My birthday was approaching and I hadn’t had any
clue yet whether Rahul was coming down for my b’day or not. As was his
business, he spent half a month in Mumbai and the rest here with me, in Kolkata.
We spoke everyday but neither he nor I talked about my impending b’day. He – I
didn’t know why and I – because I didn’t want to force him to be here or remind
him of it in case he had forgotten. We have been together for 5 yrs now and I
always thought he understood me well. He did! For, the very next morning I was
mailed a flight ticket and a short note which read – “Since I cannot be there,
I want you to be here on your special day” undersigned by Rahul. I was
overwhelmed with this gesture. Couldn’t help marveling over whatever it was
that transported our unspoken thoughts to each other.
