HibernationLetters (RM)

Dear RM,

This one's for you!

Going back to that one afternoon during the humid Summers when I reached your place all drenched with sweat, is what I do often while remembering you.

The glass of drink you made me complimented the weather. My throat was so dry that I gulped it all in one go only to realise later that we didn't clink our glasses to “Cheers” and also that my head had started swinging.

Oh, I miss those days now especially in this heat. I miss when we went to the club and just lay there reading some hilarious pieces out of “Mother pious lady” and soaking ourselves under the Sun, getting naturally tanned. And how can I forget when MnM & I returned exhausted from work and you took us for a Thai spa!

That was one heck of an adventure, now you must be recalling it I know! Hahaha.

Those summers were beautiful when spent in your company.

I've come to the mountains where the winter prevails for a long time so I'm missing out on some warmth. But there's no looking back for now as I decided on this journey on my own to see how high I can climb, till which peak of it I reach. And when I achieve the goal I'll put a flag there in the name of our friendship and I promise not to forget ‘raising a toast’ this time.

That afternoon was the first time you allowed me to your bedroom where you don't invite anyone easily (also because I already had mine separate at your place).

We played every season from the Coke Studio playlist and sang along with it. Roaring our voices, imagining ourselves on a hypothetical stage and being under God's grace all that time for the neighbours didn't call the cops, filing a complaint for noise pollution.

Now when I remember that day, believe me we had a narrow escape!

Or else

We might have ended up in jail and that would have been another exhilarating story to tell!

We should think about more such new ventures before my hair turn grey as I am collecting all these stories for the next generation. Why should they have all the fun? Huh!

P.S. The alternative to this letter in my mind was plucking every petal from a Rose and counting- You miss me! You miss me not! Jeez...that seemed so outdated 😏

You already know that I love you, right?

Whimsically sane in this insane world
