He really felt like the king,Walking on the star studded path,
with the wind blowing into his face.He had 180 Dollars in his pocket and
a smile on his face. He smarted at his reflection in one of the building glasses,
passer by`s nodded at him with a warm acknowledgment as there shoulders
rubbed while passing each other.
Oh the life was good, the spring in the steps was obvious and walking through
the crowd seemed effortless, even with a load on his back.
With a satisfying day of work behind him , and a promising weekend ahead,
he was all but stressed.There was something about this breeze today,it made
him feel rested and energized. Nothing seemed wrong in the world today, nor
in his life.The day in the city was coming to an end. It was bustling with energy
without being in a rush.The natural flow of things and the thousands of footsteps
was captivating.
Clearly, any other day , walking such a long distance would have been
discomforting, but not today. A quick glance at his watch told him it was only 6
and he had another hour before he needs to be where he is heading. And he isn't
too far from that place. He could feel that energy churning inside him, he took
a detour, so he could walk more. He stooped under a bridge to admire the
impending sunset, which was a few hours away ,yet so there.
He watched kids playing in water, we watched a group of young girls starting of
there week end revelries with ice cream.He watched a street side man counting
up the change he had got through the day, and he watched a young couple kiss
good byes out side the station.
He just couldn't wait any longer and headed for the coffee shop he was to go to ,
he reached there when it was only 6.20 and he was to meet some where there
no sooner then 7.As he pushed through the door, the cold air conditioned air woke
him up of his warm trance.He let go of the door in a jerk and as the door slammed shut,
a pair of blue eyes turned towards him.
She was already there, and by the two empty coffee cups lying in front of her ,
looked like she was there for quite a while.So he wasn't the only one having a
heart warming day today.
He moved over and sat besides her, making so effort at concealing his smile while
trying hard not to get immersed in hers.
As he was about to take the chair opposite to hers on the table, she took his hand
and guided him to the chair next to her and they started talking.
That evening the sun never went down for either of them.
