Separation Blues...
Sentosa,Singapore. One of the prominent tourist destinations of South-East Asia. On top of the Sentosa sky tower, Humairah, Karthik, and Vaishnavi were holding each other's hand and viewed Sentosa and other isles of Singapore. The 37m tall Merlion was the main attraction of the island. Karthik explained Humairah "Some renovation work is going on. It will get over by June 2004.So tourists are not allowed for the time being."
Humairah loved the coupling of lion's head and fish body. It was almost like two religions on one life.
The underworld water and Dolphin lagoon. The Dolphins outside the glass were lucky to watch a historic couple holding their hands tightly. Two hearts, probing for one desire are on a special meet. The largest underworld water of Asia and the people inside the glass would not have listened to this conversation.
Vaishnavi understood this special current and she moved a little away leaving Karthik and Humairah alone - unalone.
"Karthik, what a world? We saw a large golf ground - Sijori wonder golf earlier. Now we are under water. You are someone in this earth. As love approaches you, some one is yours. Even these Dolphins love. This world is beautiful."
Karthik pretended as if nothing happened to him. "Are you feeling feverish, Humairah?" he asked.
Humairah did not reply with words. She zipped her lips with Karthik's, holding him tightly. It was spontaneous. It lasted for 3 ½ minutes. They realized as there was a chaos in crowd when two dolphins approached near the glass. Vaishnavi was watching this from a distance. Humairah slowly yelped near Karthik's left ear "Even sex is a form of Love." Vaishnavi's condition was pity.
The love sequence continued on fort Siloso, Lost civilization, Butterfly Park, Insect Kingdom and museum, till they came back to Singapore's Thandayudhapani temple on Tank road.
"Humairah, Jus' wait outside here. We'll be back in 20 minutes or so." Ordered Karthik in a requesting voice.
"I want to come inside" adamant Humairah replied.
Vaishnavi hided her feel with a smile. " Humairah, Karthik was named after the God in this temple" she said, as they climbed the stairs of the temple.
Humairah was excited to note the camphor and lights lit around the God. She was wondering the way people rushed in and prayed. Some of them had hooks ('alagu') inserted into their chin or tongue. The God was beautiful. She was given 'vibuthi' powder after chanting and a hand bell show. She exactly followed Karthik and Vaishnavi, pasted it on her forehead and inserted a little inside her mouth. This was a different experience for her. She's delighted.
They then went to 'Little India' where Humairah gifted Vaishnavi with a costly silk sari. Humairah enjoyed the evening. Vaishnavi consoled herself and invented reasons for it. They returned to Vaishnavi's home for dinner. Karthik left home after dinner. Both Vaishnavi and Humairah felt tired. But this did not restrain them from usual night chat. Humairah will leave tomorrow. Vaishnavi was anxious.
"Hum, do you really think you can marry Karthik?"
"Yes" said a confident Humairah.
"Is it that easy to convince your parents or Karthik's parents? The probability is too low."
"I don't go by probability or possibility. I'll go by my mind. I love Karthik. He also loves me. I think, we are made for each other." Fate dubbed for Humairah. Humairah was almost a different personality after the 6th day. Is that the power of Love? Is Love an arrogant feeling. Yes it is.
19th April 2004. Humairah fell at Aunt's feet and got her blessings. She hugged Vaishnavi, as her eyes were in tears. Humairah gave her diary to Karthik. Karthik wrote on Humairah's diary on April 19th jus' under her writing -
"If I could be anything in this world, I could be your tears, so that I can be conceived in your heart, born in your eyes, live on your cheeks and die on your lips."
Tears rushed out of Humairah's eyes. She pulled his fingers and gave a sweet bite. Karthik joked, "You are still a non-vegetarian girl."
Humairah left Vaishnavi's home and Singapore, but not Karthik's heart and will never.
