WANDERING EYES

Driving down the street
along with her husband she knows
He is very much in the town.
While the car is speeding along
her eyes get wider and glistening
and wander along the streets to have a
glimpse of Him.
Always she fails to spot Him.
While they were lovers in a faraway city
discussing future plans,
He used to tell : ‘ In case you become
the property of another person in future
there ends our relationship.
However you will continue to
shine like a gem in my soul throughout this life’.
She knew the chance of Him becoming
her life-partner was a distant possibility
since both of them were children of different communities.
It would be an ardous
task to break the barrier separating them.
He could measure the depth of her heart and dilemma.
With the car speeding along the streets 
with her eyes getting wider and glimmering
while they wander down the streets around one day
with blanket of dusk clearing the way for the approach of night
the street lights open their
eyes and banish the darkness.
Her husband was saying with a smile
‘I shall bring Him in front of you one day
Don’t worry’
with her husband patting her back
she remained stunned.
How come he came to

know of her love-life?- her eyes turning moist.
