SILENCE

SILENCE
          -Thallukolli

On a pleasant morning.
I was sitting in my chair on the veranda,
a cold breeze passed, I felt so calm inside.
The smell of the ginger tea was making the mood.
The flowers in my garden were shinning like colorful gems.
I never ever seen a dazzling sky like that morning before.
The sun was rising like a child from the bed.
I was mesmerized by the alluring morning and
I sat there for a long time enjoying that moment.
The harmonic music by the birds made my mind flow like a river
flowing through all my thoughts,
suddenly I remember about calling my son.

I rushed into my room. I took my phone and called him.
I was excited and I couldn't even able to wait till that five rings of call.
The first thing I heard was ' Why did you call me, you know that I'm busy '.
Then I softly replied to him ' Happy Birthday '.
A huge silence came into the call,
he was silent, in that silence we remembered every second we spent together.
The memories behold together.
The good and bad things.
The happy and sad times.
The fights and the getbacks.
Everything.
Tears were falling through our cheeks.
The end of our conversation was ' I love you '.
