When you touch me.....!..!..!..!

I rubbed my hands across each other, it was chilled outside. December has just started. I love December. It takes me back to the memories when we tied a knot. I could see the fog outside. Only few meters area was visible and rest was all clouded with the fog. It could rain today I thought. This weather makes me feel lethargic and wanting me to do nothing. But today was something special. I wore my footwear, tied my hair with a clutch and opened the door. Cold breeze was flowing through the weather. 


I looked at the calendar that was hanging on the walls of the kitchen. I cross the days every day, it tells me how many days I am away from him. Today was 17th of December. I couldn't still believe I am going to see him. I was counting days. It's been two years we are married and he works in military. From the time we've got together he stays away from family for 6 months every time he goes to serve the nation. When I married him, I knew I won't be able to live a casual life like others do. Like going out on lunch and dinner every weekend or shopping or taking vacations every 3 months. But I was ready to sacrifice everything just to be with him. My parents kept on telling me to marry someone else so that I can live a life that every girl wants, but my heart was taken away by him. 

We fell in love when we were in school. We were in a play together for annual function and there on together forever. Back then he decided to join military and serve the nation. I used to feel very proud standing by his side, I still do! Before he decided to go onsite for the first time after we completed higher education, we came to a decision to get married. We got married and a week later he went for his duty. He came after 6 months then and then 3 more times after that. In these two years of marriage we have spent only couple of days together but those days are like the best memories of our life. We all know military people's life is not like others. They have to compromise a lot; they don't see their family for months and at time years. At times they die on the battle field and never comeback. I was still lucky to see him every few months. 

The fog was negligible by this time. Sun has come out. Weather was clean and bright. I cleaned the house, got ready. I wore the red color dress with a little net on back side of it. Tied my hair in the best way and cooked his favorite food. Apple pie is his all-time favorite. How happy I was to see him after such long time. This time we have decided to add a new member to this family before he goes back again. I was really enthralled thinking about our future together.

The doorbell claimed. 

I rushed to the door like never before. As I opened the door, he was standing right in front of me. My eyes kept on looking at him for few minutes, trying to hold that moment forever. He kept his luggage and gave a warm hug. He kissed on my forehead. My eyes closed and I kept my hands on his hands. Our fingers played with each other for few seconds. He looked into my eyes and my eyes looked at him continuously. I forgot to blink. My heartbeat listened to his heartbeat. He was stronger than before. I could see in his eyes, the pain that he must be going through on the battle field. I asked him many times to leave that job and join any corporate office so that we can be together always. But he was very adamant to serve the nation and help the society in some way. I was really proud of his strength that he possessed. He gave me enough strength to survive.             

His touch makes me feel alive. When he touches me, I still feel the goose bumps. When for the first time he was holding my hands I was shivering. I was red when he kissed me for the first time, and the same thing happens still. Love is always young if it's true. Few people will never understand the meaning of real love because they are not gifted by god to understand the depth of it. And those who do should really consider themselves lucky.
  
A week passed just like a moment. Before he gets back to work, he fulfilled what we promised. We were now ready to add a new member to our family. With the promise to come back as soon as possible he left both of us alone. His touch makes me feel alive. His touch is magical. It's like a power and strength that he gives it to me to stay alive without him. Love makes you stronger like you have never thought. 

I wished for him to come back soon, to see the little one!   

When he touch me the world feel alive, I feel alive!  
When you touch me, I feel alive.
The touch is magical and takes me to a different world. 
His touch makes me want him more. 
When you touch me! Life moves around. 
Because when you touch me, you just touch me deep down my soul. 


When you touch me!

  2. Indeed a nice thought once again.. While I began writing and it came to the part that he was in army, for a moment it just struck me if the story would be the same (about a wait for his soul or may be for his death) but for sure it ended quite smoothly and to an end that craves for more to the story! Looking forward for more such!!
