After 4 years of marriage and 8 years since I know him, I can still recall the day I first saw him. And the very thought brings such a sweet smile on my face that I cant thank God enough for bestowing his blessings on me...
I was just 22 when I first saw him. He was a complete stranger to me at that moment; little did I know that he'll be my future, my life...
We were a bunch of freshers sitting outside the university computer science department on the stairs waiting for our classes to begin when he passed by like a breeze so soft and gentle that I could immediately feel a magnetic aura surrounding me. At that moment I saw him and instantly had a liking for him. Those charming handsome looks and the captivating innocent boyish smile, and ofcourse not to forget the naughty eyes :-)
I did not know anything about this guy, I dint know his name, I dint know who he was, and I dint even know what was he doing there. But he had such an impact on me that that day I experienced a feeling as never before. I was happy, very happy, and suddenly everything around was beautiful, I loved myself!
I was spellbound by his presence itself!
A few days hence a group of seniors were taking our ragging session (intro as they called it :-)) and each one of us was supposed to perform something. As my turn approached I started singing the song "jhuki jhuki si nazar...". I was comfortable with myself and confident even though I was looking down at the floor. But all of a sudden my voice became shaky and nervous, I dint know the reason why, and I was confused! I looked up and to my surprise that guy was sitting there amongst other seniors!! He had quietly sneaked in to join the fun. My throat became dry, my heart started pounding, and I messed up the lyrics. I hurriedly tried to finish up. I was totally embarrassed to have messed it up in front of him. But atleast I was happy to know that he was one of our seniors, since that would mean that I could see him more often. And that day omwards I would eagerly look forward to these so called intro sessions just to have a glimpse of him.
I still remember one of these sessions...all juniors were asked to look down at the floor while anyone's performing. He was sitting in the front seat of the row where I was seated. I raised my eyes without raising my head to catch a glimpse of him, and caught his naughty eyes already smiling back at me. I blushed and hurriedly looked down again. That day was the first time he spoke to me! It was my turn and he requested me to sing some ghazal, and that was the day I realised he liked my singing!! Not to mention how elated I was :-) :-)
As the days passed we interacted more and I saw the wonderous thoughful person that he was. His peppy spirited personality. The love he had for his family especially his mother made me respect him even more. His sensitivity, and his respect for women, his keen intellect and expression of different shades of life, caught me in complete admiration of all he was. He could be the greatest companion to be with I thought to myself. One fine day after about 4 months when I first saw him, came the most awaited question to which I obviously happily agreed...
And here I am today telling you this story of August 2002 in August 2010. Even after 8 years those loving memories are still so fresh in my mind. These fond memories are a treasure I will cherish for life!
Dear Hubby, Life was beautiful with you, is beautiful with you, and will continue to be beautiful with you...
You are a wonderful person, a great hubby and ofcourse the BEST DADDY to our cute cuddly adorable son! :-)
