Love Untold

It was one of those crisp April mornings when the wispy sky reflected the happiness in the air. The sunshine and the spring gave a reason to smile. But how could she especially after what had happened yesterday. It had almost become a daily custom now. With a frown, not wanting to open her eyes, she lay still, recollecting the happenings of yesterday.
Nathan was a wannabe, a prize catch of the circuit. She was a glam doll herself but not as pulsating as Nathan. Gifted with striking features and coupled with brains there was no one you could draw parallels to with Nathan. He was the ad-man of the genre, extremely talented and always wanted. He was a man of sorts but not unblemished. The hitch was that he was of a very shy disposition. Akriti was just the opposite bold, dashing, and out-spoken. She dint ponder over things for a long time thus taking irrational decisions sometimes. She was however very vulnerable.
It had been one of the usual parties. Of late Akriti had noticed soon upon arrival Nathan would be driven away from her by a group of aspiring models or “important clientele”. He was too busy during the day too. Since she hadn’t worked after marriage she left over and lonely. He was that day too absorbed within a flicker of thought and was gone leaving her alone. At night they had had the same row of her being neglected. She was contemplating divorce now.
She got up and walked into the kitchen. He was not at home as usual. She found a note on the coffee table. Her heart skipped a beat as she unfolded the letter and read Nathan’s handwriting,
“Akriti-
Please read through. Yesterday night I had a dream. We were walking on a beautiful winding path around a river. We were enjoying the tranquility of the moment. It led to a mountain and we walked on. The road started becoming steeper and more difficult to tread through but we walked holding each other. At one juncture you saw a beautiful wild flower and asked me to get it for you. Going there and getting it for you would have cost me my life. You knew this but to test my love you said’ “if you love me get me the flower”. I dint get you the flower and I want to tell you why.
Its not that I loved my life more than you but it is because I wanted you to spend every living moment being happy and not add a single tear in your tomorrow. I want to give you a reason to smile. I want to hold your hand and journey through life. I want to look into your eyes and realize the beautiful dreams we saw together and turn them into reality. I want to love you more and get you everything that you ever wanted (except perhaps the flower).
I know I’ve not been able to give you much time lately but it was because I busy trying to fulfill all our dreams and make give you a better tomorrow. I wanted to give us a secure and comfortable future. I’ve realized how silly I’ve been. Maybe I should’ve told you before that the keys to our new car are in your drawer and I was busy trying to get the right color.
I love you a lot Akriti, you complete me and my world. You give me a reason to get up every morning. You add meaning to my life and make it more fruitful. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and loving you more. I know I’ve been foolish and I’m sorry and now if you think you have forgiven me can you please open the door I’m standing there with our today’s eggs, bread and milk.”
