the hospital. After an hour long drive through the historical and typically narrow downtown roads, we were in the hospital. Much to our misery, we were informed that the doctor is going to arrive late almost by an hour or so. Fortuitously, it was raining heavily outside, so, we thought of getting some sort of warmth. Invariably, we 
changed our seat and sat in front of a radiator. The emission of heat from the radiator was so pleasing to the body, that it induced an 'afternoon-siesta' kind of feeling in me. Meanwhile, an hour passed in this dilemma but, there were no signs of the doctor. 

                                                  

                                                         Literally, I thought of sleeping amid the cries and quacks. No sooner did I rest my head against the wall, something uncanny caught my eye. A girl, almost in her late teens made her way into the waiting room. As she passed by the reception, she could barely overlook me. "Bang!', I murmured to myself. She gave such an offbeat look that I hardly managed to sigh. With that brisk yet astounding walk of her, she sat on the bench right in front of us. I felt butterflies pulping in the tummy. This was it. We began to steal each others' looks. For a moment, I thought that a new saga of my life is being scripted.  I had never imagined in the wildest of my dreams that a hospital could swelter such a romantic aroma. 



Remaining part coming soon....
