Weekends are always relaxing. After a tiresome week at office I enjoy sleeping as much as I can on the weekends. It was once such Sunday morning. Dated 3rd September. Time was probably 8 o'clock. Suddenly my phone started vibrating. I hate it when somebody disturbs my sleep. Too dreamy to speak I picked up my cell. It was Sagar, my boyfriend. Too feebly I spoke " Hello".
Sagar : Hey sweetheart..still sleeping?
Me: (Yawning) Yes darling.. Its sunday na...
Sagar: (Smiling) Hmmmm
Me: What happened?? Why are you smiling?
Sagar: Nothing... I just love it when you yawn like a baby.. I wish I could see you.
Me: (Smiling) Umm.
Sagar : Now get up darling , I have a surprise for you. Dont you want to see Ranbir Kapoor's movie? I tried hard to get 2 tickets.. Please dear dont be late. I will be waiting for you at Priya Cinemas sharp 10 o'clock.
Hearing that I sat up on the bed.
Me: What 10 a.m ?? Its 8 already now? OMG .. Why didnt you tell me before?
Sagar : (Laughing) I told you na... surprise...
Me: Youuuuuuuu. Always spoiling my sleep.
I hung up. Quickly got out of the bed. I was rushing to get ready to go out. My mom insisted that I take umbrellas with me and be back on time in the evening. Though I hate taking umbrellas yet I cannot turn down her requests. After all its mother's love.
At sharp 10 o'clock I reached Priya cinemas. It was a beautiful morning with the Sun shining brightly as if it was too enjoying a relaxed Sunday. My mood automatically gets better to see such a wonderful morning.
I could see Sagar standing while I crossed the roads.
Sagar : Sorry darling the show is at 11 a.m . We still have 1 hour.
Me : What ?? You just said you have got the tickets and it is at 10 o'clock..
Sagar : I actually lied to you. Sorry darling.. I just stood in the line for 1 hour to buy the tickets. My internet was down. I knew how much you would like the movie though Ranbir Kapoor cannot love you more than me. Still it will make my girl happy.
Now who would not be happy to hear such great words.. Yes I was smiling at them and was being proud of him. And thinking how unpredictable he is at times..
Me: So.... you finally got the tickets?
Sagar : Yup...2 balcony tickets.
Me: So now..where to go? There isnt a place where we can sit.
Sagar: Lets go to a shopping mall. Lets c how can we spend the idle time.
We started walking towards Ballygunge. Its a long distance. I swear I would never have walked all those distance had this been some other day. But with Sagar.. even the big distance looked small. I never knew I could walk with so energy. We chatted, visited shops, bought cold drinks and finally came back at 11 o'clock. Needless to say the movie was awesome. Being a die hard admirer of Ranbir Kapoor my interests were too intrigued. Sagar was getting jealous in between and I was secretly enjoying his jealousy.
After that we headed for Park Street where we had an awesome lunch. And never missed out his favourite chocolate ice cream . His second love..I always liked his innocence for his chocolate ice cream. No matter which type of dish do we have it always have to end up with chocolate ice cream. No other flavor allowed.
We spend some time shopping and walking round the streets of Park Street. It was just then when his phone rang and his mother called him immediately because there was an urgency. We hurried to the metro station. Quickly bought the tickets. The train would be arriving within a couple of minutes. As we hurried through the steps I stumbled and was about to fall when I just regained my balance. Sagar was in front of me. He kept on running without looking back at me. The train arrived. It was a busy time then God knows why and people were rushing. I was irritated to see so much rush even on Sunday. Was trying my best to catch up with him but somehow the crowd was pushing me out. Amidst such a crowd I could see Sagar getting up on the train. I thought to myself how much does he panicked the moment his mom calls him. Will she eat him up if he is a minute or two late? Whats the point in hurrying at the top of your breath?
But somehow I could not make it to the door. I kept on screaming Sagar's name. I couldnt see him. The crowd continued to push me, shout at me but I paid no heed. I kept on looking for Sagar. No. There was no sign of him. Where was he? Where did he go? Thoughts and worries were racing my mind and piercing like a spear. Meanwhile the train left...
Suddenly I sat up on the bed, horrified, sweating and taking deep breaths.
It was 3rd September, a sunday morning. Time 8 o'clock. The sun was shining at its best . The birds were chirping . All in all a happy and joyful holiday mood was prevailing.
Slowly I calmed down. I was dreaming. Its been more than 2 years since we broke up. I felt a tinge of tears at one corner of my eye. I couldnt understand what does this tear signify? Is it because I remembered those days or is it because I still miss that person and my pains have again taken a front seat no matter how much I try to push them back? I slowly got out of the bed with no hurry to go somewhere else. I smiled to myself and said " Whatever be it , I have to move on."
Sagar : Hey sweetheart..still sleeping?
Me: (Yawning) Yes darling.. Its sunday na...
Sagar: (Smiling) Hmmmm
