Love at First Sight

My teeth were a constant problem for me. I don’t remember having that many chocolates as a child, but what Dentist told on my first visit was «You seem to had owned one whole chocolate factory. What ma..!!! Only chocolates and icecreams aahn???? ..."(gulp!!! now how did he knew dat?? But wut is dat ma...huh!!) :0. Next he calls up his junior " 6 Cavities, I gum cutting, 1 RCT, 1B, 2G, 7F, blah blah....." I dint knew my mouth really had these many docs to be noted ...I felt like he just placed an order at the railway canteen... " randu chai, moonu paripvada, naal pazhampori ". She noted down his orders even faster that that railway canteen guy...
One thing was sure... Bank balance was gonna face some serious downfall.... but then there is always those reimbursements from d company :)

Thats how my 1 month long appointments with the Dentist started...and thats were I saw this really handsome creation of GOD... I met him on the very first day when i was leaving out from the Dentist's . I had never believed in it ...But then this… this... was happening 'Love at first sight'... He was handsome... The perfect thing on him was his eyes... the dazzling eyes, i've ever seen....He was special...
I put on the best smile in town and moved forward to him for a handshake ( I was scared a bit... This was my first time ever... that too a Stranger....then u dont meet someone like dis all d time..) What I received was a surprise.... the handshake (it was a soft handshake but then a lovely one...)with a 'u fall head over heels' kind a smile. That moment I knew Dentist trips wr gonna be something more than Just Dentist visits.... :)


My visits to doc's primary reason became him, teeth were really secondary ... I used to reach at Dentist 1 hour before appointment time and leave 1 hr later...he always greeted me with a smile... He was always there, It was like he was there only for me... waiting for me..... I had asked his name lotz times... but then he just smiles... Always I could read from his eyes, that he was lonely… He missed someone, He needed someone to talk to, ... Someone to hear him .... But when I was with him... He was all fun… He was a silent listener, I used to talk and talk and he used to sit and hear. Whenever I talked , his eyes were all on me, he really dint want my mouth shut...(rarely people like dat way) ... He secretly wanted my conversations to last for long( even I did). All this one month went pretty soon and He dint miss any single details of my every day 'kahanis'...

Today I thought of finding his name, Its one month now, but then I dont know his name.....I wanted to call him by name (surprise him dats what I wanted...)... I was sure Doc would be knowing his name and true he knew... he said "Timothy" :) with a smile... I was excited wanted to run and call him by name...

But all excitement left when Doc told that this will be last visit since everything is done up.... I should have been happy... all one month of pains, injections, everything is gonna end, But then what about Timothy... when will I see him, how’ll I meet him, he’ll again be lonely....... I already started missing him....I dint know when I am gonna ever meet him again...I wanted him to know how much he meant to me... It was d goodbye time.... and I always find those goodbyes really tough ....The moment he saw me he was all happy and that same smile was there... I dint want to tell him, this would be one of our last meetings coz i dint want it to be.......I sat near him.. silent, and he was reading my eyes...As something had told him, he came near me placed his head on my lap....It was just Silence....Its true sometimes silence speaks more than words...

When told him goodbye at last... I could find those eyes going wet... He was sitting quietly and watching me leaving, I just turned back and called Timothy... there he came all running, wagging his tail ... Oh he is the best... he knew it was a real Gudbye... but den too now I know U Timothy ....

I am really gonna miss u dear... Timothy- My sweet Labrador.......

PS: Timothy is the labrador I met at the Dentist...The name has been rechristened by me....
