and I took a seat at another table for two. We had a
pleasing conversation; she even proposed we hangout sometime when
we’re back in Toronto. I felt elated with the exchange we had over
the breakfast buffet, though my mind would partially regret every
passing moment where she didn’t know how I felt.

    Time turned quickly, and a weekend of
memories was about to end. Waiting for cabs to the airport we took
seat in the hotel lobby. Rohini and Akil were about to head off on
their honeymoon; the rest of us will be back to our boring jobs and
regular routines. It took about thirty minutes, but the first cab
showed up with room for four people. With others willing to wait
Rohini, Akil, Hasini, and I were the first on our way to the
airport. The drive to the airport consisted talks of the memories
we made this past weekend; upon arriving I was first to be out
unloading luggage from the trunk. Hasini remained alongside myself
while Rohini and Akil made way to get their boarding pass.

    “Last night, in the hotel room; I heard
everything you said,” she said.

    My eyes pound open with an unstoppable beat
within my heart; it was disbelief. She calmly grabbed her luggage
and rolled it away with a smile, while I was left feeling remote
from my body. Clicking back in I grabbed my bags and ran behind
her.

    “Hasini, STOP!” I shouted.

    “You heard everything? So you weren’t
asleep?” I asked, extremely curious.

    She stood with a continual grin on her face;
it was pure torture. I needed to know; looking down at her passport
and ticket she once again calmly drifted her head side to side.
Stepping closer to her, standing eye for an eye I asked, “Hasini,
What are you thinking? I need to know what you’re thinking.”

    “ That day when you tried talking to me at
the bar for the first time, I was pissed at you. In those moments,
I really did not feel like seeing your face. After realizing you
were Rohini’s brother, I found myself laughing in my room, all
alone. It’s been quite a while since I laughed like that. From that
moment till the instance you saw me standing by shore your face
kept popping in my head. Then later that night when I was walking
back towards the hotel, I hoped for you to call me back, and you
did. I find it very difficult to tell people about the struggles
I’ve faced, but in your presence it came without my notice. I put
my trust in you faster than I can do with any other. Though our
dance is when I knew I completely fell for you. Even when lying in
my bed I pretended to sleep in hopes you’d say something, and once
again you made my hopes come true. I don’t want this trip to be the
end of our journey.”

    Grasping Hasini close with no distance to
spare I saw it in her eyes once again. This time around I wasn’t
going to let my chance go; I kissed her, something I wanted to do
this entire weekend. Letting breath go slowly she remained embraced
to me; for the first time I felt love.

    “Aren’t I just like cupid?” Interrupted a
voice.

    It was Rohini, it seems as if this were her
intention the whole time. If I didn’t love my sister enough before,
I sure as hell am thankful for her being now. If it weren’t for
Rohini, Hasini and I would have probably been two people who never
got off to a great start. By the time all four of us got our
boarding passes the others arrived from the hotel. Their reactions
after seeing Hasini and myself together were quite priceless;
Thiru, Mahat, and Asha were glad I was finally able to find someone
who taught me to love. Then there was Benny; he had a real hard
time trying to figure out how she liked me.

    “ You? She likes you? Man, this is
unbelievable; no offence bro but how can anyone fall in love with
someone like you? You got no game!”

    What an annoying creature he was, but it was
amusing in its own way. If I were to actually analyze it even I’d
be curious. Hasini did though, and to me that’s more than enough.
My flight back to Toronto won’t be
