Sitting beside her in the oblivious Silence:



We sat by the window face to face, with a mug of hot chocolate in my hand and coffee in her. It’s almost midnight now and she is looking at the sky. I just love looking at her sitting in the window. There are no words exchanged between us, just a pure golden silence in the room. Breeze of wind making hair brush her cheeks gently as she gazes at the sky. There is some light in the room from the street lamps, some scarce traffic down the road. She likes the ambience this way, that’s when she finds the sky splendid at nights. She sees the outlines of the mountains at the horizon which look like giants sleeping and glittering lights at the bottom of the mountain. Suddenly she looks at me and smiles a bit. Our eyes meet for a while and she turns her face away back at the dark yet shimmering sky again. I just rest back again continue to linger at her face. All I see is a certain peace and an unknown mystery in her expression on that face. My hot chocolate has almost finished and I sit there holding the mug in my hand. I then realize that her coffee is finished too. She looks at me as I get up to take her cup away. I signal her is she needs more, she nods back in denial with a smile as if saying thank you. I settle back to my place keeping an eye contact with her.
Then she speaks up to apologize for keeping me speechless for all this while. I ask her why she turned this wonderful moment to this by apologizing. She just laughs at me as I smile back at her. She gets up and walks towards the kitchen and disappears behind the door. In few moments she appears back walking towards me with something in her hand. It choco flakes her favorite in bowl, she places it in the space between us as we both start to munch on them. I hear a horn from a truck passing by, the ceiling fan moving at full speed. And a sigh from her, before asking me are we suppose to talk. I chuckle back at her and another chuckle back from her as a response. Then she continues to smile as we finish the flakes ready again to be drawn back in to the oblivious silence.
