A Mug of Coffee ☕

   

     In the evening, she was sitting on the balcony of her bedroom watching down the road from the 8th floor. She was admiring that Orange blue shade of sky with floating white clouds at the horizon. In such he came with a mug of coffee. He sat beside her and handed a mug to her. She gave smile and uttered, "Thank you MOMO". He figured that his GOGO was surrounded by dozens of confusion, she was intertwined with worries and was sunk into an ocean of anxiety. She took her first sip and said," that's refreshing", and forwarded it to him. They use to have coffee in the same mug. 

       Noticing her tension, he shifted himself towards her and took her hand and started playing with her finger. While sipping the coffee she said, "What are you doing MOMO? He was silent and was busy playing with her grown nails. Then he scrolled his finger around her cheeks taking aside her hairs and approached, " GOGO, I know this is a tough time for us and especially for you". He kissed her palm and kept her hand on his chest. He continued, " look, all I wish for a better ending for the efforts you took for it. I appreciate and admire all the hard work you did for it. No matter whatever results will be I am part of your result." 

       She felt relieved. The dancing anxiety in her head was slowing down their steps. He further said, If you wanna fly, I will be Wings. If you wanna run, I will be Legs. If you wanna scream, I will be your Voice. And if you wanna work even during nights I will be your Lamp. GOGO don't feel alone in this struggling journey, your MOMO will always share your shoulders. 

      She took off her hand from his chest, came closer and rested her head on his chest and whispered, " I am so lucky to have you MOMO, you are my happy place. 

     She took the mug towards his mouth and he sipped. Both were silent. Listening to horns of vehicles on the road down there and slowly stars were giving their attendance up in sky. 

     He softly said, "I want you to take your own decision, I want you to be successful. I am already proud of you but make me prouder. You being a girl, I think you should break all those stereotypes and should prove yourself so well, so that other girl will walk on the same bold path that you walked. And in this whole journey being your partner I will be your shadow, sometimes left and sometimes right, sometimes ahead and sometimes back, sometimes beneath your feet. But one thing is for sure, you got all of me." 

        Now all the dancing anxiety in her head ceased dancing and were on the verge of extinction. She felt rejuvenating and so light. She took his hand and kissed his fingers back and answered, "Beloved MOMO, this is the best coffee I ever had. You make me complete indeed. And I love you to the moon and back."
