April 23, Part II

Today evening was just perfect. When I woke up from my noon nap, I had a small Pooh waiting for on my laptop, a small gesture by someone to make me feel special & better after a rather heavy afternoon. All I could do was Smile . Meeting Piyushbhai after 4 yrs, reviving old childhood memories was really soothing. Was getting into a nicer mood.

The best part was the drive afterward, which cannot be described but am still gonna try my best, to keep the memory fresh.

Nick just said we were going for a drive but I had no idea wat was in store for me. I thought it would just be a small after dinner drive n then back home. With Bon Jovi playing in the background, we took off. We took a road I don’t think had been before. Nick said he was taking me to a special place. Then it occurred that I was going to have the privilege that very few have had of seeing yet another secret special place of his. By the way, I am one of the very few people in this world who has seen & has these special secret places that only Nick & I know of. So here we were, driving on & on, windows down, the air getting cooler n cooler and chilly breeze blowing the hair off my face. As I said earlier, the feelings flowing through me just can’t be described. As we starting going further, civilization just kept getting decreasing till there was nothing around, just the trees, mountains, stars & us beneath them taking in all we could.

We were just going on n on & I had no idea whatsoever where we were going, despite asking Nick numerous times. He just kept on saying that it was someplace special. I didn’t mind as I was enjoying the lovely weather n the awesome road. Just felt like staying there, living the moment for as long as I could.

Then finally, Nick asked me to close my eyes. I did. He stopped the car n then swore. Apparently, the view for which we had come so far for, no longer existed. There was supposed to be a lovely lake below the valley, but the lake was no longer there. So Nick was highly disappointed. But then I said the drive & weather were even lovelier so I didn’t mind.

We finally started on our way back. The music was already switched off so that we could take in the aroma & touch of Mother Nature. Then we started talking. We started off just jabbering about usual stuff. Then the topic came to dogs n we both just couldn’t stop. I got senti in between remembering my separation from Casper. We both love dogs. We both were weighing the pros and cons of getting one now. So by the end of our discussion/debate, we decided we shall get one soon as soon as our work stuff gets settled.

Then slowly civilization started reappearing and I swore under by breath. The drive back was coming to an end so quickly. We switched the music back on and finally came home.

I felt so nice that the day went so well and thanked God for another awesome & memorable day in my life.
