Smile is just a message away...!!!


Tired and restless, she laid still on the bed, glaring at the unknown sky, waiting for the dreams to take her in their world. The night was peaceful. Millions of thoughts clouded her vision and her mind drifted from one to another in just few seconds. Controlling her mind somehow, she waved off all the thoughts. Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a beep of the phone. Someone had messaged her. Not sure whether she wanted to pick her cell and check, she left it there for few moments. After few deep breaths, her hand moved across the bed, to pick the phone. There lay a message on the inbox. Wondering what was so important for him to message her at this hour of the night. 
Without opening it, she kept the phone back. Did she really want to know what was in there? Was it a happy message? Will the content shatter her? Many random thoughts again dashed into her mind from the still unread message. Possibilities for what worst the message could be and also what best lay ahead. The past experiences always made her think the worst of situations and be prepared. On thinking from all negative, her mind asked her to check the message. 
She gathered the courage and slowly picked the phone to read it, prepared for the worst. It felt like ages and when she finally read it, her face lit up with a bright smile. :D
She lay on her back chatting for hours and it was the chirping of the birds which made her realise it was morning and there was no sign of tiredness on her face. The only thing to be notice was a delightful and pleasing smile.

How small things in life bother us too much. The digital life has changed the way we perceive things. Communication ways are many but communication itself is so difficult. Each of us perceive the things we read and listen in different ways and that becomes our understanding of it.

A unexpected message from someone can make the day and at times we end up waiting hours for a message from someone to just check on us. So why wait to be unexpected? Just pick the phone and message/call that someone who you are expecting or might be expecting you and trust me, the smile will melt the heart.
