Attraction

I couldn’t put my eyes off him. Sitting in that waiting room a few days ago, I found myself absorbed by his charm. He was so handsome and so self confident. We had never met before, but seeing him there sitting in front of me captured my whole attention.

I don’t know what made me feel that way, but I enjoyed contemplating his features, his composure, the way he moved, the way he talked --- words which I didn’t necessarily hear or comprehend. That pleasure of observing all his moves made me forget for a while that there were other people around in the same room. But I had to pay attention to that, because she was there, and she wanted me to feel her presence. She was looking at me, and her gaze said it all. I was like stepping on her territory.

But observing them both this time, I realised that there was no reason for her to feel threatened! The flow of love that showed in his eyes when she talked to him, the warm smiles he gave her back, and the tenderness that enveloped them both were enough to show that she was his entire world. I couldn’t help thinking how beautiful it is to have such a relationship!!! It just fills some empty spaces within you.

Time passed and I heard my name being called, which meant that I had to leave the room. I stood up and walked to the door, but it was stronger than me. I couldn’t leave just like that! So I stepped back and walked towards him, looked at him for a few seconds, and then bent and kissed his cheek… that lovely four-year-old baby :)
