Shhh!!

Kid…she called and waited for the response….and I did give a short soft burst of sound… you know this smiling smiley…right??.. that was her first question and to my surprise it was answerable which is highly unlikely with her usual ones…again my answer was no more than a “mmmmm” :P…
Now here comes the real one…”is it really happy or is that smile just a forceful widening of lips…a fake one”…
And then I have a hard nut before me to crack…. my fist response was “WHAT THE”!!!....but I effort fully gulped it down the gut .My response was deflated to a mere smile…a silent one…and hopefully a sweet one…no…I’m taking that “sweet” back  :P
My fingers were still tracing its way through those silky black strands…and a few of them lay sprayed over her perfect cheek bones…and then it was my turn…I asked “…heyy…can I write about this”…it was more of a reflex….she bounced out from my arms and stared at me with a loud sharp “WHAT”?? …and I repeated my question, softer and cheesier this time…but that did no good to her misshaped eyebrows…but there was a tint of smile somewhere in her lips…and that was more than  a yes for me…and within a few minutes all was normal again….she laid back on  me…the sea…the beach sand ..the wind…all was doing the chorus as perfect as before
 All that was bubbling up … was a set of brain teasers….and at least for some secs….he felt that
he was just not fit enough for the sweet task before him….
He gave it another try and this time it was those sharp facial peaks  that blocked  him from getting to the desired destination….and for the first time he spotted something negative about her crafty well shaped nose.
Off frustration he threw himself back to the ground…and whispered “honey…I don’t know…I just have no idea about how to do it”…and the tone of those words said it all…the big dent on his confidence…and for the first time he felt that the so called “WORLD’S BEST BOYFRIEND” is just not the best…
All he received from the potential recipient was some kiddy…teasing giggles…and she said ”I am happy for one thing darling…that you are trying this for the first time”….
Oh…this is what these awesome species can do to you…take you up from a “NO WAY” situation to a “I CAN” mode with a couple of words or even a tender nod..
Another try…this time a different angle (WOW..THE ENGINEER)…so that the blockage issue was cleared…but still…(why the hell we don’t have a user’s guide for this thing)…
But this time he had no plans to back out…the doubts kept on ringing the alarm…and at times too many unanswered questions is a kind of bliss…it gives you the perfect way out…and for him the solution was “SHUT DOWN”…everything was shut…eyes…brain…mind (if he had something like that)…a total black out!!...and he tasted it…the love!!!
And that’s all it took…he won’t say that it was the sweetest thing in the world..but her smile after that was certainly one fit to head the list…and a whisper to follow “Thanks”..
He was surprised about that response and asked “for what??”…for that kiss??...our first one”
There were no signs of response from the other end for at least a couple of minutes…and then it came…the sweet little answer as the cherry on the top for the moment “no dear…for giving me another reason to love you… this was number 1000…I guess”
And then I replied “I am not sure about your smiling smiley….all I know is that…”I AM SMILING”…
with my heart…at least for the moment. J
