Three long months of waiting felt like forever. She had always picturized this very scene in her head, but with many different beginnings. And yet, nothing had prepared her for the day he walked in. It was all very different from what she had imagined. This was real. He very slowly shut the door behind him and as she stood still, feeling nothing but at the same time feeling everything – an overwhelming experience – he closed the distance between them and hugged her. And then he kissed her, slowly at first and then increasing the tempo sensing her urge too. Time froze. She froze. She clung on to him for support because now the overwhelming emotion had changed to something more known, something familiar – Love. It was this love that had kept her going for the last 11 years. It was this love that had her frustrated in the last 3 months. The video calls, the voice calls, the messages – everything seemed so distant. This was what she had been waiting for. His touch. His very presence that shook her to the core. She knew she was his even before he kissed her. They had discussed this previously. It was the first time they were together after he realized how much he had loved her. After he discovered some really strong and shocking emotions that he thought didn’t exist in him. And his kiss just showed her how much he had missed her. He was frustrated too, for this relationship was not meant to be a “happily ever after”. Yet their love was so strong that they never wanted to stop, knowing the consequences if anyone found out.
It was the last few days before his arrival that irked them both. Time refused to pass by. Days were as stubborn as it could get, not wanting to go into the night. And the nights were the worst. They both felt the anticipation of something beautiful waiting to happen. Something they both wanted and something they both couldn’t give each other for fear of societal taboo.
