13th January 2013( something bigger than a surprise)
Early winter morning
of 12th January 2014, at around 5 Am, my grandma woke me up as I
have to leave Samdrup jongkhar the very day by any means because I have to
reach Phuentsholing on latest by 14th due to my booked train ticket
to return back to college on mid day of 15th. As I woke up, I felt
like I have just spent a day ago with my parents in Bhutan, looking at the time
that approach so fast for me to return back and no sooner without thinking
much, then I washed my face, got dressed up and had breakfast and by that time finally
time has came to depart with my parent’s and felt so heavy. Where, unlike
before it was deep sadness that tear me half way, as I depart and seeing my
Grandma and Mommy crying and seeing the
sad faces of Grandpa, Daddy, Sister,
brothers and other relative but how ever I stand not to as they would worry more.
Then I started my journey and by early evening I reach down and was receive by
my sister in law, tshoki and her friend. And shortly we came to room, talk a
while and they left back to their room and I was all alone in room by myself
and then started making call to my parents to inform that I reach safely and
then finally made call to woman of my heart. We conversed as usual teasing,
making fun and yup doing crazy and then after while I went to nearby restaurant
to take dinner and then went to shop for voucher, buying some toiletries and to
arrange the cab to move to Phuentsholing the next day.
I never like to be alone whenever I travel, as its total
boring and don’t know what to do. Moreover,
it’s too lonely. By then it was almost 10
pm and I ringed back to my girl friend and as usual we talked about the day,
had fun joking, teasing in the phone and yap most importantly in our
conversation I asked repeatedly like I have done number of times when I was
already in the home to come to meet me before I leave to my college, as I would
desperately miss her as I know how struggling it is to be far and a year being
far from her taught me everything, but she refused and yap indeed, It was
understandable , as she was busy most of the day with internship stuffs in Chukha
hydro project and moreover as she stay
with her brother ,where she made me clear already that he is strict and report
everything whatever happens to her to mommy, so with no single say I
consider all her problems and didn't asked her again, and shortly she paused me saying in low dim voice,
“tsagye sorry, I didn't mean that I don’t want to meet you , but there Is no
choice.” And explained everything and tried so much to make me feel better as
always but still then light inside was getting dimmer, as I really can’t
imagine leaving for college without meeting her. I felt lonelier, sad and
didn't find any way and reasons to be happy and after that with goodnight kiss
we hang our phone.
It was already midnight as we hang our call and no sooner
had I try to get sleep as I have to wake up early for the tomorrow’s journey
then the particular feeling and thought of not getting able to meet her flooded
in making me die inside so pathetically and made sleeping really difficult.
Moreover it was so lonely like those wandering stars in the azure sky all alone
in the big haunted room. Struggling
moving side to side, turning up and down,
trying to stop of thinking to get
sleep, after long while I was off to
sleep, but didn't knew how sleep came over, as it was not that easy that night
to get a sleep as I look.
The very next morning, at around 5 am I manage to wake up,
washed my face and then call cab to ask when we’re taking off. Driver was so
kind and told me that he will call me when’re about to leave and ask me to stay
in room as it’s cold outside and moreover as I would to have wait as they were
searching for more passenger. However, I went to the cab parking which is of
3 minute walk from my room to reach my brief case as it was difficult for me to
carry all bags at once and to make sure everything is confirm. And then I went
to one of the restaurant for breakfast, as I have to bear through all inside the
cab travelling long and tiresome journey.
At around 6 past 30, I got a call from the driver and then
rush with bags to parking but still 2 passenger has not turn up, so we have to wait
and in mean while, other passenger’s start sitting and making themselves
comfortable and I was outside busy making call to mom to inform that I am about
to start my journey and most importantly to wish tsagyem as it was our special
day (13th) and wanted her to be happy smiling from morning, which
means a lot to me. After almost 20 to 25 minutes they did turn up and we
started our journey at around 7 am in the morning. The morning was warm, fresh,
clear and totally silent except for those chirping birds, fast moving wheels of
the cab and monk reciting prayer just right next to me. After a while the monk
stop reciting prayers and then he broke the silence in the cab talking to me
and started our conversation questioning each other smiling where we’re from,
to where we’re heading and talking much stuff even about the life and yup he
was kind enough to advice me, talk to me and by then my loneliness, boredom
were lost in laughter and smiles and like in a minute of time I felt like we
have reached to place where everyone travelling this road rest for an
hour taking lunch and all. But our driver continued our journey without
resting, as most of the passenger inside the cab I am travelling were busy sleeping,
some fighting with motion sickness hoping every minute to reach destination fast and yup, inside I was
feeling sorry for them. Again then I started conversing with a monk and after
while he too has fallen to sleep, by
then only two of us were awake( driver and me) , with silence taking over again
and yap, thought of talking with driver and make journey interesting but I was
in the last sit, so there was no choice.
After almost 3 hours from the lunch time with silence and
total boredom, we reach Phuentsholing very early evening and then everyone got
dispersed excitingly. But Like them, I didn't have any excitement and moreover
I felt so lethargic and blue. However as I have to spend my night in hotel
(though I have my uncle staying in phuentsholing I have never choose to stay
and love to be spend over), then I rushed to hotel where I used to stay most of
the time when I travel managing one porter as I could not carry all of my bags
together and in mean while going to hotel, I switch on my mobile, suddenly in
no second I receive a call from my only tsagyem, although I was sad as she was not coming, but
her call always mean a lot to me and without holding even a bit I picked her
call. She told me in the phone that, “thinking my tsagye is upset and down
looking at his poor tsagyem, I managed at least to call to my friend to book
room for you in my name.” And yup she
told me to go directly to the hotel and cross check her name with room number
and go to the room as her friend is waiting there.
I rushed to the hotel and yup saw her name in 6th
and cross checked the room number and went to room. When I reached there, the
hotel cleaner was cleaning the room and I was just wondering where her friend
is, as she was nowhere to find and in mean while I gave money to porter and then
upon arranging my bags inside keeping on the table and bed, I saw one cute
little bag which was exactly the same which I have gifted to her on the table.
Once I thought, my tsagyem must have turned up but smiling, I thought again I
must be being silly as her friends must have that similar bag too, and then I
came outside the balcony to give room cleaner a time to clean the room. As I came outside, I don’t know how to
describe how I felt, but I have one particular feeling that “no matter how much
sad you feel you are, happiness is always right next when you turn when your
important person in life is there for you” this is the magic of a love. She, my angel, woman of my heart, was just
their leaning beautifully on the balcony.
Her cheek was on her
hand, Faced down.
And with the closing step that I took,
In minute of time she turned an angle exactly moving her
head to look,
There, she was exactly like beautiful rising sun,
Rising above the balcony so greatly glowing,
With the single turn, her hair flowed dressing
naturally;
It was like nature art drawn beautifully.
And I could see her smile not just on lips but even in the
eyes,
Making me almost cries.
She walked toward me innocently and fairly.
But I was still lost in the magic of huge joys madly.
And With my hand over her, hugging so tight,
It was a like drinking water in desert with huge thirst.
And was a moment that I shed tears of huge joys with
indefinable happiness, over the magical surprise,
I don’t how much she discovered
how I felt, but I really want to know that, it was something, something more
than a special, a big surprise, a big day on our day and moreover, simply she
made me feel simply on the top of world, where I just felt like shouting loud,
louder than anything, saying, “I love you so much pelden.” In life, no matter what, how much ever we’re
sad, upset or over blues, the happiness
take no time to get rid all this from us. I feel so much blessed to have a lady
who is down to earth.
