the lonely airport road

the road to the old airport was deserted....the old airport..once the hub of activity in the city was all quiet...just like an graveyard...lost and forgotten....the new airport was now the upcoming part of the city...build to perfection..nearing almost all international standards...it was the pride of the city...

the pride of the old airport was almost fading away with no one walking the roads that led to the arrival and departure terminals...but in all this...it was one of the quietest place just a step away from the shimmering main road...a nice place to go and walk in the morning and evening...a nice place to sit in the green lawns and just get lost in your thoughts...a nice place to walk hand in hand with your loved ones.....

unlike his daily routine...today he came for the jogging a bit early...probably about 30mins early....the road was deserted...with just a few people lazing around here n there in the lawns surrounding the road...he started with the brisk walk....he walked the first lap pretty fast...he knew soon he would have to start the jogging....so on the second lap he started jogging....halfway through the lap he saw a girl also there doing a brisk walk...he could just see her from the corner of the eye as he had almost crossed her by the time he had noticed her....at the half way mark he turned around to see who she was.....so he jogged down slowly to catch a glimpse...but she was walking on the other side of the road....so he jogged faster to complete this lap and catch her on the next lap....

this time he slowed down his pace....he planned to cross her when she was under the street light so that he could get a good look at her....as he neared her...he saw her...she was just amazing...her hair..which was open...shinning black under the soft light of the neon light...kept coming in front of her face..but didnt bother her..as she neared the streetlight ...he saw her face...so soft and cute...and yet so simple...a bead of sweat just went down from her forehead as they crossed each other....he looked back....she just kept walking....he sped up...completed the lap and turned back again so that he could get a look at her again...

he turned and slowed down...this time he jogged back on the same side of the road...she had already started her walk back after completing her lap...he slowly jogged towards her so that the timing would be perfect when they cross each other under the street light..as they neared each other...she looked up...he was already looking at her..while jogging at his slowest...she saw him looking at her...he was taken aback...so he tried to look away...but then he saw her smile...and he looked at her again...she was smiling as she crossed him...he smiled back and kept jogging...

he sped up...he was smiling...he was happy...maybe he could see her smile again...he completed the lap and turned back....she hadnt turned back...she kept walking and turned into the colony gate...he saw her turn...he looked down..but he knew he had to complete the lap...so he slowly jogged to the end of the lonely road...as soon as he reached there...he took a deep breath and then when he turned...what he saw..made him smile...she was standing at the gate..she smiled...he was short of breath after the jogs..but managed to smile back...she turned and walked back home with a small dance step...he smiled and started walking back home...he knew he would see her tomorrow again...atleast he was hoping and praying he would....

the lonely airport road...wasnt lonely anymore :)

this is a pure piece of fiction
