The Simple Gesture
***
Yesterday at the gym, while I was taking a short break, looking down from the second floor.
This girl, out of no where, walked towards her bf, gave him a hug.
Her bf, was half way reading some papers, upon receiving her hug, one hand holding on to the papers, he hugged her back with another.
He then looked at her, gave her a smile. The kind of sweet, understood smile of - I love you too.
His eyes then went back to his papers. The hand still placed around her.
She laid her head on him, smelt him a while, went on to the Juice Bar, fetched herself a cup of drink.
He looked at her, walking off, he smiled to himself before went back to his papers again.
The moment caught my attention. I stood there watching. Thinking...
The couple must have been through alot. The elaborated portrayal of love didn't present here.
What took over, was a simple, understood, mutual comfortability between the two.
No talking. Cos' words are not important here.
The absence of words; replaced by a simple gesture:
Small in action; but big in meaning.
I absolutely looking forward to my own hug, my own small gesture, my own big meaning.
But where is the hug? When is the hug? Who is it from?
Only God knows.
