The Birthday Kiss.!

It was his birthday and we were walking on one of the most silent roads of our city having a good time together. Sharing our ice-creams amd walking carelessly on the silent roads with the juniper trees on both sides and dried leaves and snow spreaded all over.

Laughing, hugging and planting small pecks on each other's cheeks for every sweet line exchanged.
A few minutes later I felt a snow pellet hitting my neck.
"OH FREAK.!!" This is you and I ran towards him to conteract and hit him with a snow ball. Some more time later we both were out of breath. Playing with snow pellets in the feburary month in a city like ladakh made us shiver. We sat on the milestone there trying to regain the lost breaths.

The cold air was blowing my hairs away. He looked into my eyes placing my hairs right. The blowing wind left something behind in us, and that something was love. All the love we had for each other poured down our eyes and he held me in his arms.

I locked my hands around his neck and dug my face into his chest. I felt something eternal. I looked up and we shared a birthday kiss. I was too shy to make eye contact and again dug my face into his chest. We sat there snuggling for a few more minutes and then returned to our apartment walking hand in hand, gazing at each other with a shy smile after every second.

That was when I understood that love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board. No time to think about what's happening. It's unevitable. An event you can't control. A crazy, heart-stopping, roller-coaster ride that just have to take it's course. :)
