There was once an angel, a blue- eyed angel. She met a Cherub with a kindest of brown eyes and a golden heart. She was smitten!! He was something she had waited her whole life for, seen in her dreams and prayed in her prayers. Whenever he would look at her she would go weak in her knees, but she would hide it in the scare of giving away. He was too good to be true, and she would pinch herself always for getting so lucky. He would tell her about the world she had never seen, people she had never met, about other angels, fairies and bright beautiful people. There was always a spark in his eyes when she spoke to her. Her heart had started telling her, he is meant for her. The spark in his eyes started illuminating the lamp of her heart. She started believing in Divine powers. Her prayers which had left her found her again. She suddenly knew God existed!!
But she was scared!! She was damn scared of the shadows which followed her, the ghost which had haunted her for ages. She looked at him with helpless eyes, but a flicker from his eyes, took away that scare. He burnt all her grief with his tender ways. She blossomed!! Like never before, her joy knew no bounds. Her dreams started forming in front of her eyes, the efforts she had taken, the years which had passed in agony became a minuscule in lieu of this exhilaration. She flew towards him in total rejoice.
As she stood in front of him in total surrender, suddenly she saw an emotion so well known to her, mirrored in his eyes. Every time she tried to catch his eyes, he would look behind his shoulder and go a step back. In one instance she caught hold of his hands, took them in her hands and made him stare at her face, which was filled with love. He did submit, but suddenly the same fear flashed in his eyes again. This time he was looking behind HER shoulder. The shadows which she had done away with, came and grabbed him. She fought, the way he had always done for her, she kept on fighting.
Suddenly she lost all her energy, because she realized that the more she fought, he went a bit more further away. She was losing her own blood and trying to hold him with one hand, while she fought with the other. She could hear demons rejoicing at her defeat, she could see he was still looking behind her shoulder. And she just caved in.
Her wings were soaked in her blood, tears flew from her eyes like never before and she pleaded for mercy!! She did not want to lose the Cherub, she did not want to give in, she wanted a happily ever after.
So she just enveloped her bruised wings, and quietly dragged herself to a cave. She wants to sit and pray over there, she wants to sit and wait for her Cherub to come to her. She wants him to look into her eye to eye and tell her that “he believes in her and more than that he believes in THEM”. !! She will only step out, if she has those eyes looking into her eyes, the hands holding her hands and a smile which will stay with her.
She knows that he pains at her injuries, she knows that her tears will fall from his eyes and she knows that the love she has in her heart will find way from his heart!! And she knows that this wait is worth all the troubles and pains they both have been through….She waits for him to find his strength and recognize how beautiful he is….till then she waits….once and always!!
