Payal - Priceless Gift

6 am - A December morning.

She was trying to hide her face to the mirror. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down proudly on those elegant eyelashes.Those ears along with the nose framed a picture perfect face.Sprinkle of freckles here and there over her face made it so attractive.A set of dazzling white teeth shined as she blew gently on her purple fingernails. It was a pleasure to see her free flowing black brown streaked hair. Her enticing, eyes gazed at me over her provocative lips - Payal the priceless gift of the gods.

Payal had that confidence within that no man can resist her beauty , and was hoping to see him today.
He boards the same metro, not all days but she does not miss seeing him at-least 4 days in a week

Stepped out , she saw it was drizzling ,sky was tar-black and the large clouds were moving towards her. she heard a tapping on the window and then it became a pitter-patter. People ran for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds started to pour down water. Puddles began emerging as the rainfall became heavier. The roofs of the cars danced with spray.Unwrapped her purple umbrella and started to walk on those puddles , the ones she missed felt affronted of their very existence.

8:46 am Majestic Metro Station

She was waiting, not for the metro but for him, every man passed by did not hesitate to have glance at her.Peach colored salwar made it more attractive with her natural skin tone, her eyes was hunting for him, it apparently started to believe its him looking at everyone, but mind clearly rejected the request.

She boarded the 8:55 train.He was running parallel to the train , boarded it in style , but today he was with some-her.He held that some-her inside holding the waist with his strong muscular fore-arm.That sight broke Payal's heart into pieces , she wanted to cry , wanted to jump out of the moving machine

She saw the scene,he was saying sorry to some-her , but she was acting so weird.That some-her sounded angry and upset.He then smiled at the some-her and handed a brown bag.The train was nearing the next station and was approaching to halt ,some-her grabbed the brown bag and threw it across the coach and off the train she walked away.

Payal saw he was hurt, so much hurt.She wanted to hug him right there and make him feel better.
He looked at everyone in the coach with a shade of embarrasment and then looked at "Payal", the first time he smiled at her and boarded off the train.

Few weeks later

Payal was on the same metro,  he boarded the train, yes after weeks.
Sudden happiness bloomed all over her face , endorphins everywhere.She dint want to wait anymore she went and introduced herself to him
He said - "Yes i have seen you often in this local, glad to meet you" he sounded sulky.

From then on she met him often in the metro and they became friends, he then shared his story about some-her.And said how much he wasted his time with some-her, never knowing that its not love that he had on some-her.Payal felt happy hearing that, so happy.

Payal decided to tell him about her feelings,  asked for dinner.

8 PM  Grand Palace Restaurant

He was waiting, it was 15 mins past the time that they both had agreed.
Payal dint turn up
His phone buzzed - "Hello Payal. Not able to make it?"
Payal - "Sorry for the wait.I indeed came an hour earlier and waiting outside.A little nervous as i planned and wanted to tell you something very important"
He said with a slight confused voice - "Oh ok please come in , we will talk"

Couple of mins later

Payal walked towards him
She flicked her hair and walked elegant carrying the beautiful reddish green saree,exposing some of her pure white skin.The curves of her hips feast to everyones eyes,the sound of her bangles music to everyone ears.The dark black kajal on her big dark eyes.Payal indeed is priceless gift of the gods

He looked at her , he was surprised , cannot believe of what he is seeing,walked towards her, assisted and accompanied her to the dinner table

They sat quiet.He looked at her and the saree.
She was all set and getting ready to tell him her wish.She breathed heavily.
He was still looking at the saree,surprised, his eyes and stare made her week did not allow to utter a word out of her mouth.

Silence.

He with some tears wetting his eyes,smiled and said - "Payal , i want to marry you and make you my life"

Years later

"Payal its getting late, its been more than 2 hrs you are dressing up"
It was their 3rd wedding anniversary, Payal came out all dressed up.
He froze , yes its the Reddish Green Saree ,
  • the one that put him on the happiest boat of his life journey.
  • the one that some-her wanted to trash
  • the one that got him the priceless gift of the gods Payal
who you deserve and who deserves you will find their way together.
