1. THE END ( Lines from the 1st chapter of BLACK COFFEE.)

                          Today was the day. It has come. The day when I had to leave Cardiff, the day I had been waiting since I came here. But it was unusual feeling, I was feeling bad. Why was I? After all I had been waiting for this since I came here for my studies. But I guess it was natural for all people, spending time creates intimacy. And the same thing happened to me. I would never forget Cardiff, where I spent my life’s five good years. The city had never treated me as stranger. The roads the parks and the lake everything welcomed me when I came here. And it feels they are saying me stay…. Don’t go!!!

This was not the situation, yesterday I was so exited to go back to India , to meet my father, dadi, dadaji, manoj kaka. And sheru my horse. I had been making plans how and what I would do when I would be in India. I had been missing my father daily. And it was for whom I was returning back India. It was not like that I never missed my grand parents, but the most I missed was my father. Not a single day passed without missing him. Actually he had been more than a father he was my buddy.He was every thing for me. And after five long years I was going to see him, although we used to talk and did video chats but I guess technology could not fulfill the void of real presence and real experiences.

                          The flight was of 5:30 evening. And I knew Clare would definitely come to the airport, I never wanted she should, but I didn’t object her. I knew how she felt about me and how I did about her. She never told and neither did I but we both had understood each other.  Alex was going to drop me to the airport. Every thing was fixed. Time was passing at normal speed. I promised Clare that “I will come back.” ……………………………………………………………..
