Afreen!

It lit up a thousand stars and I was left wondering what struck me. Droplets of innocence fell on the ground. I gasped to let out a whiff of brewing happiness inside me. He chuckled a little more. A perfect, perfect smile.. ear to ear.. pink cheeks smothered into a pair of rather wet, pink lips. No teeth whatsoever were in sight.. Just a set of pink gums - vehemently declaring his amusement! Oh, what a funny place this world is, he must be thinking. At the end of his chuckle, he drooled some more and winked at me. Not so much a wink, more like a squeeze of both his eyelids at the same time. I half-smiled and asked with my eyes - what are you so happy about? Think he understood, looked puzzled, may be even a little reprimanded. Uh oh, I was starting to feel a small pang of guilt. Why would I do such a thing when I always knew babies understand what you say with your eyes(And they do!). Just then, from under the blue hood, he stuck his tongue out and flashed his pink gums again in full defiance! I closed my eyes for a split second to store the picture. (I store happy pictures in my head for bad days and low points). Snap, shut and I started boarding my flight to India (yipieee)
