The Ride

And then the ride started. She was sitting right besides me. Everything was dark in there. In the beginning it was amusing just like a Sci Fi movie and we were enjoying it. Suddenly we heard the words “magnetic field started” and the roller coaster car began to move rapidly, faster and faster. This was the first time in my life I felt so scared. Not because my claustrophobia, but because I didn't see it coming.

As the speed increased I hold her hand tightly. And then the coaster car took three 360° loops in succession. Everything was dark and yet I had a glance of heaven. With the increasing speed and unprecedented loops, I was worried of the fact that why am I holding her hand? (though I always wanted to be with her but this demonstrates that I am a coward). Why I was scared and she was not?. How would she react to it? Would this be another topic for my friend to tease me?

After a few moments the ride ended. I was still holding her hand sitting in the car. Everyone else was leaving. She kept her other hand on my hand and said ,”Hota hai (It Happens)”. Then for a brief moment we she looked into my eyes and smiled. This was the smile I wanted to see my entire life.I wanted to this face every morning I wake up, every time I come home from a hard day, in every ups and downs of my life, till eternity. Now, we both were holding each other's hand looking at each other and had a magical moment.

I wished if I could freeze the time. I wanted to live in that moment and never wanted to get out of it. The same moment that took My Breath Away give me reason to live.
