Scooter Ride

Dear Diary,

Sometimes, we become so busy in our lives that we forget to enjoy little moments. One such realization happened today to me. 

In our house, we generally use our car for all kinds of outside work. And for a long drive, nothing better can amuse us than it. Few days back, my husband brought his old scooter from our previous house. He told me that it was bought around 15 years back and it is currently not in good condition to be used for any long distance work. Also, it loses its balance and goes in a random direction while moving. 

Today morning, out of the blue, he asked me if I was willing to go for a ride with him on that scooter. I was very reluctant in the beginning with the thought of scooter’s present condition. My family members also warned us to not use it, still my husband remained adamant on his proposal. He was confident that he could drive it safely. With all the opposition from home, we took the key and started our ride.

The ride which started with doubt of returning back safely turned into fun. The vehicle kept on shaking and my husband kept on controlling it somehow. Whenever it shook, he used to tell me that it was going out of control and we started to scream a little on the road. This resulted in a lot of laughter. We still decided to continue our ride like some action movie’s couple. He showed me his friend's house from outside, his gym and places related to his childhood. Those moments had a lot of peace as if we were enjoying Sunday morning. With our today’s experience, we both decided to go occasionally on that ride to relive all such important moments which can be cherished throughout life.
