Unique Short Love Story – Love on AIR!

Every evening as soon as I enter the house her beautiful voice hits me like a whiff of fresh air. I hope she knows how amazing she has been to me from the past 2 years since my divorce. In this time I have told her multiple times that she was the best thing ever happened to me, but she was always modest about it. Smiling , laughing and denying it. Her thoughts wake me up every morning and her smile puts me to sleep. Her voice is like the song of a bird that enlivens my mood.
We meet for two hours every day at my house as she still stays with her parents. I have asked her numerous times to move in with me but she is a very conservative girl, she always thought that would hurt her parents , her nature of thinking about everyone and everything around her made her stand unique in the normal set of confused teenagers .
She always participated in many charity events, she believed that helping others is her way of life, and she never forced others to join her cause. Small things like this always make my heart pour out to her and want me to hug her, but I always restrained myself for I know she needs all the time she can.
When my ex-wife came to know that I have moved on from her so soon she wanted to meet Thia even though I thought that this would make her uncomfortable. I persuaded her to give that meeting a chance. That day I got myself some new clothes and left half a day early from office, I brought her favorite flowers red carnations and considered buying roses for my ex-wife just to make Thia jealous, the thought was enticing but I cannot see her hurt so I thought against it
Finally, at 6:30 my ex-wife Anita arrived, she was late as usual and she hasn’t changed a bit, if anything she looked rather beautiful and young. I complimented her, she smiled and said that she was engaged again and could not wait to start her new life. I always knew she was the kind of lady who would move on from one man to another but I never was the person who judged people, so I left it at that.
“So , where is your special person. I have been here since half an hour and cannot find her anywhere” she asked .
I sensed a bit of sarcasm and instantly knew she did not change even a single bit in her brain.
“She comes at 7, and she is never late unlike some people…” before I could finish my sentence I heard her voice and again like everyday it took my breath away.
“There she is,” I said smiling like an idiot .
Anita looked at me as if she has seen a ghost. I knew that she would be really jealous after she meets Thia. I gave Thia her flowers and waited her to say something but as usual she was very calm. When it came to receiving gifts and compliments . She was such a simpleton, believed in simple things of life. Anita hasn’t yet recovered from the shock and kept staring at Thia .
“Stop staring, and don’t be rude” I nudged her arm and whispered.
“You cant be serious” she half smiling half angry.
“Anita stop being so impossible” I said again anger raising slowly.
“You never changed to be the moron you were, god! I’m just lucky that I knew you had some serious brain damage in the starting of the marriage, good luck with your love life and don’t contact me ever” she shouted and ran out slamming the door on my face.
I was scared to look back at Thia, poor thing she must have been shocked with the whole episode. I shouldn’t have put her through this in the first place. This was all my fault and I can never forgive myself for doing this to her. I went to my room and cried my heart out. I was scared that things would never be the same between us anymore but I was wrong, the next day my angel wa back promptly at 7 in the evening. That day I understood that our bond was too deep to get affected by such silly stupid encounters.
That was a long time back and since then our love has been growing deeper and deeper every day. I was more happy with life and looking forward to our evening meetings with a new enthusiasm. Today she said she would be late for an hour and I was already missing her very badly. Thinking that a walk around the building may help , I set out taking my umbrella as it was rainy season and rains in Mumbai were the most unexpected things.
Walking in front of me with a crowd of people around her there she was beautiful and enticing as ever. She has given me strict warning not to talk to her in public but I have already missed her from the past one hour so much that I couldn’t wait anymore. I jumped behind her and held her hand, she seemed shocked and removed her hand and left, but that was not which bothered me, her eyes, they were cold and distant and that of stranger.
That instant I knew that I committed probably the biggest mistake of my life. I went home immediately, hoping and praying madly that she would not leave me alone like the rest , like My parents and the numerous other persons I loved dearly. I was pacing up and down the hall in cold sweat and then exactly at 8 I heard her voice.
“welcomeeeee muummbbaaiiii, you are listening to 305 fm with your favorite rj, thia” she said.
That voice filled my lungs with the air I needed and I knew things were normal again. I laughed and thanked all the gods available in the universe and sat down for my lovely time with her.
