It was about 7 am in the morning and I was sitting outside in the garden of my house, reading newspaper. A girl came towards me with a cup of tea. She was Liza. I took the cup of tea from her and told her to sit as well. Then she sat beside me in the swing.
“How’s the tea, honey?” She asked.
“It’s very sweet. How could you add a lot of love in it, dear?” I replied. She gave me a pleasant smile.
And with that smile of hers, Prismith woke up from his dream.
“Oh! Why didn’t I reply to her smile then?” He grins.
He had been having dreams like that since the day he proposed her. Sometimes, he would be playing with her in the cold river water, or they would be posing for the pictures in the big stones in the river of a big forest, where no one could find them, where no one could see them. Sometimes it would be the little babies of theirs, clinging onto his arms, asking him to play with them even in the office hours.
He used to wonder what was the meaning of those dreams. He even thought those events might be happening in the mirror world.
“I don’t feel like running today. I will take the bicycle for today. Maybe I can have bicycle love with her” He smiles at himself, taking out his bicycle from the garage.
Liza was already there in the park. She waved her hand at him when she saw him, coming towards her. He also tried to wave his hand while on the bicycle, but nearly got fallen down off the bicycle.
“How about it Liza? Let’s go for a ride today.” He offers a ride to her.
“Ok. Let me take a seat then.” She accepts and tries to sit in the back seat.
“Not there. Sit over her. That way I would be able to embrace you from behind as well.” He offered her to sit on the top tube of the cycle.
“Are you feeling good riding on the cycle?” He asked her. He was riding the bicycle slowly so that she won’t get afraid.
“Um yeah. But I would love if you could increase the speed.”
“So, you love the speed huh. How about it then.” He increased the pace.
Because of the air, her hair would reach his face and play with his facial parts. He could smell the elegant fragrance coming from her long, beautiful hair as well.
‘You really smell good’ That was what he wanted to say to her, but he didn’t, thinking that wasn’t the thing to say to a lady.
Maybe she felt that her hair was disturbing his vision. So, she tried to tie her hair.
“Do you know how to ride it?” He asked.
“Nope” she gave a short answer.
“Would you like to learn it then? I will teach you.”
She hesitates. But without waiting for her reply he gets off the cycle and tells her to sit in the saddle.
“Come on, I will hold the handlebar for you. You just need to put your foot in the pedal and force it to move forward.”
She does so. She struggled a little in the beginning but she felt comfortable afterward and started paddling little faster.
“Hey hey! Easy easy! Keep it slow.” He tells her.
She tried to slow down, but the balance was disturbed, and he could not keep up with the speed.
Prismith falls on the ground, with Liza above him, and the cycle above her.
He looks at her and starts smiling.
“Why are you smiling?”
“It’s because I got a reason to hold you in my arms.”
“Do you even need a reason to hold me? I don’t think you do.” She winks at him.
“Hmm, I was trying to be a gentleman you know. But I got the license to hold you now. Be aware. I might go out of control just like the bicycle.” He teases her and holds her tighter.
“Stop it Prismith. People are watching us. Let's stand-up”
“You are above me, isn’t it dear? Are you hesitating to stand up because you like my sexy touch huh?” He keeps on teasing her.
She stood up and went to the bench where she had placed her bag. She opens her bag and takes out her thermos flask. She pours a cup of tea and walks towards him.
They sat in the grass having tea from the same cup and enjoying the lovely morning.
“How’s the tea, honey?” She asked.
With a smile on his face, he replies, “It’s very sweet. How could you add a lot of love in it, dear?”
