Wednesday, today I went to church with my mother, it was my last novena which I started for her good health and as per my family tradition, Mom offers food to all the poor people (Beggars) who sit outside the church. It had been almost five weeks passed when I saw her in the church and since then I been regularly following her in the church premises. I knew where she sits, when she comes in the church and from where she moves out as every week I kept noticing her from top (My regular place, 1st floor in church).
I wanted to show her to mom, but the problem was she sits at the back bench whereas Mom sits right in the front bench near alter; I believe that’s her favourite place too. I kept peeping behind to see her presence in the church, but was unable to find her due to over crowd in church. Mom got pissed off on me looking at my weird behaviour. I told Mom that I wanted to show someone to her but I’m not able to find. She in her strict voice warns me to concentrate in Novena and do my last prayers peacefully.
The rest of the novena was done smoothly that day with me trying hard to concentrate as much as I can. At the end Mom out of nowhere, spoke up – Yes now tell me what was you saying before, Astonished, but I spoke - There is a girl whom I like and wanted to show you though I don’t know much about her as I have seen her only few times till now.
Soon mom began to ask questions one after the other like a detective…
What’s her Name?
Don’t know.. I replied silently
What she do?
No Idea!!!
Where did you find her?
Yes, I know this one … At the railway station, was my instinct reply.
As the conversation between me and mom was still going I turned around to see her. It was my good luck, that she went pass by my side to kiss the Virgin Mary’s picture, kept in front of the alter, all the past weeks I been noticing her but she never came to kiss the Mary’s picture kept in the front. A thought ran in my mind – there is some connection between her and me, things happened and happened for a good reason. I pointed out towards her as she stood in the line.
She wore a plain blue shirt and a black jeans, wow she look incredibly beautiful, I just kept watching her as she moves slowly towards the picture. I notice even mom noticing her… she kissed the Mother Mary’s picture and left from the other side. Mom with the sign of acceptance and a smile on her face said she is very beautiful and good too, but do you know anything about her?
I said, not much... But she works in my OFFICE… Huh!!!
