Four years of waiting, and it came to this. His heart beat as if intending to escape its cage. His hands trembled irrepressibly. As he raised his eyes, his deeper-self reckoned. All the waiting was worth every inch of what stood in front of him!
Two hours earlier, he
was deeply immersed into the early Saturday live Premier League fever, in the
comfort of his brother and his wife. The niceties were set and the beers chilled.
Arsenal FC was playing. This was the place to be. Ten minutes into the game,
his mobile phone buzzed; the call, triggered convulsions in his veins, as his skin filled with goose
bumps. The gods truly
must have gone crazy!
“I called you” she had
finally broken the silence. “to say I’m breaking up with you!” Heart wrenching
as this sounded, he was not about to let it show. Much as he longed for her, this
day was inevitable. Gathering the last drain of energy left, he asked for a
final hug, and headed towards the door.
“Will you walk away
that easily?” she demanded, as she squeezed in between him and the door. She
looked into his eyes and felt him searching deep into her soul. She squinted at
him through her hardened eyes, and saw the jealous lover he was struggling to
hide. Every muscle in his face was tense and without a word he communicated
intense mistrust, anger, and despising. But there she stood. In between him and
the only exit, glaring and seething. She reached for his right hand and gently slid it inside her blue denim skirt. Rubbing it gently and rhythmically over her outer genitalia, she whispered into his ear. “Is that how shallow you
want this?”
They locked eyes for a
while, him struggling to ascertain this predicament, and her eager to write home her intentions. A while ago, she had stricken him with an aggrieving
break up notice. And yet, the despairing chill that his dark brown eyes
conveyed earlier suddenly gave out to something amiable. He opted to look away,
but before he could, she leaned forward, and planted her supple lips upon his. Their
lips locked briefly, and then again. When they opened their eyes, she let out a
small but encouraging smile, and in that moment he knew that his long wait was
at the beginning of its end.
