That phone call!
On a summer afternoon, I was deep asleep and suddenly my phone rang. I received the call, but couldn't hear a single word. For a few seconds, I thought it was a dream. Later on, realized it was a real call. Called back only to hear that chirpy voice, that makes everything straight in my life! (okay before you start wondering whose voice is this, it was my Angel!). So it was a call from my Angel.
It was one of those days when we had a meaningful conversation. A day, when we had our normal chat, as deep as our relationship.
I love speaking with her, as every time we talk, it strikes a chord with my heart, and triggers some thinking. I don't know how, but she knows how to touch that thought which I have been keeping aside from acknowledging (and I do not tell her this during the discussion). She gets to know this either by a text or an email or a post here. Old habits seldom die!
Surprisingly, she always knows what's bothering me, and what's in my heart, despite not being able to talk much or get to see each other (we have been staying in two different time zones for past 10 years). I love the fact she questions me in a way that leaves me thinking about my acts, effectively helping me getting aware of myself! And then she herself wonders, how am I, so aware of myself. No wonder we have a soul connection.
Today, she asked a question, what has changed in you? And I was like, you tell, as you know me more. She knew something has changed in me, and smartly said, nothing much, but you just have gone back to your shell (Once again she had nailed it). It took her almost four years to break this shell and now everything seems to be back to square one. She was right in a way, but am glad she understood, that may be for the world the shell is there, but for her, it's the same.
In her words, I have detached myself from most of the things, and I do agree with her to some extent. I do wonder, what made me so detached but still attached enough to appreciate certain aspects of life. Or have just stopped showing the vulnerable side, maybe have realized that emotions are important but it's the practicality that wins!
Regardless, once again, she knew how to get things out of me, without realizing. Guess it's her simplicity of words and gestures that made me an open book for her. She knows which chapter to read and when to read and maybe has bookmarked her favorite ones already. And I still wonder what made her hold on to someone like me?
