Night starts recovering this city. I sit near to the window, Wind that blowing slowly, stroking every piece of my hair...cold but fresh, touching my cheeks softly. No one at home this nite. Everyone is busy with their business. My mind goes to something that happened in once morning long time ago. That guy, that glance, that figure... dont know why his figure disturb my head too much. I dont know him but my eyes locked in him when my eyes glance got him accrossed the street.
Tall, Quite handsome, simply and look alike another man. for first sight, Nothing special but even i couldnt turn off my staring on him... He run faster behind a bus where i was there. He choosed chair in the corner of bus, his brown skin looks shinny cause of sweat and sun's shining. And those eyes, i was seeing them when he tried to find out the chair. Those eyes are so dark and deep. I saw a magic in that morning.
That was my first meeting with him. Then day by day, i met him everyday, and those magic still stay inside me. I like to see him silently, from far. one another time, As ussual, the corner of bus chair is his favorite place. he turn arround his head and found me stare on him. we locked in eyes contact in some minutes. Then he nodded his head and smiling so genuinely, there is a sincerity i saw in his eyes when his lips spread a smile.
It was a misty foggy morning, he turn down from the bus and start walking, i was following him walking on every street, i saw many books on his hand and his lips not stop to sing an indian song, when he passed some little kids, his hand rubbing their head and they laugh together, then after that a little gal run to him and hugs him, he hugs her back. That little gal is blind gal, that things make my tears come down, someone help him to bring books that he brought before. And finally i saw, it was a place like as orphanage.
He teach children at there. He is so shiny. All of them listen to him faithfully. And the most important that touching my heart is how patient he do everything. It couldnt be easy, coz most of children at there is "special children" but he could handle all like as everything is easy. And I ...start falling in love with him...and off course silently.. Oh ..My God...what is this??
Day by day my feeling increasing to him, and so many place he already showed me without he known. All of his social activities. His kindness to poor people, i knew the other world that unknown before. Its almost 1 year go on since i follow him wherever he gone. i knew his schedule, i knew where he go today, or what he want to do tomorrow. Everything is regularly. and that feeling goes deep as deep as his amazing attitude that i knew one by one.
One day, i lost him...i couldnt find him in the corner of bus chair, on every street that he walked on, at every orphanage he was visiting. i couldnt find him. I try to find him out, visit one by one place where he went before walked away, but i couldnt find, its almost 4 months goes on, and I lost my energy, the whole world seem darkness. Astaghfirullah.. where i am now? Suddenly from the other side of street where i stand up, a little girl with broken leg and smile eyes walking to me...and start talking...
Her : Aunti, finally u come here, i was waiting for you for long time.
Me : You ? waiting for me?
i asked her, while helping her to sit on the chair near to us. then she said : Yes, you, Your face and figure just same like as what he said to me?
I felt unwell, and ask her again "He? who is he? and why wait for me? She only smile at me..and said.."He entrusted this to me, he said, if i saw u somewhere i should give this to u. Take this, coz i am sure this is for you"
I took that letter, and said "But who is he? am i know him?" She said, "Yes, You know, his name is SAL, " she start walk away after smile nicely and kiss my hand..."See u later, aunti, am sure i ll see you again and again"..
I open that letter ..and...
Dear You,
That unknown for me, But seem your face already stuck to fill every room in my heart. I like to sit in the corner of bus, because from that place i could know when u come or when you turn down, I could see your back, i could see your cheeks that become pink when i got you stole any glance on me. I could see your eyes that wanna jail me in it. But the most important is i knew that you followed me for last 1 year, I am so happy for my confidence, it seem you felt the same feeling on me..and i have a secret partner that knew what i done. Honestly, i wanna say thanks for that. But maybe i couldnt say you directly. When you get this letter thats means i am already far from you, But know one thing i always close, very close to your heart beat. Now, I entrusted all of i had done and left...I hope you could do what you saw in last one year you are with me. And this poem is something that i wanna tell since the first time we met in the corner of those bus...
If Love could reveal everything..... telling me..whats really happened between me and her
If Love could see everything... showing me, whats seen in her eyes...
If Love could hear everything... whispering me, whats heard in her heart...
If Love could feel anything... cry when she is sad and laugh when she is happy...
If Love could touch everything, take my hand to touch your soul..
If Love could do everything... bringing me a piece of star that i could put in her heart..
If love could tell everything... Tell her..That I love her ...
I love You Girl...Since the morning is begin till nite lost in dream..since every heart is beating and till its last beat...
With Love,
Me...SAL...
