That dream thing...

That dream thing/ to witness a miracle

It was late winter short days and long beautiful cold nights. I loved that cold fresh air blowing through out our little world, it was quite far outside the city so was for us our little world of dreams and hopes. At night from terrace of our hostels  we could see bright lights of the city at same time enjoying calm surrounding and cold wind. On some nights the beautiful full moon joined us in festival of thoughts as I used to stay up till late with self. And on other nights the stars would make it shining out of dark only witness of ……!

Like every collegian life was moving fast. Every day had something new to excite us. For sometime I almost forgot that this time too may pass.

There were lots of dreamers and believers. Listening to them made me wonder often how this people can believe so strongly in things which might never happen, in age of euphoria people lived with hopes of love and miracles, feeling were at its high tide. I was more realistic, needed reasons to believe in something.

On an evening around same time we were sitting on a bench talking about random things as we used to spent most of our lazy evenings with friends. It wasn't my favorite hobby but being a good listener I was enjoying shades on clouds and views the setting sun was picturing before us with talks of a believer, innocent romantic dreams inspired of Bollywood movies perhaps, didn’t attract me that much but being with a close friend changes the way you think about your likes. You don’t judge your friends no matter what, you accept them as they are and that makes you comfortable around them and vice versa, that’s beautiful thing about friendship, acceptance. In relations we have to bring acceptance but in friendship it comes naturally. Time flies truly said when you start living in the moment enjoying every bit of it, as it went that day. Sun set on his way to bring new morning on land in other part of world.

The day turned into night, We were still talking apart of the fact that I was barely speaking. We are always excited about doing something for the first time, it’s a totally different experience whether its driving for first time or our first flight or first day of college that’s always special. Some of us have a dream about how certain experience should go specially for the first time, like they dream about perfect marriage. That dream was also one of the same kind, as I heard there was cold wind with tree leaves blowing around with them and dim lights in a less crowed place, list still goes on lightnings and most importantly someone special. I took a deep breath thinking how silly was that no doubt people have dreams but wasn't that little too much for the perfect coincident? It could happen but still as the dreamer demanded it should be very first, who can stop a believer? It could take a life time for such dreams to come true but innocent believers pray to god for such dreams to come true as also happened that day. I would have laughed out on that if there would be someone else but contrary when i looked to praying face that look on the face of the dreamer changed my thoughts though I wasn't a believer I decided not to interrupt.

I looked around, the surrounding was calm, we were sitting near the big gate of campus which was always crowed and the holy temple in front of the gate made of white marble shining in lights of fox lights and few people walking around and trees were steady as if resting after whole days tiring work. It wasn't that late but it was very less crowded that day, slow breeze was blowing waves at beach, there was silence like of before storm. out of somewhere it started blowing heavily, awaking the sleepy trees around with few drops of rain accompanied them. It amazed us both how drastically the climate changed it kept blowing and raining briskly, brisk enough that not to wet our clothes. “I think we should leave I” said but who was listening? A smiling happy soul was busy enjoying the brisk thunder, and instead of answering the question she hold my hand. I liked the warmness in that cold night. As if that touch transferred the thoughts I stopped. There started lightning with loud noise, we could only see the flesh one after another scaring her, and she hugged me. there struck one more putting us in dark as all lights went off, it was a totally different place that time. In heat of that moment the most beautiful lips struck to my lips as we closed our eyes we forgot the world around us as were in a wonderful place between heaven and hell. It lasted for a short time but we don’t know how long we stayed there. We fall down to earth as soon as the lights came back and we watched the surrounding everything was changed or maybe we were. There was warmth and without words were having the best conversation we ever had. We still were holding hands but the bond was different than ever before. We couldn’t speak anything but smile and euphoria took over all the thought in our mind. Time was frozen in that moment and hearts was beating fast synchronizing to each other. It was still cold and lighting was still striking but nothing could fetch our attention after what had struck us. That’s how she dreamed of her first kiss to be I realized and she did too. Miracle, I thought such coincident can happen so rare but so true that we call it miracles.

That night had changed me much. Also the way I used to see life. I knew for sure always that life is uncertain but it could bring such surprises was out of my imagination. There is someone who listens your stupidest prayer and your wildest dream. And believers who have no doubt in him occasionally watch their dream come true. Most important is to dream wither it comes true or not and to believe faithfully in it. Dreams make life lively. Though few people achieve their dreams those who have one adds meaning to their life. As people remember all the first experience I would too always remember that day as I witnessed three things a miracle, a dream coming true and the first kiss. That also taught me to be optimist about things no matter how the realities may seem at that time we don’t know when out of nowhere a small blow of wind can turn the scene 360*. May be there is something like destiny and things happen the way they ment to be. We cant control the big universe but surely we can dream about and prey for our dreams to come true. Try it and try often who knows you might witness a miracles too.
