The Wait

He sighed in relief as he heard her voice, and looked at the time.He had just 5-6 minutes left for his presentation.He wanted her to be with him.He wanted her to see his final work at college.He was trying to reach her since he arrived last night but her phone was switched off making him restless like anything.She confirmed her phone had gone wrong and she will come soon. As the call ended, he looked around carefully to see if anyone was around. There was none.He just had to be there before the professor caught/called him again for the last and final call.The date for his presentation was originally two days before but he kept on postponing it till he finally became the last one in his batch. Professors couldn't wait any longer , they clearly mentioned it.He had waited all long for her to be there, and he really couldn't wait any longer even if he wants to.

He came out after presentation, not sure what to do next. Perhaps he was shocked to see noone was an audience to the presentation except those two professors. Perhaps he never expected that she wont be there even. He didn't said a word. He didn't said anything even to himself and quietly went down sitting outside college gate giving a hopeful glance to every other bus which passed by.But she didn't came.

Just when his eyes started getting moist someone gave a pat on his back. He turned back in heaven thinking it is she. But again he got disappointment finding it to be one of his batchmates. He gave a last look to his college, thanked and prayed before he entered inside a cab with his friend.

He was still anxious, he was still waiting, he was still hopeful. He kept on looking inside every other bus which passed by from the opposite direction until they reached to the junction where they have to turn away from the bus route. But his conscience told to persist and continue in the same route.They continued and stopped outside a restaurant which he specifically chose as it had see through glasses from where he can still keep an eye on the road.

The moment he came out of the cab, he saw a bus passing by and he saw her. Even she saw him. It was like a miracle for him and he thanked God. The bus went on to the next stop. He was running towards the same knowing that she would get down at the bus stop. He thought she will wait for him after getting down. Perhaps she got down even before the bus stopped. He was half way crossing the road to her side when he saw her very nearby coming to his side. He stopped there...breathing heavily.

As she trotted up to him, their eyes met. It was worth it, he found himself thinking. The agony, the urgency, the tension, the endless wait - it was all worth it.

There she was standing in front of him , milky-white in a brown-colored suit smiling like a Goddess. He was mesmerised. Deep inside..he knew and he felt she was all his......though aware that he was seeing her for one last time and even this wait will not be possible hence forth.
