A Dream

“Dear Sumi,

How are you, my love? Sorry, I couldn’t contact you for so long.

I want to share my dream with you in which I could feel us sharing the amazing emotion called ‘love’ even after so many years. We were in a hill station on a romantic trip. Dark shadows of trees were drawing beautiful designs on the lonely road. Hand in hand we were walking like teenagers enjoying the beauty of pine trees, blue hills, green mountain slopes, gushing streams and flower-strewn valleys. Forest and bushes were covering the mountains in a mantle of green looking like a carpet. Somewhere far away, a nightingale was singing a love song calling its lover. I remembered our favourite songs rekindling our love for each other…

The mist was covering the mountains like a white veil. There was a sweet fragrance of wildflowers in the wind. The time had come to a standstill and there were only the two of us in a different world of trance.

Sitting on the grass we enjoyed the beauty of the sunset. A sad song was coming from the valleys. I held you close to me, wiped your tears and requested you to smile. I told you that your dazzling smile was like a rainbow in the sky coming up when there is both sunlight and drizzling. Your smile comes straight from the heart and it takes my heart away.

Sumi, I miss you a lot darling.

-Your Anirudh.”
