When Kamal Meets Kadambari-Episode 1

"What are you doing? Are you supposed to...", she was confused. He smiled. "I love to go to places. I love to admire things around me. And I guess that brings me, soul, to sing", he said. She looked at him. He looked at her and said, "By the way, who are you? Why you came here? Don't say that you came to see me". Without taking a second, she said yes. 

"Well, then follow me", he holds her hand and ran into the rain. After a distance, he brought her to a place. It's all green, green lush grounds with flowers blooming under the sky. He smiled and said, "This is where a singer was born in me".

It was woodland. He entirely lived his childhood over here. Then, he has shifted to town after eleven years. 

He took her into a log cabin over there. The cabin was telling her all the things about him. He's an orphan. His grandfather raised him. He was a street singer during his teenage. That is how Kamal enters the music world. 

"I wonder why you didn't even own a social account". 

"I hate listening to people", he said. "Such an introvert you are", she snickered. Suddenly, he walked close to her. While tucking her hair behind her ears and said, "If only if I had my heart on the person".

She wished if God could freeze this moment in her life. She was seeing herself in his eyes. No words he has explained himself to her till the time they met. There's just a song is playing in her ears, bringing thousands of conversations within them. At this point in her life, She wanted nothing: the moon and the stars around, the chill in the wind, the green in the ground, the blue in the sky and even she don't need this much of space between them. All she wanted is his breath on her. Them warm she was feeling through him even she was soaking wet in rain.

"I guess this is what a devotee prays for,"' she said. He smiled; quickly went and took his guitar. He played a tone. 

She closed her eyes while getting the tone into her soul. She started singing as,

"The beauty that I saw in you the first day;

Has not reduced over these many years.

It’s become habitual for me to dream;

About you whether I am asleep or awake".

He continues as,

"The closer you come towards me;

My heart misses a beat.

Thought this happens every day;

To me, it seems fresh as if it’s

Happening for the first time".

 

They sang together. 

Without a pause, the night and the rain were admiring the nameless bond they had together.
