My Cute Angel - Part I

Feb 02, 2009

She looked more beautiful when the lights from the moving vehicles fell on her.

Oh My God, I will be going on looking at those beautiful innocent eyes forever!

We had been trying to cross the road for the past ten minutes. But every time, I made an attempt to step forward, she gave me a frightened look. It was quite obvious that with the speeding vehicles, newbie’s to this city will be afraid to cross the road.

“This is not going to work, Riya. We have to cross the road to get into the car.” Saying that, I took her hands in mine, they were tiny and feather like compared to mine. I could clearly sense her reluctance in holding on to my hands.

Well, it might take her some more time to consider me as her own. Definitely, I need to think from her side – how it will feel to accept this relation of becoming a new member to our family, of having so many new relations by leaving the place where she was brought up, all in a sudden!!

When the traffic lightened a bit, I stepped forward. But she stood adamantly over there without any intention of moving. Only then I got with her gaze. They were going in another direction – to the shop on the left.

Few people had gathered around to admire the dress hanging on the front window of the shop. It was a lovely frock in white satin with white roses pinned on to it.
“You need that?”

No answer.

“I mean…. You liked it?”

Still, there was no answer.

“Ok fine…. I thought of getting it for you. But it seems like you are….”

I just couldn’t complete that sentence as her eyes were saying everything. She was pleased to hear that I thought of buying it. But, still only one thing perturbed me….. Why she is not letting me know of her likes and dislikes? What she wants…Her dreams …Sometimes, at a later time she herself might tell me all her stories, her dreams, her likes and dislikes. There is nothing much which I can do rather than wait for that moment to come!!
At last, we were able to cross the road.

New morning brings in new hopes. I woke up and looked around. She was not there. Where can she go? All kinds of thoughts went through my mind.

I went to the balcony; there she was looking at the rising sun across the beach. I could see her, my sun shine.

“You like to watch the sunrise, dear?”

No answer.

“Ria, If I am asking you something, Make sure that you reply “.Without knowing I raised my voice.

“Hmmm…..”

She replied and went inside with those cute eyes filled.

I shouldn’t have said so…. Oh God, What’s this? We had hardly spoken 5 to 6 sentences before and here, I raised my voice?

“Riya…....Riya” I went inside. She had already crept onto the bed and pulled over the blanket.

“I am sorry”. She didn’t even look at me.

“Riya…I said I am sorry….” I gave her a sorry gesture.

I saw her lips curving in a smile. It’s the first time; she had smiled back even if it is for the funny expression I had made. For her happiness, I don’t mind being a joker!!

It’s her first breakfast with everyone after her arrival to our house. I went and took my seat and she slowly pulled the seat next to me. Everyone around the table except one has not yet accepted her as a part of our family.

Something is not right here they feel so; I can’t blame them, for she has entered into our family in such a way. But for me she is more than anything….. She is my angel, my little angel!

- To be contd.
