HUSH...............

The car sped through the road that was lined with trees bearing bright yellow flowers. Spring has indeed arrived. She could feel the verve of the season inside her. She looked out of the car’s window, admiring the landscape, a flutter in her heart. He sat beside her, driving and talking almost nonstop. Thoughts flooded her mind…will life be always as pleasant as this drive? Will he remain ever so cheerful? She was whisked away into a world of dreams whenever he was with her. Was it love? She thought. She knew he was watching her and was anticipating her to speak up. But she could hardly say something. Words didn’t matter much to her. It was just being close to him which mattered. She wondered if he would understand how she felt. Could he ever comprehend her joy while being with him? They drove on. It was almost dusk. A soothing instrumental number on the car stereo made her feel that life can’t be more beautiful!! She silently prayed that it stays that for her, always. She recalled the unforgettable moments of walking hand in hand on a muddy pathway through a paddy field earlier that afternoon. The light drizzle made the experience so blissful. She wished that he knew how much she loved every moment with him. Did he think her to be too shy and reticent? But she loved being silent, taking comfort in his presence. She wanted to let silence prevail as they drove on under the starry sky. Was it boring for him? Honestly, she did not care. Love is to be felt in silence rather than expressed in words…words didn’t mean much to her, anyway...
