In The Quietness…

He came to drop her off at the airport. In his eyes, she could see the world nearing to its end. His calm face was reflecting the storm his mind was facing. She could see the dry tears in his eyes. His aviators couldn’t camouflage the emotions this time. In the quietness, she could hear him, talking to her. He was asking her not to catch the flight, to be by his side forever, to be his front view for the lifetime. He was telling her that he can’t live even for a tad bit of time without her presence, that how much he misses her when she’s not around. They thought they were making the best use of time but little did they know that their times are best utilised when they think about the closeness they have and not the distance. When they clasp hands together, the spark of love could be seen into their eyes. That’s how electric their bond is. She was listening to his unspoken words and controlling her river like tears. Her feelings were indescribable. Her throat was choking as she was trying to stop herself from crying. That very moment felt like she’s losing her life. In the quietness, they both were dying, thinking about their separation. She caught the flight, only to come back to him. He went for work, only to wait for her. In the quietness, they continued living the way they have to, instead of the way they want to…
