'hush hush, no fear ! you'll not remember me ... if this world decides for you to see me again... only after that you'll remember me.. "if this world decides we'll reunite''  

These words still echoed in my head. I needed some kind of closure .I couldn't tell a soul. Those memories revived made things more cluttered .I used to find myself looking for her in the crowds hoping she would just show up surprising me .. I became hopeless .. for a time I felt empty & very aimless .. i felt like a kid who was trying to solve a puzzle where the parts were missing.. I felt my life turning into a never ending maze where i just ran after Cleo . The frustration grew more & I became ruthless to my loved ones. I became isolated.All I did was drink & blame her.

At last i decided to give up . I had to.I decided to live for myself instead of Cleo.I never let myself think about her again after that . 

It was the summer of 1938,I met a girl with sunshine blonde hair..She laughed like a baby as if she was the happiest person alive ..

That summer , while I was on my holidays i decided to visit my sister's house in Michigan .I was having a great time there with my nephew and niece .I felt like connecting to the people again .I had no intention of falling love again. All i ever had known about love was that it had to end in heartbreak & unhappiness. Honestly I did not have faith in love anymore.

My sister Johanna who was happily married and was blessed with two beautiful children insisted me to get married.Her's was a fairytale wedding for which every girl envied her. She was married in a beautiful spring day . I was the happiest that day.As my big sister she felt  concerned about my marriage .She said, ''When are you going to come back with a beautiful maiden ?'' I replied ,'' Don't be so dramatic ! you know I'm not ready yet..''

with a slight impatience on her face she said ,'' You've been telling this for past 5 years .. will you ever get married?''

i replied with a grasp that,'' Perhaps you should just leave these matters to how they are..''

With kindness and pity in her face she said,''Can't you see how happy Byron & I are .. Don't you want that ? ''

i replied with a grin, '' I know ..You guys are so lucky to be found by each other ..  I want the same things just with the right person ..''

Suddenly the excitement & joy Prevailing her face vanished . Ignoring me she went to another room ..

It was just another summer day. My sister went to the shop trusting me with her kids..I was sitting  in her yard as a beautiful golden haired girl  entered the surface.. Nobody quite caught my eyes for a long time  as she did.. The kids were playing with her from which I assumed they knew her very well.. I went to talk to her trying to hide my bewitchment..

As the beautiful blonde saw me coming she turned around & politely asked , ''I don't think I  have ever seen you here ..'' 

Hearing her voice all my efforts of hiding my bewitchment failed & I  made a weird sound with my mouth.. Seeing this she started laughing .. It was the most innocent laugh one could ever witness..

After a few minutes she stopped laughing .She started introducing herself . She said ,'' Hello, I'm Evelyn & you are?'' Because of the sweetness of her voice I had to pause for a moment.. Then my niece Amelia said ,''He is our uncle Joe. he is here to stay with us  .. After Amelia finished Jack said, ''He is babysitting us while mommy is away..''

With a slight grin on her face Evelyn said, '' I see .. He seems like he can not talk right now.. well, i have to go now! say hello to your mother for me..'' placing her eyes on me she said,'' we'll talk when you are ready..''   

My life changed that day.I couldn't believe that i was finally seeing things differently..The smell of fresh breeze made me smile.,The morning sun made me smile , even the birds flying in the sky made me smile . I could feel the butterflies in my stomach .I was in love.. deep mad love.. but this time I did not want to lose her..
