One of my secretdreams.

"beeep beep beep beep". I woke up, wondering who would've smsed at 2:45 am. i fliped my phone open, and my eyes read "one message recieved. Abi". i got up staright, rubbed my eyes properly, wondering if that was true. i read it again. in clear black bold fonts it was written" abi". i punched the 'open' key.
"hi madhu! how are you? how did prashantna's wedding go on? listen, tell amma to call me, i need some money to pay the mess fee. tell simi to keep the DHL bills safely. i'm in a job treat right now. the yearbook is coming out reallllly well! tc!~ gimme a call whenever possible".
i read it over and over again. hands trembling, i called him up. a chhery 'hello' answered my call and then zooooooom! we spoke and spoke and had a good long chat after a long long time. he told me that he had gone on a vacation far away and missed us a lot. he asked me how 10th was going on. gave me advices on math and all ;) and oh my! he was so damn excited about the yearbook!! i complimented him on his new display pic on orkut(the half sun glassed face).
after 20 minutes, i kept the phone.
happiness filled every cell of my body. tears welled up. i sat motionless. everything was finally back to normal. next week, he would be coming home. in a few months, he'll be off to New York. the puzzle was completed. it looked perfect- everything in it's place.
and then, one puissant sentence flashed in my mind, "abi is there".
yes, he is there-with me, with all of us.
he will be- "ALWAYS".

the past seemed like a nightmare.
and the present, seemed like nothing but a dream..
nothing but a dream.....
