Another piece from the novel. Requesting some critics to take a look..


I looked at her and stood there frozen. As I was growing up I was imbued with several manners but currently I seemed to forget them. I walked forward and greeted Mrs. Sharma. I had seen her earlier several times but today it was so intentional, that even on trying I couldn't subside my nervousness. Gautam returned after parking the car and smiled at me. My eyes oscillated between him and her. He looked at me indicated to move further to meet her. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and pressed my lips before putting on an elated smile. I respected her through the momentary encounters we occasionally had.
She came towards me in an off-white silk sari. It had golden border, her specs were resting on nose and a crystal bead strand was holding it at the edges. She looked elegant. I wondered if I would ever look like that. As she came closer to me, her smile made me reciprocate. Today for the first time it seemed like I knew her from ages.While I was about to raise my hands to greet her she hugged me. I widened my eyes and looked surprisingly at Gautam resting my chin on her shoulder. He smiled and shrugged.She parted from me and caressed my head. ‘Gautam, bet I know what you saw in her’ she bowed her head and looked at him through the gap above her specs. Gautam blushed while I was too embarrassed to say anything.Gautam accompanied me inside the house. It was a beautifully decorated home full of greenery. The interior was cozy and warm a there were lots of bonsai plants in every possible space of the room. The room smelled of a plant nursery. The plants were welcoming and I felt at ease immediately. The house was decorated by Gautam's mother.Everything kept in the room seemed to define it's own space and integrity. Like all that existed in the house had an importance and nothing was out of place. Whatever was occupying the house or its surrounding seemed to be the righteous owner of it's area.I felt nervous at her brilliance and my ignorance, would I be take care of the home like she did. She certainly was an angel. Shreya stepped out all of a sudden. I was delighted to see her. She looked even more familiar to me than Mrs. Sharma.‘Hi miss colleague’ she spoke and winked Gautam an eye. I pressed my lips not knowing what to say. Gautam was laughing in the corner.

Wow... I feel as though that really happened! Nice piece to post during a Grand Earth Trine! Love it!... And I hope it really IS real for you, somewhere, whether on Earth or in your Beautiful Imagination.

Imaginations and Dreams... really DO and Can Come True! It's the stuff (material) that the Universe draws its inspirations from. And maybe even GAVE to us to Dream into existence.

Relationships, too. We meet one another in the ones we Love.

Namaste to you. May your spiritual-marriages made in heavenly places, appear now also on this earthplane for you. May you Have your Soul's Highest Desires.

Thank you for reading and posting you comments mirage. It's a piece from the love story I've written. It'll be a pleasure if I find the partner that I desire. True, marriages are made in heaven. Our partners are somewhere out there lol. Hope is to be kept alive in order to survive right

The music was quite complementary.

On what Mirage has written. "Imaginations and Dreams... really DO and Can Come True! It's the stuff (material) that the Universe draws its inspirations from. And maybe even GAVE to us to Dream into existence."
