Destiny

It's 11:45pm and I feel so sleepy. Whole day long I have been working and I feel so tired right now but still my eyes are wide open. I look at the clock, still 14 minutes to go. Tick tock, tick tock, I see the minute bar of the clock constantly moving. TIME and DESTINY are those two golden words which just makes me feel speechless. So ironic right?

I know, you must be wondering what am I talking about. Well, I am talking about "HER". You know, she is turning 18 in a few minutes, yes, it's her birthday. I am so glad today and obviously I want to be the first person to wish her but I just feel like time is moving so fast. Seems like yesterday when we celebrated her 17th birthday and now I see her, it's been an year but still I feel like it's a matter of a while ago. At times, I feel so strange when I see life and time taking new turns and exploring new junctures so fast. Is it magic or is it destiny?

DESTINY, a small word with a really big significance. I feel no matter what we think, what we plan, what we desire. Whatever is written, is written and it will happen no matter what. Yes, in this past 1 year, we argued, we faught and even broke up but still we got to be together and this is what destiny is. Those who are meant to be together, will be together. May be that's why even after so many cumbersome problems I am again here, waiting, waiting to wish her on her birthday. I didn't even realize when the clock struck 12. I called her, she picked, I was silent for a moment, a tear dropped from my eye. "Atleast wish me you fool" she said amusingly.

I wiped my small tear and said "I love you so much" She seemed a bit stunned but I could feel how glad she was hearing it coz she knew those words came out straight from my heart. I said, "Happy birthday and I wish in future also we celebrate every birthday of yours together, love you so much" I think my words were her best birthday gift ever, I could feel that somehow. After conversing with her and feeling the love I realized that LIFE IS DESTINY.

Yes, we don't know if in future, we will be together or not, neither do we know how things are gonna work but we just know one thing that our love is true and pure, we have faith on ourself and on our love, somewhere at the core of our heart we know, may be we are meant to be together, forever and ever but we have now left it all on destiny, to play it's role. Today, I just pray and I just wish to be with her always, I just wish for her well being and to celebrate her every birthday, joyfully, till I take my last breath............
