Sky of Memories...

Here I am all alone miles away from home staring at the night sky. Millions of stars shine before me like the dreams of millions of people beneath them. We all have dreams but we hardly achieve everyone of them. No, I am not a philosopher or a life guru. I am just an ordinary guy in search of a place where I belong. With me I carry thousands of unforgettable memories but one of them is the most closest to my heart. The memory of my love...memory of Neeti.

"We are getting late Neeti. Dress up fast!" said I staring at my clock while my girlfriend was still in her room trying as many as dresses she can before she found the most perfect one for the movie we decided to watch today.

"Coming baba just 2 minutes more, please na", she said in childlike voice. Its one of things about her I love the most. No matter how angry I was on her a minute ago moments like these always cools me down. She came out of the room wearing a shiny single piece blue dress. She was looking stunning that I thought my heart will explode from beating too fast.

"How I am looking? Is it good?"

"You...you...look perfect."

She hugged me and gave a kiss on my cheeks.

"Lets go we are getting late my Romeo ", she said and laughed. I followed her unconsciously staring at her. She noticed me and gave her million dollar smile. She held my arm and we walked downstairs to my car.

"Now focus on driving", she said, giving a pat on my head. While driving I would steal a glance at her 2-3 times. I felt lucky to have her by my side. There was a smile on my face till we reached the cinema hall. I brought two ticket of movie Lootera as she was a big fan of Ranveer Singh.

In movie hall she sat with her head on my shoulders. She tightly held my right hand and with her right hand she was holding a glass of Coca-cola which was her favorite drink. When kissing scene came, she looked at me giving me a naughty smile. I bent over to kiss her and we kissed and kissed for like 10 minutes. She held me close tightly like she never wanted to let me go. I felt wetness over my face; I held her face in my hands and she made a crying face like a small baby. I kissed her forehead and said, "What happened jaan?" She buried her face in my chest. I understood what her tears meant. I wanted time to stop and this moment to never go away but little I knew that this was our last movie together.

She died a week later cause of cancer.
