He was standing alone on the beach - watching those waves. His face was calm like that of a saint. His eyes were lost in somewhere far from this madding crowd of mumbai. He wanted to drink every drop of the morning light pouring on him. His hands were crossed on his chest. he comes here whenever he feels like this - sometimes he thanked God for giving him such a job which keeps him away from himself. Otherwise how could he survive struggling every moment with this suffocating feeling of loneliness... The curse of his memory took away his identity from him, leaving him behind like a rootless tree. years ago he lost his "mother" on this day. She could not bear the pain ... But he had to... He had to bear every bit of pain of his life - every loss - knowing that he was the only cause of her death he had to bear his life... Sometimes it becomes harder to drag the life through...

how could he feel her loss if he could not even remember how it feels like to be with a mother! was it only guilt that haunts him? He closed his eyes, no, nothing came in his mind, it was only blank - a deadly blank...

A few minutes passed or hours... Who cares! When he felt that the placidness of his mind was regained he started to move towards his home with slow steps! His home!

he never thought after that after that incident that he could ever be able to find any pace called home! Because home is where one could find his peace, the shelter.

the word shelter was personified for him! It was always her who gave him the needed shadow in the scorching heat. It was her who could heal the pain inside his heart.

he came near His Home! And his eyes got the most peaceful sight - she waiting for him... Her smile told him that she found him. She moved towards the gate, with the same smile which she had when she felt him as hers for the first time. She forwarded her hand to take his.

"Tum kab jaag gayi" he questioned her.

" Jab tum beach pe ja rahe the" she replied with her ever beautiful smile.

"tum jaag rahe the? Mujhe laga tha ki tum so rahe ho, isi liye bina kuch kahe nikal gaye, actually aaj jaldi neend chut gayi ..."

" itna explanation mat do Abhijeet... Main samajh sakti hun - ab andar chalo - koi aur bhi tumhara wait kar rahi hai!"

a smile crept on his face and he followed her towards their room. The ache in his heart he was feeling was vanishing now gradually. A soothing feelings was spreading inside him. He entered room where world's most beautiful smile was welcoming him! His heart melted with that beautiful smile. She recognised him! Yes she did! She forwarded her little arms and within seconds Tarika's body came to her with that softest and prettiest thing of the universe. Tarika placed her head on his chest while he wrapped the most precious two in his protective arms...

a/n: very small? Sometimes there are much more in the untold than the said words... Will be back soon.
